If I deploy a 3D game for the UWP, will it be playable on, in example, XBox One?
If so, what technology does it use?
C# or C++?
DirectX or EGL?
How?

Thanks in advance.

Why is this question downvoted? It’s a legit post, though another question from you has some elements of answer: Native GUIs and multimedia - Archive - Godot Forum

When it’s about consoles however these answers have info if you do a search:

About UWP export, I don’t really know myself, but at least Win10 export will work.
C# support is planned for 3.0 as well as DLL plugins through the DLScript module (so anything supporting C linkage can interface with Godot without having to recompile the engine).

Here you can see Godot platformer demo running on XBox One https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyw--v8EcWk

There is a topic about this in the docs: Compiling for Universal Windows Platform — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English
That’s for 2.x though, it might change in 3.0.

I’m very sorry, I thought I did read all the docs but it’s like I didn’t.
Now, this might be slightly ot: is there any book about the UWP with C++ and EGL?
Please, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Bye, Ivano.

I don’t have much experience on UWP itself, it’s also off-topic indeed.
