Automated excerpt
Like Xbox XP, announced last week, Xbox Labs is a centralisation of existing initiatives, rather than an entirely new endeavour. Examples include making existing games playable through web browsers, additional game features, and expanding multiplayer experiences. The spokesperson said that Xbox Labs had no product announcements currently planned, and it would not have a fixed route to users: while some Labs projects may manifest as features made available to the Xbox Insiders program, others may target different user bases and would be distributed appropriately.
