I think what Microsoft or what I hope they are doing is poaching PlayStation players by giving them a taste of Gears and Forza in anticipation for Gears E day and Forza 6- both which I hope are on Xbox and PC exclusively.
@JetmanUK you’re saying this now without realising the possibility of PlayStation going multi-platform. This is the way that gaming is going in the near future.
Also it’s a bit sad that your commenting on the future of the employees on this site, acting as if Xbox is shutting down soon.
Not to fussed about this as it’s a 4 year old game at this point and at least it’s not Forza motorsport so it’s not a direct competitor to grand turismo.
All we need now is some playstion games on Xbox. Maybe last of us or horizon perhaps? It’s definitely possible given the new leadership change at Sony 👀
Amazing showcase, doom the dark ages and ninja gaiden 4 was definitely the standout. South of midnight looked good but we needed more details on the frame rate etc.
It’s also good how Xbox came out with a clear message at the beginning of the show saying that all games shown today are on game pass day one and release dates were given.
@donv2135 100 percent agree. Last year was pretty much a success for Xbox given the games they made, let’s see if they can increase it this year. Some of their decisions were awful though.
@OldGamer999 I think u have mentioned the absence of stock for the series x/s plenty of times. Doesn’t really conclude that ‘Xbox is letting the stock run dry’. Could mean they are focusing on the selling the digital series x.

In all seriousness why can’t the call it the Xbox series x2? Making it very hard for the average consumer to understand which console is best. Also if there is no meaningful performance upgrade then I don’t see the point, much like the ps5 pro.
@OldGamer999 I don’t see Microsoft killing the Xbox console given the scale of recent acquisitions and changes to the structure of the Xbox management hierarchy.
Even if the AAA games they release are not 90 plus metacritic, it doesn’t mean the game isn’t fun or enjoyable as I really liked starfield (to an extent)
This year’s cod feels really promising due to the beta. Omnimovement seems a bit hit or miss and needs a bit more work but I’m glad they are adding new features to the game.
1080p for 60fps on Unreal 5 games seems like a sacrifice people have to make. Either that or people have to go back to whining about 30fps on modern consoles in 2024.

Even if it isn’t, we still have gamepass!
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 So Far?
Don’t normally play or like turn- based rpgs but this looks incredible. Will definitely check it out.

Re: Talking Point: When Did You First Get Introduced To The World Of Xbox?
I remember my dad getting us the Xbox 360, Kinect and the Kinect sports bundle. Ah good times
Re: Two More Xbox First-Party Games Are Moving To PS5 In 2025
@OldGamer999 completely agree with this take.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Officially Announced For PS5, Drifts Over In Spring 2025
@JetmanUK didn’t mention how it would be all PlayStation games, but it would be best for a staggered approach like Xbox is kind of doing.
Didn’t know this site went through these types of troubles. Let’s hope we can all stick together as community.

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Officially Announced For PS5, Drifts Over In Spring 2025
@Isolte let them have Forza motorsport, at least PlayStation players have to pay full price instead of playing it via gamepass.
Once I see that gamepass has gone to PlayStation, I’ll believe into the Xbox console aspect is dead.

Re: Rumour: Leaker Names Multiple Xbox Games Potentially Releasing On Switch 2
@mac_da_man theoretically the Xbox handheld would have gamepass but the switch 2 would not.
Re: Rumour: Leaker Names Multiple Xbox Games Potentially Releasing On Switch 2
@OldGamer999 you think Xbox’s messaging has been bad, have you not seen how PlayStation have repeatedly cancelled promising-ish live service games?
Funny how I don’t see the doom and gloom messaging from certain people on the push square article relating to this

@PsBoxSwitchOwner how many times do you want to make an account to troll.
Re: Sony's New $320M 'Alliance' Has Left Xbox Fans Breathing A Sigh Of Relief
@PSDeckSwitchOwner weren’t u the person that said this on the push square site:
‘What a shame. I was hoping to see future FromSoftware games become exclusive 😫
At least PlayStation and PC would've been fine’.
Re: Xbox Reporter Says That Microsoft 'Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward'
@themightyant and @Banjo- argument is turning out to be bigger than the console wars themselves.
Re: Xbox Reporter Says That Microsoft 'Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward'
@YeyoFairy 100 percent, if u don’t like the decisions that some big corporate heads are doing, then leave the console before it leaves you.
I’m happy with timed exclusives but it depends on the game. Like u can’t make gears e-day a timed exclusive, gears is synonymous with Xbox.
Re: Xbox Reporter Says That Microsoft 'Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward'
Interesting how reporters like jez cordon etc make these types of articles when Xbox makes a major success such as Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.
Hmm
Re: Ubisoft's Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Reportedly 'Disbanded'
I’m actually so disappointed. I was definitely expecting a sequel to this amazing game

@themightyant oh right thanks for the correction.
Re: PS5 Pro's $699 Price Was 'Easier Decision' Due To Lack Of Xbox Competitor, Says Analysis
@OldGamer999 your acting as if Xbox doesn’t have a solid lineup of games coming out later this year and the next.
Even if these games go multi-platform, they are still coming on gamepass day one- hopefully…
Re: PS5 Pro's $699 Price Was 'Easier Decision' Due To Lack Of Xbox Competitor, Says Analysis
@themightyant I doubt gta 6 will run better on the ps5 pro as gta games are usually cpu limited which is a problem as the ps5 pro has the same cpu.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Beta Review (Xbox) - Treyarch Tweaks COD Formula, To Mixed Results
This year’s cod feels really promising due to the beta. Omnimovement seems a bit hit or miss and needs a bit more work but I’m glad they are adding new features to the game.

Feel really bad for developers these days.

Re: Xbox Fans Left With Questions Following Strange 'Marvel's Blade' Reveal
Probably will make it multi platform (hopefully not) due to the ftc. Either way I hope it comes on game pass.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Xbox & Activision Blizzard?
Just want to see a bunch of Activision games onto gamepass. Hopefully the older legacy games
