    Interesting, but where's the problem? They may have at some point experimented with multi-platform and didn't bother to change over the name of this server when repurposing it back into general use. Calling it the xbox patch server doesn't necessarily mean anything than a name.

    I just noticed this too, running a tracert after rebooting my box this morning. That's a new one to me, it used to be just patchserver.crypticstudios.com, so it definitely caught my attention.

    I'm not sure what it means, beyond 1.) it's a backup server they're using from past multiplatform experimentation/intentions, or 2.) 2015 might yield platform expansion soon. A wait & see thing, more or less.

    Arent games like never winter coming to Xbox one? That could explain something, maybe they getting this server ready to handle those updates.
