Xbox has apparently fixed the bug that contributed to some players being unable to launch games, including those on physical discs, in a new update it's deploying. Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet hopes the fix sticks – and that Xbox products in the future won't be so sensitive.
Van Vliet is one of Xbox Game Studios CEO Asha Sharma's many new executive recruits – he's been the CTO since May, and he oversaw Microsoft's Azure OpenAI business product before that. So no wonder he sounds nervous. Two weeks ago, Van Vliet apologized for the "unacceptable situation" that was Microsoft's game launch bug, and he writes in an update on Twitter that Xbox engineers are actively looking for ways to improve its clearly vulnerable software.
