@fatpunkslim It’s commendable you still have some faith on the Xbox of old but that quote probably means PC exclusive games, beta or early access releases, and further on when they stop releasing new titles on Series X|S consoles, he also literally said the games weren’t ready because the strategy shifted, which might also be the case for Gears E-Day, but after Fable being confirmed for PS5 day one and Forza dev saying on the Direct “it’ll release on PS5 as soon as it’s ready” do you really still hope something like the next Halo or any 2028 big tentpoles and on will be given some type of Xbox exclusivity? That age is really over.
Basically what many comments here have been saying, the games releasing first on Xbox do so just because the ports weren’t ready yet as the multi-platform pivot was very abrupt even on their internal teams.
For me it’s crystal clear that “consistency” is about releasing in all platforms at the same time, yet some still cling to the idea of “case by case” basis, that’s over.
It managed to be a very successful franchise for 25 years without releasing elsewhere, ironically the peak of the series was back when it truly was an Xbox exclusive and didn’t release in PC, I really doubt that releasing on other platforms will revitalize the saga, after failing for more than a decade I don’t even know if there’s something to save.
It’s a nice feature for the very niche audience that has both an Xbox console and a capable PC (and endures using the subpar Xbox PC app), but lets not kid ourselves by citing 3 tweets as a major trend making lots of gamers buying games on the Microslop Store, that just ain’t happening…
@ILuvGames What’s so hard to understand about time being the biggest factor? I personally have time to finish 2 or 3 ~20h games every month, what’s the point of paying to have 400 games available if I can only play 3 max every month?
I’d rather play 3 games from my backlog and/or buy $30 worth of games, get to keep them forever and build a long-term library opposed to renting games out hoping the corporate overlords don’t increase the price yet again, same thing with the $70 launch games, sure they don’t come cheap but now they’re worth just a bit more than 2 months of a subscription I’ll not fully utilize, I find it waaaay more justifiable to pay upfront for a game I really want to play and knowing I don’t have a time limit to fully enjoy it and replay it whenever I want, if it isn’t a must play just wait a couple of months for that same game to drop 30% in price and in most cases wait around 3-6 months and it already costs less than one month of Game Pass Ultimate.
At $30 it really is unjustifiable, at least for me.
At $30/month is simply unjustifiable, unless you’re playing games 24/7 there’s simply no time to take advantage of the service plus if I’m being honest most new additions are not appealing to me, I’d rather spend those $30 buying games I actually want to play on some deals to keep them forever.
@FraserG An important note from both Windows Central and Insider Gaming is that backwards compatibility will most likely be reserved for the Microslop branded PC, meaning that our console games will not suddenly be able to play on the Rog Xbox Ally or any other Xbox branded OEM device.
For every new rumor this console/PC device sounds less attractive and poses more questions, I really don’t look forward on having to rely on the subpar Xbox PC app and endure Windows 11 bloatware with its updates and infinite popups for Microslop services such as OneDrive, Teams, Game Pass, Copilot, Office, etc.
Rather than dealing with Windows I’d keep my Series X for its legacy library and keep using PS5/PS6 as my main console until I can build a PC of my own with steamOS or wait for a more powerful Steam machine, buying a $1000+ Microslop branded Windows 11 PC is out of the question.
@fatpunkslim Lmao why are you trying to normalize giving up on a generation just 5 years after launch? It’s not even remotely normal, and any other failed consoles at this point such as the Wii U or Dreamcast at the very least tried to turn the ship around with bundles, deals and exclusive games, none of which Microslop has even attempted in the last year.
This is worse than abandoning the generation or the market as they want to squeeze every single penny out of the loyalists that are still on the “ecosystem” as you call it, an what exactly is this “ecosystem”? The few titles available in Cloud Gaming (only via subscription even if you own them)? The fewer titles being Play Anywhere on the terrible Xbox PC app? The games or players on other platforms? Or just a fancy word Microslop likes to throw around to make us think they actually have a plan?
Nope. Forza Horizon 6 could be the best cars game ever made and will still be ignored and taken for granted, Gears of War will be good but it has never been an awards-seeking franchise, Halo Remake we just HOPE it can be good and isn’t plagued with a million issues at launch. I don’t see Fable or Clockwork releasing in 2026 at all but those are the best shots at getting a nomination.
In my opinion Doom The Dark Ages deserved much more praise and awards this year but most gaming journalists chose to outright ignore it.
This was the first good ad that I’ve seen for Xbox in a loooong time, but could’ve been even better if they focused on the games rather than the subscription as most people just finding out that the service is now $30 a month they immediately laugh it off.
Same reason why they now have the $1 deal back for new GP subscriptions and 50% discount for returning subscribers (the exact same price before the hike).
They know they have priced themselves too high and most people are not willing to pay that much.
The big 3. They have it so easy to start the 25th anniversary very strongly with Halo, Gears and Forza, I don’t think Fable is in this Direct or even coming out next year.
I do hope they provide solid dates and not end up saying just 2026 and release them all the same month.
First year that I don’t expect to even cross 100 hours on Xbox since more than a decade ago, been much busier and I have the whole platform in hiatus, not abandoning it but not investing in it either.
