Xbox head Phil Spencer will show off Windows 10 at the PC Gaming Show
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer will take the stage at the PC Gaming Show on June 16. Don't worry, he's not coming to E3's first PC-exclusive stage show, run by GR+ sister site PC Gamer, to talk up Xbox One. Instead, he plans to show off some of Windows 10's new gaming features.
Spencer will be joined on stage by several developers working on games for Windows 10. Microsoft's latest operating system is planned for launch on July 29, both as a standalone product and as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users.
"For us, the PC Gaming Show is the ideal place to speak directly to PC gamers, and it’s a great time to talk about Windows 10 - the best operating system we've ever created for gamers on PCs," Spencer said in a press release. "With Windows 10, we're bringing the best of Xbox with the best of Windows gaming, including Xbox Live and the new Xbox app, Game DVR for nearly every game, and DirectX 12 for better gaming graphics and performance."
You can check out the full interview with Spencer over at PC Gamer. The PC Gaming Show, held at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, will also include appearances from Boss Key Games' Cliff Bleszinski, DayZ creator Dean Hall, and representatives from studios including Blizzard, Square Enix, and Obsidian.
It will all be streamed live via Twitch, with StarCraft commentator Sean 'Day[9]' Plott as the master of ceremonies.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
