Steam features coming to Xbox 360 soon

Microsoft’s recent signing with Jenkins Software which enables them access to the company’s RakNet Tech has opened up a world of possibilities for the console.

This  new tech would give gamers access to a world of exciting features, however, the most important and coolest of which will be the ability to get Steam integrations in future releases for the console.  A similar feature was recently added to the PS3 which enabled it to use a few of Steam’s services like cloud storage, cross platform-chat and more.

The primary list of features it adds to the Xbox 360 are as follows:

• Lobby and room matchmaking
• Network address traversal connectivit
• Use of Steam servers for forwarding traffic

This could very well mean that Steam features, similar to those the PS3 is offering with Portal 2 might be making a appearance for the Xbox 360 aswell. Microsoft might even use RakNet’s tech to allow access to mods and other stuff which might be releasing for Valve’s very own Portal 2 and many more titles in the future.

This is exciting news indeed for fans and we’ll keep you updated as more on this emerges.
