@InsiderGamingIG This is unacceptable. They also did this with Perfect Dark and Everwild and there’s no accountability.

State of Decay 3 Was Revealed Before Anyone Was Even Working On It

@Tusk_4Real If you like to play old games than Xbox is the one for you.

I worked my ASS OFF at work this month I earned a decent bonus
I haven't had a new home console since the Dreamcast in 1999
Wife surprised me with a brand new Series X (physical ofc)
I was *originally* going to get a PS5 Pro with my bonus
But Sony decided to raise their prices two days ago and I'm just not paying $900 for a PlayStation absolutely not, on principle
Sure, there's a few exclusive titles I want to play but I don't care that much tbh
Plus I like the Microsoft controllers significantly better even tho I have always been a PS person in the past
I really just wanted the ability to play Code Veronica, and the occasional AAA title that isn't available on Switch
So a week or so after the Sony accouncement I changed my mind and we agreed once we got a current gen console we would do a Series X
It's crazy to have something new for once we have stepped into the 21st century
PC Elitists- calm down. I don't want a gaming PC, I don't care that they're objectively better and more versatile don't be annoying please thanks
Now to play my 25 year old game with state if the art hardware!!

@Zee_Naught @Vuthakral Without Apple and Bungie we wouldn’t have Halo.

Yeah this stuff right here is why I can't stand the forced Halo positivity. People don't know this stuff is going on so I can't blame them, but it masks the reality of what's actually going on.
Not only is this harming the franchise but they've been abusing employees for years.

you can't take the Microsoft out of #Halo.

@BerserkApostle @HaloGaming08 If you are hoping Xbox will look into itself, it might be helpful to bring in a team from outside. This way, everyone can be fair and there are no hidden agendas.

@HaloGaming08 I hope Xbox investigate this... this is beyond disgusting

@Lord_PSMG Days Gone is one of the best games from last gen and a hard one to top.

@asha_shar PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions will be monumental.

Sunday, June 7 is locked in.
Xbox Games Showcase 2026 is almost here with a deep dive into Gears of War: E-Day Direct.
In my first month, I heard clearly that our community values Xbox FanFest. As part of the return of Xbox, we made the decision to bring it back to LA to recognize the players who’ve been with us over the years.
Looking forward to celebrating together!

👀Sony raised prices and Xbox quietly became the better deal
Sony just raised PS5 prices in select regions, and it instantly makes Xbox look like the better deal, even though Microsoft already bumped its own prices back in September.
The difference is timing. Xbox held steady this round while PlayStation got more expensive, and that shift lands hard in markets where gamers are already frustrated with rising hardware costs.
Sometimes the win is not about being cheaper forever, it is about not being the one raising prices today.

@TeamKillMedia That’s great! The only thing left is a visual bump. To smooth those rough edges, you could try using Sony’s new PSSR upscaler.

@WillJPowers The console version really needs a lower difficulty mode. Some boss fights are frustratingly difficult.

Open Letter to Microsoft Gaming Leadership: Save the Xbox Before It’s Too Late
@Xbox @AshaSharma @Microsoft @XboxP3 @sarahbond @PhilSpencer
Dear Xbox Leadership,
I’m writing this as a long-time fan who grew up with the Xbox brand — from the original Xbox to the peak of the 360 era, when exclusives like Halo, Gears of War, and Forza defined what a console could be. I believed in Xbox because it had identity, value, and a reason to own the hardware.
But in 2026, the reality is stark and painful. Xbox Series X|S has sold only ~34-35 million units cumulatively (per VGChartz and analyst estimates as of early 2026), trailing far behind PS5’s 92+ million installed base. Hardware revenue has declined for years straight: -32% YoY in Q2 FY26, -29% in Q1, -22% in Q4 2025 — a consistent bloodbath that shows no sign of stopping.
The multi-platform strategy (ports to PS5/Switch) was sold as a way to “maximize reach,” but the results tell a different story:
• Forza Horizon 5 on PS5: >5 million copies sold (Alinea Analytics, Jan 2026), generating >$300M extra revenue. The one clear win — but it’s an accessible, open-world racer that appeals broadly.
• Sea of Thieves on PS5: ~1-2.5 million copies (estimates 2024-2026), solid for multiplayer fun.
• Gears of War: Reloaded on PS5: only ~259k-572k copies (Alinea, 2025-2026 data). A core pillar IP — one of Xbox’s most iconic, critically acclaimed franchises — barely moved the needle on a platform with 90M+ users. Penetração <1%. Ridiculous.
• Other ports like Hi-Fi Rush (~137k), Hellblade 2 (~50k), Indiana Jones (~491k initial): flops or mediocre at best.
These numbers prove the point: the PS audience doesn’t crave most Xbox core IPs in mass scale. They buy when it’s casual/fun (Forza Horizon), not hardcore pillars (Gears, Halo-style shooters). By porting, Microsoft dilutes Xbox’s value — why buy a Series X|S when “exclusives” are on PS5? It turns Xbox into a second-class publisher feeding Sony’s ecosystem, making us feel like “vaquinha da Sony.”
Meanwhile, the portfolio is gold: Activision Blizzard (CoD, WoW, Diablo), Bethesda (Elder Scrolls, Fallout), Obsidian, Playground — enough firepower to dominate with true exclusives that sell hardware, build loyalty, and create cultural buzz. But instead of protecting these pillars (like Sony does with God of War, Last of Us), ports continue (Fable day-one multi in 2026, Starfield rumors).
Project Helix (next-gen, alpha kits 2027) as a hybrid PC/console? It sounds innovative, but it reinforces “Xbox everywhere” over “Xbox unique.” If the new console runs PC games natively, why own hardware at all? This risks accelerating irrelevance — Xbox One sold 59M (flop), this gen ~35M and dying, next gen launching ~2027. At this rate, it won’t even match Xbox One’s lifecycle. Two more generations? Doubtful — the brand could fade as a console entirely.
What Microsoft should do now:
• Stop ports of first-party pillars to rivals. Halo, Gears, Forza Motorsport, Fallout, Fable — keep them Xbox/PC exclusive (Play Anywhere is great; keep it).
• End Day One on Game Pass for major titles — let games sell full price first to build value and revenue direct, like Nintendo does.
• Invest in aggressive marketing: global campaigns, partnerships with YouTubers who love Xbox (not generalists), hype exclusives that justify the hardware.
• Focus on identity: rebuild the “Xbox for gamers” vibe of the 360 era — exclusives hardcore, innovation in hardware, not dilution.
• Use the portfolio wisely: make Activision/Bethesda/Obsidian games drive Xbox sales, not subsidize competitors.
If nothing changes, Xbox as a console brand won’t survive beyond the next cycle. It’s not too late — but time is running out. Listen to core fans. Return to roots. Give Xbox value again.
We want to believe. Prove us right.
A concerned Xbox fan since day one.
