They no longer stock the Xbox Series X|S properly outside of the US and no longer have sales.
It is no wonder that there are rumors of withdrawal in some regions. Of course, Microsoft may be trying to make up for it with the next generation consoles, but the customers who left here may not come back.
Starfield appears to have lost its creative freedom due to the contemporary political context, and the world is not as vibrant as it could be. I prefer savage worlds like Skyrim.
Since games like “Baldur's Gate 3” are not available in our country's stores, changing regions is a must. First of all, Microsoft should improve from there.
It would be a different story if a large number of players remained in the Gears 5 multiplayer. But the reality is that there are not that many people left in Gears of War PvP. I especially liked the multiplayer in Gears of War 3, but if it doesn't keep players for a long time, maybe it doesn't need to be implemented.
The five studios left in the Xbox One era - 343 Industries, Turn 10, Rare ltd, The Coalition, and Mojang - appear to be mostly non-functional except for Mojang.
I'll wait as long as it takes for the games I loved to be released...Banjo-Kazooie, Dance Central, Viva Pinata, PGR... These are my favorite franchises on Xbox.
They have spent the last ten years creating a work that focuses on something else rather than creating an interesting game. As a result, many IPs have collapsed.
I look forward to them making games again with exciting and engaging characters and worlds like they did on the Xbox 360.
They say they have researched the history of the area, but nothing about the scenery, the clothing, or the people's lifestyles seems very Japanese. I look forward to adventuring in UBISOFT's misguided perception of Japan as Mongolia or China.
Fable looks like a totally different game from the Lionhead Studios Fable I loved from the videos that are out now. I will play it because it is Game Pass, but I don't have high hopes for it.
Fable looks like a totally different game from the Lionhead Studios Halo that I loved, from the images that are out now. I will play it because it is Game Pass, but I don't have high hopes for it.
I don't think Microsoft has tried to make interesting games in the last decade or so, with several iconic franchises like Gears of War 4, Gears 5, Halo 5, and Halo Infinite being released with obviously low-quality scripts and unattractive characters.
If Xbox was as serious about their games as they were during the Xbox 360 era, I'd choose Xbox games no matter what platform I was on. But now Xbox Game Studios seems to be prioritizing other things rather than making interesting games.
I myself think it is good that the game is available on PS, but I think some happy news is needed for those who are fans of Xbox games and chose the Xbox console. Because it seems to me that Microsoft just abandoned the Xbox Series X|S.
I liked this kind of multiplayer as an added bonus to the single-player emphasis. No one wants it and soon there will be no one left. But it was a nice experience to be able to play multiplayer as an extension of my favorite game. (I'd love to play multiplayer in Farcry and Assasin's Creed someday too)
I don't mind having games on PlayStation, but I fear that this will cause Xbox to lose its hardware presence and third parties will stop releasing games on Xbox.
In fact, many games were not released in areas like Japan where Xbox has no presence.
There is no problem with multi-platforming. The problem is that if the console does not sell well, there is a possibility that game software will not be released. Xbox should try to prevent more software from being sold only on PS5/Nintendo Switch 2/Steam.
I keep Fortnite, CoD, MSFS2024, etc. on hand for quick play with friends. I have gotten into the habit of clearing a single-player title before moving on to the next game because it fills up so quickly, which is a good thing.
The fact that it's called Unreal Engine is a lie. The Creation Engine specializes in AI and other features needed for Bethesda RPGs, and it would be very difficult to achieve the same thing with the UE.
There is also the problem that it would require a completely different set of knowledge for the existing modders.
When will the problem with the Japanese Xbox One version of “Call of Duty: Ghost” not being able to launch online play be fixed? Square Enix has lost its publishing rights with abandon.
Microsoft has not put any effort into promoting its game software in the last few years. I think it is no wonder that this is not a hot topic and does not sell well.
This will not increase the fanbase, but only decrease it in the future.
I think I will continue to play Xbox games on Game Pass, but I don't know if I'll buy new Xbox console hardware, because I'll just get a PC. And MS wants that too.

Re: Bethesda Provides Update On Starfield DLC & Future Plans For Xbox RPG
Starfield appears to have lost its creative freedom due to the contemporary political context, and the world is not as vibrant as it could be.
I prefer savage worlds like Skyrim.
Re: Talking Point: Assassin's Creed Fans, Do You Think Feudal Japan Will Live Up To The Hype?
Every time a new video or information comes out, people talk about how far removed from Japanese history and culture it is!
This game is far less true to Japanese culture than fantasies like Ninja Gaiden or Naruto ...
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In April 2025
The Yakuza series has been missing every time and next month.
Re: Xbox Players Say They're Being 'Banned Indefinitely' For Using A VPN
Since games like “Baldur's Gate 3” are not available in our country's stores, changing regions is a must.
First of all, Microsoft should improve from there.
Re: Seven Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early March 2025
@dskatter Sure, you can buy the games you like.
