Xbox One is reportedly getting a Steam Workshop-like take on mods

Microsoft is showing game developers a presentation that highlights the creation of its Xbox Community Content service that will enable people to bring mods and hats to games on that platform, according to a rumor over at the news blog Windows Central. This new initiative would enable developers to use built-in tools on the Xbox to enable fans to add their own content to games. It would work a lot like the Steam Workshop in Valve’s store for PC games, which means studios will have a lot of control over what the community is officially permitted to change in their products.

Windows Central posted some screengrabs of the report, and these claim that Xbox Community Content platform is launching later this summer. That would put it only a few weeks out from now. It also provided some answers to how this would work. I’ve reached out to Microsoft to ask for more details about this, and I’ll update this post if it responds.
