Gaming Trend: World of Tanks is a free-to-play powerhouse on the Xbox 360. Since it launched in February 2014, Wargaming has had over four million unique players, 40 million battles, and 60 million hours of ground warfare logged. People love World of Tanks, and the stats show it, with the average play session lasting four hours, higher than anything other than the leading MMORPG’s.
So it’s a no brainer to bring the game to Xbox One and offer it to a wider audience, but Wargaming has proven that the switchover is everything but a cash-in on the franchise’s success. First and most importantly, you’ll be able to compete against players on Xbox One and 360 simultaneously with a completely smooth transition for anyone who wants to play on both systems.
From Babel UA: "With the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against the aggressor also affected the video game industry. The largest game publishers — Ubisoft, EA Games, Rockstar — have limited sales of their products in Russia and Belarus. And Steam, GOG and Epic Games stores have stopped accepting payments in rubles. But Russian players have already learned to circumvent the bans of publishers and shops — there are many instructions about how to do this on the Internet. The situation with the game developers of the aggressor countries is even more complicated. Many of them are not officially Russian or Belarusian, but have long opened offices in Europe and work from Britain, Hungary, and other countries. Russian developers usually donʼt comment on Russiaʼs aggression against Ukraine, continue to cooperate with Western companies and sell their games to Western players. Babel tells about the games Escape from Tarkov, World of Tanks, and War Thunder, which are popular in Europe and the United States, and about the behavior of their developers, who deliberately do not publicly state their position on the war or order advertising from outspoken supporters of the Putin regime."
This is an interesting update to the game. World of Tanks is more than just pure steel and firepower; it’s about tactics and strategy, and the latest event takes this up a gear! Players can master the Art of Strategy from today until early May.
WAR IS FOREVER! World of Tanks welcomes G.I. Joe & Cobra onto the battlefield. FIGHT TO SAVE THE DAY!

Hell yeah!
The Xbox One will include additional features ancillary to the gameplay, such as integrated Twitch.tv streaming, instant replay, uploading screenshots, and many other social features. The previous generation of consoles, however, are far past their prime as far as hardware, and Wagner noted the limitation during World of Tanks’ previous development.
Good to know. I played the PC version, not going back to 360 for obvious reasons, will try the xbox one version.
Sweet
Yes! We need more games like this is there are over 80 millions X360 still out there. This is very nice!