But I feel Game Pass is becoming less and less appealing.
Re: Starfield Has Possibly The Best Single-Player Narrative Of All Time, Says God Of War Director
Unattractive characters. Constellation members who seem to be into cults. Game content that does not mesh well with all elements.
There are many aspects of the game that could be portrayed attractively, but somehow everything is clouded.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Be Disappointed If A 'Gears Collection' Didn't Include Multiplayer?
It would be a different story if a large number of players remained in the Gears 5 multiplayer.
But the reality is that there are not that many people left in Gears of War PvP.
I especially liked the multiplayer in Gears of War 3, but if it doesn't keep players for a long time, maybe it doesn't need to be implemented.
Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 4-18)
Have you added any more Japanese IPs to replace the Yakuza Series yet? Not a very good title right now to recommend a game pass to a friend...
Re: Ex-Platinum Dev Hideki Kamiya Still Wants To Make Scalebound For Xbox
I miss the days when I had to play Platinum Games' past titles in order to enjoy this game.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Sales Down Almost 50% As Fans Question Stock Levels In Certain Regions
Xbox Series X|S doesn't look like even Microsoft has been interested in selling it for the past few years.
Low inventory, no publicity, no buzz.
Re: Talking Point: With Fable Now Delayed, Which Xbox First-Party Game Launches This Fall?
The five studios left in the Xbox One era - 343 Industries, Turn 10, Rare ltd, The Coalition, and Mojang - appear to be mostly non-functional except for Mojang.
Only the acquired studios are functioning.
Re: Microsoft Announces Major GDC Presence With 'Xbox Expanding To Any Screen' In 2025
@Astig Probably underpowered, even if it is a cloud.
Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Xbox Series X|S is of lower quality than playing on a PC or iPad.
Re: Eight Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early March 2025
Please stop removing Yakuza all together.
At least one title at a time, please.
It is painful to play this large collection of titles all together.
Re: Reaction: Fable's Delay Is A Shame, But The New Gameplay Footage Looks Awesome
I have played the series with male characters and would like to play with men.
Re: Here's What's Included In The Xbox February 2025 Update
Add remote play to gather. I want to play local games with my friends.
Re: Xbox Says It's Got A 'Bunch Of Stuff' It Hasn't Even Announced Yet
I'll wait as long as it takes for the games I loved to be released...Banjo-Kazooie, Dance Central, Viva Pinata, PGR...
These are my favorite franchises on Xbox.
Re: Xbox Has Officially Delayed Fable Into 2026
From the information available at this point, it didn't look that interesting, so the postponement seems like good news.
Please change the main protagonist who is not so quick.
Re: Microsoft CEO Commits To Producing 'Great Quality Games' As Xbox Expands
They have spent the last ten years creating a work that focuses on something else rather than creating an interesting game.
As a result, many IPs have collapsed.
I look forward to them making games again with exciting and engaging characters and worlds like they did on the Xbox 360.
Re: Black Ops 6 Season 2 Reloaded Goes Live On Xbox Game Pass With A Huge TMNT Crossover
What happens to the headshot decision?
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Won't See Another Delay From Ubisoft, Says Report
They say they have researched the history of the area, but nothing about the scenery, the clothing, or the people's lifestyles seems very Japanese.
I look forward to adventuring in UBISOFT's misguided perception of Japan as Mongolia or China.

Re: After 27 Years, 'Fantasy Life' Developer Prepares To Publish First Ever Xbox Game
@darkswabber Director Hino has mentioned in the past that Fantasy Life is a continuation of TFLO's thoughts.
Re: Phil Spencer Says Xbox Is Done Trying To Convince PS5 & Switch Players To Move Over
I don't think Microsoft has tried to make interesting games in the last decade or so, with several iconic franchises like Gears of War 4, Gears 5, Halo 5, and Halo Infinite being released with obviously low-quality scripts and unattractive characters.
If Xbox was as serious about their games as they were during the Xbox 360 era, I'd choose Xbox games no matter what platform I was on. But now Xbox Game Studios seems to be prioritizing other things rather than making interesting games.
Re: After 27 Years, 'Fantasy Life' Developer Prepares To Publish First Ever Xbox Game
The game is the successor to True Fantasy Life Online, which was originally slated to be an Xbox exclusive.
Re: Halo TV Series Shows Up On Netflix, Fans Divided Over Potential Third Season
Season 1 was boring, but I enjoyed season 2. (I think only Halsey is good)
I was concerned that many of the added characters were unappealing.
Re: Halo PS5 Rumours Resurface Following Forza Horizon 5 Announcement
I myself think it is good that the game is available on PS, but I think some happy news is needed for those who are fans of Xbox games and chose the Xbox console.
Because it seems to me that Microsoft just abandoned the Xbox Series X|S.
