It would be great if this helped improve download speeds while you're playing a game on the console.

Halo is finally arriving.

Whether or not it comes out on PlayStation is something for PlayStation players to worry about; all I know is that I’m going to play everything on Xbox.

Bring it on, beast.

If they try to make another game with South of Midnight's budget now that they're independent, they'll go bankrupt. I liked the game, but given the reported budget, it's absurd for a title like that to cost so much. Anyway, I hope the studio stays grounded with its future projects.

They could have done that in Forza Horizon 5 too; I lost all my save data last year.

I picked up the Ultimate version yesterday using only Microsoft Rewards points, without spending a single real. Thanks, Microsoft.

@Millionski This is the most profitable generation for PlayStation only because the PS5 and its games are more expensive than PS4 games. However, net profit was better during the PS4 era. Another thing is that PlayStation released very few games from its studios exclusively for the PS5; most were ports from the PS4, and today they are all on PC. The Xbox division was more profitable than PlayStation even before ABK (Absorbing Keynes), I'm talking about net profit, which is what matters in the end. After ABK arrived, it became even more profitable until the pressure of the 30% net profit margin from Microsoft to invest in AI and the increase in hardware component prices. This increase in hardware costs was what ate into profits the most, since Microsoft outsources all console production. For every Series X sold, the loss was $200. The Series S wasn't mentioned, but they said the loss was even greater. Sony produces some PS5 components in-house, which is why it manages to somewhat offset the loss when selling its console.

In 5 days you won't finish any of the most open-world Ubisoft games, unless you don't work.

@Millionski Avowed seems to have done well according to Microsoft's metrics, which don't just include sales, so it got the green light for a sequel. The Outer Worlds 2, which seems to have surpassed the one million sales mark, only didn't sell more because it was released in a complicated month, launching between two colossal titles last year, BF6 and ARC Raiders, which is Microsoft's fault for releasing on such a bad date. And they still have Grounded 2, which even in game preview is doing very well. It was even said by these Rumos people that Obsidian is not at any risk.

My Microsoft Rewards points are ready.

Can you imagine everyone running away from GTA 6? It's the game, and it's been delayed again.

Halo is the best.

@FreasurePlanten Early access on the 23rd, and for those who get the more expensive version (either through Game Pass or the standard version), the release is on the 28th. The game will be released in its entirety.

@TheBeardiest This period was a time of peace and a return to normal life for human beings.

So it should take me about 25 hours. Good duration.

@8th_Observer Only Arkane Austin, which had already been losing developers for some time because they didn't want to make Redfall.

Project Mara never became a game. It was a project that might or might not go ahead. Ninja Theory abandoned it to focus on Senua, which will be the biggest game in the Hellblade franchise.

People who are too eager ask about a game that started development in 2024, when nowadays a game takes 5 to 6 years to develop. Games aren't a piece of cake.

Then they complain about showing a game multiple times without ever releasing it.

Thank you, Phil Spencer. Your numerous trips to Japan to speak with Japanese developers have paid off. Xbox has never received as much attention from Japanese developers and studios as it does now.

Graphically far inferior to Forza Horizon, but it's also difficult to compete with the Turn10 ForzaTech engine, currently in its X version.

It aimed for Forza Horizon and ended up with Need for Speed. I hope it's more decent than the current Need for Speed ​​games.

@Millionski The game doesn't use Unreal Engine 5; it uses the same engine as Forza Horizon 6. ForzaTech X.

It doesn't cause any problems; even Microsoft itself has joked about it.

This is the third game today, and it's a Microsoft IP that's also on Game Pass. And keep in mind that Steam isn't even the main store for Activision and Blizzard games on PC. Battle.net is responsible for 80-90% of their PC game sales.

@Skinny-Pete Yes. They are rare cars.

Currently playing, I'd definitely give it a 9. The game is great; using the shield with runes is a delight.

@InterceptorAlpha Don't worry, besides Tokyo, which is quite large, there are also smaller urban areas scattered throughout the map.

