When​ ​her friends​ ​were falling in love with soap stars, Vikki was falling in love with​ ​video games. She's a survival horror survivalist​ ​with a penchant for​ ​Yorkshire Tea, men dressed up as doctors and sweary words. She struggles to juggle a fair-to-middling Destiny/Halo addiction​ ​and her kill/death ratio is terrible.

That's according to, which today published a report stating that Xbox president Sarah Bond had recently written to Xbox staff to reaffirm the company's commitment to hardware development – which will be welcomed news for many Xbox fans – and a plan to"future-proof" Xbox's digital libraries to"build on Xbox's strong history of delivering backward compatibility".

Bond also confirmed Xbox has"formed a new team dedicated to game preservation, important to all of us at Xbox and the industry itself". "We are building on our strong history of delivering backwards compatibility to our players, and we remain committed to bringing forward the amazing library of Xbox games for future generations of players to enjoy," Bond said, with sources telling Windows Central that Microsoft"may have more to share publicly" about this come its annual Xbox Showcase in June.
