Yep. This is the zombification of Xbox, nothing else. Xbox was done the day Forza, Gears, and Halo arrived at PlayStation, and hardware sales sunk to a point of no return.

Now, Microsoft is using it as an AI business lab.

He will be quoted in the next Xbox showcase, with epic music behind.

We are so back! Team green, reunite!
I can't wait to be at home to play some Xbox!

The question is how relevant is Halo, Gears, Forza, or Fable, to a whole new generation of gamers, or people who doesn't have a long history of purchases, playing time, and friends in other platforms.

Top selling Xbox games in PlayStation store are the most clear example that Phil was right: none game, no matter how good it is, will move people to Xbox.

So, if Asha wants exclusives again, that have to be accompanied by a more huge and integral plan.

Well, it became more reasonable in my country. Good news. Asha's on fire.

@Ganon7880 nice you had zero crushes, and zero bugs; but DF was discussing resolution, and framerate.

Welcome to the site.

@themightyant I think I've become more selective, and aware of what I'd like to play, but I don't have problem dropping a game if I'm not enjoying it.

I used to play as much as I could, chasing that eternal backlog. At this moment, I'm more inclined to explore fewer games in deep.

@themightyant In the past I didn't care about achievements, testing random games for a 30-40 minutes, or letting parents launch whatever in my Xbox profile at home.

At some point I became a 'completionist', and avid user of TrueAchievements. In that site you can see your overall completion rate, which it's unlocked vs locked cheevos of every game you have touched.

I'd like to remove some undesired titles from that pool, games I don't plan to play, having a ratio more representative of my current habits. But, I can live with the notion that I can delete them, and that's the way things are.

@themightyant I got your point. There are some games with 1-2 unlocked achievements that I don’t want in my history. I’d like to delete those mainly.

Maybe a good solution would be able to delete titles under certain time played (eg. 2 hours) or achievements unlocked.

I hope hiding games is the first step for deleting titles we don't want in our profiles. I really want to curate my history.

The Xbox One X still holds up. It had a solid GPU for its time, and you can plug in an external SSD or even replace the internal drive with some tinkering. Many great enhanced games.

Fantastic. Some news, at last.
There are new details about the game in an interview with the Head of Undead Labs, Philip Holt, for Sunny Games Youtube channel.

I'm ready not only for a 2026 Year of Backlog, but 2026–2036 Decade of Backlog, even beyond.

No way I'm spending $1000+ in new hardware, since what I have at this point is perfectly functional.

I just want some State of Decay 3 news. Gameplay, and release date.

"Build Your Own Game Pass" = just buy what you want to eat. But, Game Pass is more "all you can eat". It's a model based on economies of scale. So, the former idea won't work.

Detachable, I guess. I feel it's the best decision to make the main device cheaper.

@themightyant It's true, now the game is in better shape. I have never played it, but with all these updates I'm considering it. Maybe, in some future.

90/100 reviews: "DualSense takes Starfield to the next level—you really feel like you’re in space".

What? Did Microsoft remember they have a console called Xbox?

Eternal Sonata. Miss Sharma, please.

Keep the good news coming. That should be Asha's first goal: to reverse the negativity around Xbox with great pro-costumer moves like this.

Defender of the Crown - The Legend Returns, just what I needed.

Fantastic. Keep them coming.

We are so back!!

Naa, jokes aside, I hope Xbox is back on track on their strengths. This is one of them.

They were closing marketing and distribution in Latam, MENA, even Europe. So, I guess this will be available in US, and some territories here and there. Plus high price, I expect 5-8 millions units sold, lifetime.

Plan A: I'll keep rocking my Series X for years to come. Not interested in Windows.

“Reference experience”. REFERENCE. The experience they want to emulate in their new Windows UI. That’s what she’s telling here.

Game is great. We completed it in coop with two partners, now I’m ready for the DLCs and NG+.

At least, it was Braze, and not Brazzers.

I’m clueless about how to manage Xbox. I don’t have data to support my decisions.

Things I’d like to see (just dreaming):

• Keep supporting console users with releases, UI improvements, retail availability, and service accessibility.
• Free or low cost online.
• No more ads.
• Full cross saving across PlayStation, Steam, Nintendo.
• More control over Achievements: delete, export / import from other platforms, platinum style badge, better profiles and visibility.
• Return policy for never played games.
• Nihon Falcon games on Xbox. And more JPRGs in general.
• Better and real sales, off course.

Some reactions comes from mistrust, not malice. We can understand this lack of confidence for Microsoft, at this moment. That's Microsoft job to reverse.

More than "gamer proof" or sympathy on the social web, I'd like to see some real pro-costumer actions here.

"This is an Xbox", "This is how we play now". I remember, Nadella saying they would redefine what it means to be an "Xbox fan" .

They tried to force some ideas proved wrong, and damaged the brand, perhaps irreversibly.

If Sharma reverses some of this, it would be good for building confidence, instead of creating fake Xbox profiles pretending to be a veteran gamer.

At least, Xbox team could edit her profile directly in the database to made this lie more credible.

Nutella was angry because Bond couldn’t transform every device (PC, TV, and phones) into an “Xbox”, and they made fools of themselves with THIS IS AN XBOX campaign.

So, enter Shawarma, the Instacart, global platforms, and Copilot champion to achieve Nutella’s dream.

At this point, Phil is like the old guard, along names like Reggie, or Layden; from an era rapidly disappearing.

This is how they see us.

You have to be too naive to believe a single world of that statement. ***** is 100% gaslighting.

That’s sad. I enjoyed a lot their SotC remake last year. They made great things, as proven by this article. Great studio.

Man, that Castlevania trailer got me excited.

Nice. I hope my Series X keeps working, at least, for the next 7-8 years. I dislike Windows, not moving into that.

I subscribed Ultimate for many years, that ended last month. I paid for Essential for January to complete a couple of online multiplayer games. I want to avoid Game Pass from now on, and focus on my backlog.

I played it by curiosity, expecting something more mediocre than memorable. I was wrong, it was a fun and charming game.

What a let down. And a hard to believe excuse.

@Sindayl I see, my data was wrong.

@NickramCTID it works perfectly in console with a controller.

I think it was already running at 2160p 60fps HDR on Series X. It's a shame we don't know more details about what changed. Graphics quality and stability, I guess.

State of Decay 3. Just that. It's time.

I was playing Xbox. Gladly, I don't have to watch that insufferable show, and only read news about games that interested me, in this case two: Mega Man: Dual Override, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.

Maybe, I'll play them in 5 years after released, and sold for a rational price.

I had lots of fun with coop campaign. 100% achievements with our friends. I’m not a multiplayer guy, so I can’t say anything about it.

Nothing, as usual.

Nothing that I want to play, but I enjoyed the show. Solid C.

I'm really interested, just want to know the price for the 512GB model.
