There has got to be a catch to all this. If I buy the next Xbox but just spend my money on buying Steam games (which I would) then won't hey lose even more money?
Also Steam has some very NSFW games on their store will I be able to play them on the next Xbox? If I get an Xbox I want to be able to play my full steam library not just a selection of games.
So first if I want a next gen Xbox I will be forced to have windows on it, and now I'll have to have an app I don't even want on my current gen console? I really hope you have to download it from the store like any other app.
I hope the next Xbox is able to play all these old games. Sure they put some good ones in the backwards compatibility program but so many great games aren't there for different reasons. If it's just the same old games I can already play on my Series S than I won't get it for a long time.
I don't think this will bring in the casuals who play Fortnight or Roblox. Too expensive and parents aren't going to buy little Jimmy a console twice as costly (if it is that much) as the cheaper more causal experience PlayStation or Nintendo offer.
I think it will be a very niche product. The average gamer isn't going to buy this over a cheaper PS6 imo. And what happens when the version of windows is abandoned eventually? Will it need an antivirus too like a desktop?

Re: The First Reviews Are Going Live For Starfield's Terran Armada Expansion
The space battles and ship stuff was what I hated most about Starfield so to hear there is an emphasis on that is really disappointing to me.

I would have liked it if they squashed more bugs before moving on. There are still the same bugs the original had in it. And some new ones.

Re: Bethesda Says Starfield Looks 'Amazing' With Nvidia's DLSS 5, But Don't Expect It On Xbox
Looks like AI slop to me.