It’s smart as they’re showing people “PS5 has our tenpole exclusives plus all these third-party games including Xbox’s” while Xbox consoles are being outsold by the Switch 1 and even some Kinect-like startup…
With the amount of consoles they’ve been selling in the last few months (less than half the Switch 1, yes Switch 1) I wouldn’t be surprised if they just stop producing them instead of raising prices yet again as it’d only result in even more bad press for the brand after a brutal 2025.
@Questionable_Duck That device if it even ends up launching is already poised to be $1000+ and 2 years away with lots and lots of questions still up in the air, the Steam Machine is already a more tangible product and while not being able to play my Xbox library most old games are dirty cheap, newer ones are cheaper than on any console and you don’t need to pay a subscription to play online, so I would actually consider assuming the cost of switching platforms but saving so much more in the long term, all hanging in the actual price for this, if they can get it to around $499 I would personally have a big decision to make.
@themightyant Maybe not in the same level as Bungie, but it hasn’t been a success; YoY growth is minimal, just last quarter the overall gaming division went down 1% and sales/subscriptions only rose 1%.
Those are pretty abysmal numbers after spending nearly 80 billion dollars and why the entire division is in turmoil, not to mention the long-term damage for the brand and customer mistrust.
It’s funny how both Activision-Blizzard and Bungie acquisitions for Microsoft and Sony respectively ended up being a complete disaster and perhaps the worst business decisions they’ve ever taken.
@fatpunkslim That’s the biggest mental cope I’ve read this week…
I already expected Microsoft to sabotage themselves their own games launching Halo CE and Forza Horizon 6 on the same month (very likely November as it happened back in 2021), now they can either rush games to market, put them against GTA 6 or delay them into 2027.
Can’t see Gears of War E-Day and Fable launching next year at all, so the big 4 games that we expect for next year might get pushed to 2027 in classic “next year is the year of Xbox” energy.
Fable cancelled or delayed to 2027 in the best case scenario, Gears of War E-Day delayed to 2027 and somehow end up releasing both Halo and Forza Horizon 6 in the same month cannibalizing each other…
1% growth with Activision, King, Blizzard, Bethesda, Xbox Game Studios is more brutal than hardware down yet another 30%, I guess we can expect another studio closure within the next few months.
Next quarter will reflect if the price hike on Game Pass actually makes up for the lost subscribers, if it goes down it’d be significant.
Jez Corden openly mocked people for speculating about Forza, Gears or Halo making its way to PlayStation just a year ago, I wouldn’t take anything he says seriously, his article states the same speculation that we’ve been hearing for months, at this point it’s an expectation but there’s still nothing clear at how Xbox consoles games will run on PCs or how will they handle other launchers’ updates and drivers, if they under deliver or over price that hybrid console device it will be the final blow to the brand, yet if they pull it off it can have an interesting future.
At this point, nothing as it was expected since they confirmed Forza Horizon 5 on PS5.
Many of us assumed since the “only 4 games” were announced that Xbox was stepping into a spiral of death and irrelevance and just look at the brand now less than 2 years later after that announcement, being the most overpriced of all the big 3 with no exclusive games planned and the worst PR image the brand has ever had, Xbox’ mascot jumping to PlayStation after all this decimation in the last few months doesn’t even hit anymore.
It’s been obvious, all those hardware price hikes due to “tariffs” and price hikes for games and subscriptions citing “market conditions” it’s all a big BS excuse to increase their profit margins and with those completely unrealistic out of touch expectations we’ll keep seeing cancellations and studio closures every few months.
And it’s specially infuriating as they want to squeeze out every penny out of longstanding fans of the brand, the ones that stood with Xbox One and have been waiting since 2013 for “the year of Xbox” that never came.
No, and reviews only confirmed my expectations, Windows 11 just sucks for handhelds even with the Xbox overlay, you can’t skip all the updates, ads for MS services, drivers, launcher updates, game updates and a million other popups that just aren’t there with any console, and if you really want a PC handheld there’s a ton of better priced options with little to no difference in performance.
Also, I think it’s a very poor first attempt to “merge” Xbox with Windows, and still don’t know if or how they’re gonna pull off merging Xbox consoles’ library with PC and having Steam available too, I just don’t trust Microsoft to actually deliver on that.
This conversation repeats every 3 months because trust in the brand in at an all-time low deservedly so, also, even if the new hardware exists, are they actually going to care to distribute it and make an effort to sell it? Because Series X and S are technically not cancelled but are nowhere near as available as they were just a year ago.
@Weebleman If that’s their 4D chess goal it’s gonna backfire epically, people will buy their games yes but elsewhere, whether on Steam, PS5 or even Switch 2.
I personally haven’t spent a dime since the “only 4 games” were announced, I won’t sell my Xbox since I still have many games not easily available elsewhere but I’m avoiding the Microsoft Store like a plague.
@SodaPop6548 Tariffs are an excuse, Microsoft seeks to turn profit out of everything under the Xbox division, raising hardware prices twice in 6 months, attempting to raise games to $80, cancelling multiple developments and shutting down studios, and of course raising Game Pass by 50%, the only thing for sure is that the bloodbath ain’t over.
Clockwork Revolution is by far my most anticipated game but I refuse to get hyped since it doesn’t even have a release year and Microsoft may wake up one day looking forward to cancel it, same situation with Fable and State of Decay 3 to be completely honest.
The only ones I take for granted are Gears of War E-Day and Forza Horizon 6.
