Videogame developer and publisher Crytek GmbH has welcomed the unveiling of Xbox One,
the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, reiterating that their

Director of Global Business Development at Crytek. "As developers begin to create new
games for Xbox One, our technology and unparalleled support will ensure CryENGINE 3 users
remain at the forefront of the industry now and well into the future."

and popular online games, and is the first all-in-one development solution that provides
