@GADG3Tx87 zero chance. Not even Disney would test a deal they signed with Microsoft. This was just Microsoft realizing they would make a ton of money by releasing this game everywhere.

@NEStalgia it got delayed.

Also, even though it's an xbox controller, it's been announced for PS5.

But that version wasn't delayed, so they all have theirs already.

Lol playstation fans having to wait like 3 months for Indy the same day Genshin Impact is announced for Xbox after like 5 years AND while FF 16 and 7 still aren't announced is the most xbox thing ever.

@NEStalgia a free demo of Game Pass Vista professional 2, an autographed picture of Phil's mansion, some Xbox 360 socks, and access to Game Pass Sorry, a program that informs you about the latest game delays before anyone else!

@WhiteRabbit oh that's GamePass Laissez-Faire.

@WhiteRabbit I apologize. Please allow us to give you a free 1 month subscription to Game Pass Pretty Decent.

Remember kids, Game Pass Standard is not to be confused with Game Pass Diet, which is entirely different. Oh and it's NOTHING like Game Pass Infinite. It's also not exactly like Game Pass XL, but it's close. On the other hand, Game Pass Ordinary won't be available until 2025, so in the meantime just subscribe to Game Pass: San Francisco. Hope that helps!

And that is exactly the problem.

Microsoft is treating xbox like it's nothing but a revenue stream. As a result, they don't really care about anything but making money. Exclusive content? Quality games? Release dates? They don't care. They're going to announce that Horizon 5 is going to Playstation at some point this week. Why? Because they'll make money.

Microsoft is basically just a 3rd party publisher that just so happens to produce a console. Avowed will probably end up on Playstation, as will Indiana Jones and the next Elder Scrolls. It is what it is. Not the end of the world really.

I expect them to put all of their live service type games on everything. It will make Microsoft a lot of money, and incentivize staying in the console space. This isn't a big deal.

Great! See you in 2027 when you announce that it's been delayed until 2028!

Xbox Series D.

So let me get this straight.

Microsoft has one of its best new IPs in YEARS just fall into their lap. It's exactly the kind of thing that has been missing from their portfolio and pretty much everyone loves it.

So they immediately shut the studio down, and now they've sold off the IP as well.

How do ANY of these people still have their jobs?!

Microsoft finds a new way to make fools of themselves every day lol

Dammit.....

.......one of each, please.

It doesn't even matter if they said it. The fact that it's completely believable that a developer WOULD say is extremely telling about the state of this sinking ship lol

I mean...if you're not used to disappointment with xbox by now lol. The problem is that no one believes anything they say about pretty much anything. I'll believe indy is coming out WHEN it comes out. I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if we're still not playing Avowed in the spring of 2025. Microsoft has burned all their goodwill.

@InterceptorAlpha my current game pass ultimate subscription is up at the end of August. Then I'm out lol

The team's first project, despite not being announced yet nor development having been started, has been delayed.

@abe_hikura I like that you factored in the inevitable delays.

And the game is already delayed.

Microsoft is going to be the first company to announce a game delay during the game's reveal trailer.

@OldGamer999 they would announce that they intend to run the race next Thursday.

This is pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to.

I'm just kind of over Xbox at this point.

@OldGamer999 indy is DEFINITELY next to be delayed.

Xbox strikes again.

This company's inability to deliver anything on time is absolutely legendary.

@Ilyn @Ilyn "frustrating to unsubscribe" is subjective. If you're too lazy to do that, then you aren't trapped, you're too lazy to do something. Consoles aren't likely to go away anytime soon. They will most likely provide a premium experience for people who want to play with the highest specs short of a pc. This is ALREADY HAPPENING. the vast majority of people in Xbox's ecosystem aren't playing on a console. The variety of services are choice. Having to own a certain console in order to play a certain game? that's much closer to being trapped.