This is by far the Forza Horizon game with the most urban areas.

Those who acted too hastily might regret it.

G.E.A.R.S - September
Fable - OCTOBER

Kameo: Elements of Power just play

Doom the dark age.

Forza Horizon 6.

So, they'll have to remove Xbox games from PlayStation and make more exclusivity deals. Because that's by far the biggest complaint from these people. I don't mind Xbox games on PlayStation, but there are some people who don't want them on PC either.

Another complaint from these people is being addressed gradually by focusing more on the console, which had been neglected. More frequent updates with real changes to the console's software.

What's missing now is increasing console production and finding a way to lower the price.

If you have any other complaints besides these, please share them.

@somnambulance For those who don't play much, it's really not worth it.

Change the marketing strategy and unify the marketing strategies so that each studio isn't doing things its own way. Build a marketing team using people from each of these studios.

@carlos82 Game Pass premium.

The cover of Forza Horizon 4 features the McLaren Senna. So that's the only car that won't be on the cover.

Awesome! The only thing missing was the rumor that says a sequel to Halo Infinite is also in development (I'm dying to see that sequel).

As for the remake, I hope Halo Heath gets made too. Halo 4 and 5 don't need it; they're still beautiful today with very good gameplay.

It would be great to have remakes of 2, 3, and Reach. 4 and 5 don't need them; they're still beautiful today.

A sequel is definitely in order. Everything is ready for an awesome game. A new villain, a new race of ancient aliens, new mysteries to uncover, and a new Cortana. I just hope that this time they manage to do everything right in the development phase and don't have the problems of Infinite, which resulted in a large cut in content. I really liked Infinite, but the open-world part was weak.

Forza Horizon 6

It turned out great, and anyone who wants COD just needs to farm for about 4 months of rewards to get the vault version at launch.

For those who are afraid of other games being removed on day one, this doesn't even make sense since the service has existed since 2017 and day one arrived in 2018. The problem is that Call of Duty is very much an outlier because it's an expensive game to develop, with a marketing campaign, and it's released every year. Three Call of Duty games must cost the same as the development of GTA 6, just to give you an idea of ​​the values ​​we're talking about.

Call of Duty was way out of the ordinary in terms of development costs; the 2020 version cost $700 million, and those values ​​have been rising year after year, and Call of Duty is an annual franchise. To give you a comparison, GTA 6 reportedly had a development and marketing cost of $3 billion. Three Call of Duty games already surpass that amount if you add marketing and the cost of maintaining online play and updates.

Finally, someone called this guy for a chat, since this thing has been spouting a bunch of nonsense to himself for a while now, only talking about Xbox, which he's never worked for, instead of talking about Sony, which he knows very well and even has contacts there. I hope that after this, he'll stop talking about Xbox and things he doesn't know and start talking about Sony, which he knows so well.

Very good. Looking forward to seeing what they will do in future updates.

This completely unreliable group uses store reviews to estimate game sales figures. Zero credibility. We'll only know the sales figures for Microsoft games on any platform the day Microsoft or the other companies where those games are distributed decide to release them. This group is a scam.

And yes, they themselves said that this is their method; it was so bad that they later deleted it. Great method, right?

This rumor also circulated last year. Exactly the same rumor coming from the same people. Jez Corden should only be taken seriously when he writes on Windows Central.

I've watched several videos from content creators and I can say that the game is amazing. The attention to detail is incredible. I won't say anything to avoid spoilers for those who don't want to see anything about the game and want to be surprised, but this has everything to be the best open-world racing game in history, I mean the best Forza Horizon, since when it comes to racing games, Forza has no competition. It will also be one of the games with the best graphics of the generation.

This Terran Armada DLC will provide the sense of urgency that some people complain about in Starfield; it will be similar to what was in Mass Effect 3. You have an enemy that seems to want to dominate everything and makes several attacks in various places to achieve this goal.

What was already great is about to get even better. And Bethesda is bringing a lot of new content to Starfield, both free and paid, in the form of DLCs.

And speaking of DLC, this new one is amazing.
