@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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
In September, I quit Game Pass to focus on my collection; but, my wife gave me an Ultimate 3-month code for birthday that I redeemed to play Visions of Mana.
When it expires, I’ll move to Essential while we complete various coop games with my brother. After that, I’ll stop spending money on Xbox.
What is happening is exclusively Microsoft's fault.
They have alienated their user base with strange marketing decisions ("This is an Xbox"), lack of transparency (we have no idea if it's a console, a PC, or a hybrid what's coming), inept competition (PlayStation wiped them out in EU, MENA, Latam), anti-consumer decisions (skyrocketing Game Pass fee, plus bundling with incoherent subscriptions, like Fornite Crew), and ridiculous prices that contradict their own words ($1000 Ally X).
Nice that MHS1 and 2 are coming to Xbox. And RS2 remake, as well. But, man. What a bad show. 0% passion, 100% marketing: even Suda telling "whishlist now!". Yuck!

Re: Xbox's Starfield Is Already One Of The Top Three Pre-Orders On PS5
90/100 reviews: "DualSense takes Starfield to the next level—you really feel like you’re in space".
Re: Xbox Series X|S Is Getting Its First Dashboard Update In Ages, Quick Resume Upgrade Included
What? Did Microsoft remember they have a console called Xbox?

Eternal Sonata. Miss Sharma, please.
Re: Xbox Announces Policy Changes To Treat Games More 'Fairly' On The Microsoft Store
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.
Re: Roundup: All The 20+ Xbox Reveals From The Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2026
Defender of the Crown - The Legend Returns, just what I needed.

Re: Xbox Says Backwards Compatibility Program Will Be Revived For 25th Anniversary

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

Re: Xbox Announces New 'Project Helix' Console, Says It Will Play PC Games
Plan A: I'll keep rocking my Series X for years to come. Not interested in Windows.
Re: Xbox Head Doubles Down On The Importance Of Console, Says It's A 'Reference Experience'
“Reference experience”. REFERENCE. The experience they want to emulate in their new Windows UI. That’s what she’s telling here.
Re: Deals: Dead Island 2 + All DLC Is Less Than $7 On Xbox Right Now
Game is great. We completed it in coop with two partners, now I’m ready for the DLCs and NG+.
Re: Xbox Issues Apology For Spamming Users With 'Braze' Test Messages
At least, it was Braze, and not Brazzers.
Re: Talking Point: You're The New Head Of Xbox, What Do You Do Now?
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):

Re: Xbox's 'Pivot Away From Console' Had Been Failing And Questioned At Microsoft, Claims Report
"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.
Re: Xbox CEO Shares Her Three Favourite Games Of All Time, Along With Her Gamertag
At least, Xbox team could edit her profile directly in the database to made this lie more credible.

This is how they see us.
Re: New Xbox Boss Makes Official Statement As She Takes Over From Phil Spencer
You have to be too naive to believe a single world of that statement. ***** is 100% gaslighting.
Re: Sony's Bluepoint Games Might Be Gone, But We'll Never Forget Their 'Impossible Port' For Xbox 360
That’s sad. I enjoyed a lot their SotC remake last year. They made great things, as proven by this article. Great studio.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From February 2026's State Of Play
Man, that Castlevania trailer got me excited.
Re: Microsoft Apparently 'Expects' The Xbox Series Era To Last, Despite Next-Gen Plans
Nice. I hope my Series X keeps working, at least, for the next 7-8 years. I dislike Windows, not moving into that.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Xbox Game Pass In 2026?
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.
Re: Opinion: This Xbox Game Studios Gem Is My Game Of The Year For 2025
I played it by curiosity, expecting something more mediocre than memorable. I was wrong, it was a fun and charming game.
Re: 'Xbox Wrapped' Ditched For 2025 Due To Ambitious 2026 Plans, Suggests Report
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.

Re: Talking Point: Four Years On, Did Halo Infinite Ever Live Up To Expectations?
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.
Re: Xbox Is Giving Away Free Gift Cards To Various Users This December
Nothing, as usual.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade November's Xbox Partner Preview Event?
Nothing that I want to play, but I enjoyed the show. Solid C.

Re: Microsoft Issues Statement Denying Target & Walmart Are Pulling Xbox Products
What is happening is exclusively Microsoft's fault.
They have alienated their user base with strange marketing decisions ("This is an Xbox"), lack of transparency (we have no idea if it's a console, a PC, or a hybrid what's coming), inept competition (PlayStation wiped them out in EU, MENA, Latam), anti-consumer decisions (skyrocketing Game Pass fee, plus bundling with incoherent subscriptions, like Fornite Crew), and ridiculous prices that contradict their own words ($1000 Ally X).
What a ***** show, man.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Major Overhaul With New Names, Games & Price Changes
One thing I'm sure of: my next system won't be Xbox (nor PlayStation, nor Nintendo, anyway).
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Major Overhaul With New Names, Games & Price Changes
In my country, Ultimate just double its price. What the heck.
Re: Microsoft Adds Xbox 360 Title To Game Pass Today (September 30)
Great game. Played with my wife in 360. I’m open to replaying it someday.
Sad it runs at 720p in Xbox Series. I understand it was never patched.
Re: Talking Point: So, Did You End Up Pre-Ordering The ROG Xbox Ally?
Naaaah, I’m already covered. And, I want to keep away from Windows.
Re: The Witcher 3 Is Getting Mod Support On Xbox, But It's Been Delayed To 2026

Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Quality Bump Shows 'Dramatic Improvement' Says Digital Foundry
@Coletrain mmm, I guess we will know soon.
Anyway, I've been using XBXPlay, occasionally it has some problems with the Microsoft login, but and it works very good in general.
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Quality Bump Shows 'Dramatic Improvement' Says Digital Foundry
I'd like to know if the official Xbox app in mobile can do remote play (local streaming) at 1080p now (instead of 720p).
For this reason, I've been using a 3rd party app, until now.
Re: These 13 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (September 17 - October 7)