@Ilyn how are you trapped? Let's say you want to play Starfield but you only have a PS5 and a PC. There is an easy, straightforward way to do that without having to buy an xbox. You want to watch a movie, you COULD always just buy it. You aren't required to buy new hardware every time you want to watch a TV show. AND, it's perfectly doable to buy any of these services for a month to watch whatever you want to. You aren't trapped at all lol. The future is that you'll be able to play whatever game you want without having to buy multiple boxes.

@Ricky-Spanish as I always say, gamers are the only Fandom that puts up with being locked out of certain content this way, and then told that it's a good thing.

This is the way forward. Microsoft has frequently been the most willing to go first. Once they establish a profitable business, Sony will follow. Nintendo will take several years to do the same. In the end, games won't be trapped on any one plastic box, and you'll be able to play whatever you want on whatever you want to play it on.

Hopefully they're more than straightforward remasters, as the games are well over 25 years old, and HOPEFULLY Sony hasn't paid them to put the games on every electronic device on earth except for Xbox lol

Ahhh, to be a second-class citizen 😆

Make better 1st party games, and release them in a timely manner. That is literally all we EVER asked for. No one asked for ANY of this, and let's be honest: they still haven't given us what we did.

I think it will end up being 7 years. Microsoft has some work to do to earn trust back. I can't see myself investing in another console from them right now. Some of the games they have coming needto land first.

@BHPM I think it's their THIRD largest division! I don't get it either. It seems to come from Nadella, who was about to shut xbox down entirely in 2017. If it were entirely up to him, they'd walk away today.

@BHPM Microsoft hasn't cared about xbox in a long time. They'll be perfectly happy to sit back and rake in the COD and Minecraft money. Once they turn a profit on their investment, they're out. I wouldn't be surprised if there IS no next console.

Free to play MMORPG Soulslike roguelike metroidvania gacha remake remaster coming right up!

Why, is this another new Game Pass tier?

I love how they say "the negativity surrounding Xbox" as if it isn't self-inflicted lol.

Don't you HATE it when people are mad at you because of your actions?

Remember kids, these games are only playable if you have Game Pass Core or Ultimate. You can't play them if you have Game Pass Basic, Game Pass Simple, Diet Game Pass, or Game Pass Beautiful. The games may be made available for Game Pass Texas, Game Pass Vanilla or Game Pass Gluten Free in the future, but we haven't decided yet. Games available for Game Pass Gametastic will be decided on a Game-Pass-by-Game-Pass basis.

So they've created a tier that is COMPLETELY useless 🤔 ...

Phil, and in fact much of the leadership, need to go. Indeed, Microsoft needs to make a decision about the continued existence of Xbox, because at this point, they're just getting on everyone's nerves. You get the feeling that if Microsoft ever did decide to leave the console space, it would be announced via a short, vague press release, probably the day after Phil gives an interview assuring the fanbase that everything is fine and Xbox will be around forever.

This has been my #1 problem with Xbox for years. I'm sorry but Phil has to go. Xbox HAS to be led by someone capable of creating and executing a concrete, straightforward plan. Notice that once again he's gone missing when there's bad news? Not great leadership.

@somnambulance that's LITERALLY all we asked for.

@NEStalgia all this nonsense when ALL WE ASKED THEM FOR was games. 'Hey Microsoft, why can't you get better games over the finish line?' Turned into all this....and most of their first party games STILL aren't that good.

My current subscription ends in September; I'm done after that, I've already set it to not automatically renew. I've had enough.

@Retron me too. My current subscription ends in September, then I'm heading over to Playstation.

I'll never forgive EA for taking competition out of sports games. This is why sports games pretty much don't change at ALL year to year.

The showcase was great, but now Microsoft has to actually deliver on the games. To be honest, we've spent a lot of time waiting and waiting for games that come out after numerous delays and are 7/10 if we're lucky. They've gotten better overall but some of these games need to hit a little harder

Much much less. I still love gaming but I have far less time to actually do it. This is probably a big part of the reason why I dislike games with long cutscenes, this is time I could be actually playing lol

@evan23 ........."becoming"?