Re: Avowed Has A 60FPS Mode On Xbox Series X, Confirms Obsidian
In the Asian region, the English version will be available in February and the translated version in March. Therefore, the Premium Edition is dead.
Re: Reaction: Resident Evil 9 Should Stay Far Away From Flops Like Re:Verse
I liked this kind of multiplayer as an added bonus to the single-player emphasis.
No one wants it and soon there will be no one left. But it was a nice experience to be able to play multiplayer as an extension of my favorite game. (I'd love to play multiplayer in Farcry and Assasin's Creed someday too)
Re: Talking Point: It's Been A Year Since Phil Spencer Announced The 'Xbox Business Update' Event
I don't mind having games on PlayStation, but I fear that this will cause Xbox to lose its hardware presence and third parties will stop releasing games on Xbox.
In fact, many games were not released in areas like Japan where Xbox has no presence.
Re: Xbox App Recommends Trying Out Delisted First-Party Game, Confusing Fans
I often get recommendations for games that are not sold in the area, which is typical of Xbox.
Re: Xbox Exec Showcases Incredible Avowed Advert In Times Square
The translated version was postponed.
The Pillars of Eternity series was never translated in the first place.
Do they intend to sell it in the Asian region?
Re: EA Says Need For Speed Is On Ice As Team Wraps Up Development On NFS Unbound
I like Need for Speed when I was rioting around town, tearing down buildings, and running from police officers.
Re: MultiVersus Is Shutting Down, Less Than A Year Since Its Relaunch
I did not play the beta test in Asia because I did not receive the test participation bonus.
Obviously, this was a strategic mistake.
Re: All New Xbox Games Coming Out In February 2025
Avowed's inclusion of Korean and Japanese was deferred.
We did not use Early Access, only paid for it:)
Re: BioWare's 'Core Team' Working On Mass Effect 5 While Some Devs Move To Other EA Studios
Will Sweet Baby Inc be writing the script again this time?
Re: Xbox On Keeping Games Off Other Platforms: 'That's Not A Path For Us'
There is no problem with multi-platforming. The problem is that if the console does not sell well, there is a possibility that game software will not be released.
Xbox should try to prevent more software from being sold only on PS5/Nintendo Switch 2/Steam.
Re: Reaction: Xbox's Killer January Showcase Proves That Its Games Pipeline Is Finally Ready
We've all noticed why this generation of AAA games are so boring.
For various reasons, veteran developers are not taking the leadership.
Re: Xbox Fans Hoping For 'Marcus Fenix Collection' News After Phil Spencer Revisits Gears Classics
When will the Japanese version of Gears of War: Ultimate Collection be available?
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Series X|S Owners, How's Your Storage Looking In 2025?
I keep Fortnite, CoD, MSFS2024, etc. on hand for quick play with friends.
I have gotten into the habit of clearing a single-player title before moving on to the next game because it fills up so quickly, which is a good thing.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Stock Drops To Surprisingly Low Levels At Multiple UK Retailers
They eliminated exclusive games and stopped promoting their consoles. There is no way the console will sell.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed Again, This Time To March 2025
The revelation that they are not covering Japan properly has caused a festive atmosphere in Japan.
Re: Ubisoft Showcases Overhauled Assassin's Creed Shadows Gameplay Ahead Of Xbox Release
They have recruited experts in China to look into Japan. It makes sense that the game does not look like Japan.
Re: Ubisoft Has Some Crazy 'Just For You' Deals Right Now On Xbox
I loved UBISOFT up until the Xbox 360 generation!
I'm so sorry...
I could barely tolerate it until Far Cry 4 or so.
Re: New Elder Scrolls 'Remake' Announcement Rumour Surfaces Online
The fact that it's called Unreal Engine is a lie.
The Creation Engine specializes in AI and other features needed for Bethesda RPGs, and it would be very difficult to achieve the same thing with the UE.
There is also the problem that it would require a completely different set of knowledge for the existing modders.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled On Xbox Game Pass?
Cross-play and online balancing is a must.
Mario Kart 8DX is not far behind!
If there is a sequel, I would like to see some of the Xbox owned Diddy Kong Racing characters and Banjo Pilot characters join the game!
Re: Four More Call Of Duty Titles Seemingly Being Prepared For Xbox Game Pass
When will the problem with the Japanese Xbox One version of “Call of Duty: Ghost” not being able to launch online play be fixed?
Square Enix has lost its publishing rights with abandon.
Re: Xbox Apparently Thinks Making Hellblade 2 Exclusive Was 'A Mistake'
Microsoft has not put any effort into promoting its game software in the last few years.
I think it is no wonder that this is not a hot topic and does not sell well.
Re: Microsoft CEO: 'We Are Redefining What It Means To Be An Xbox Fan'
This will not increase the fanbase, but only decrease it in the future.
I think I will continue to play Xbox games on Game Pass, but I don't know if I'll buy new Xbox console hardware, because I'll just get a PC.
And MS wants that too.
