@Ludens74781390 @kilya3232 @DeekeTweak Can you explain in detail exactly how Xbox is a “failed” business?

@kilya3232 @DeekeTweak Xbox is a failed business, it only exists because MS is willing to throw away billions to keep it alive. No one's gonna buy it and it can't exist on it's own.

@SwiftTurtle911 @vicious696 You can with a 3rd party extension like Parris mentioned, but ideally that shouldn’t be required.

@vicious696 I tried the Full Screen Experience a few months ago, and it was really easy to add non-xbox games, but yeah the covers they got were so ugly. I’m not even sure if we can add a good cover manually?

These updates are great but one quality of life feature I'd love to see for the Xbox App on PC and Handhelds would be to automatically import cover art for digital libraries (Steam, Epic, etc) Right now you can use a 3rd party app to update cover art manually but this should be a seamless process within the Xbox App

@BigPartyPack1 @Wario64 According to whom? The Ally X is quite a bit more powerful than the Steam Deck.

@Wario64 Still run slower fps compared to steam deck

@JezCorden Not sure if you’ve already looked into this, but is there any word on them making D4 and the expansions part of Play Anywhere? It honestly is keeping me from buying them. Adding @asha_shar for visibility

Some of the Abyss warlock skills in Diablo 4 are giving STRONG Orphea vibes, and by strong I mean they're basically 1:1 her ult from Heroes of the Storm. Therefor, I choose to take this as a tease that Blizzard is going to fully revive Heroes of the Storm. H O P I U M

@BarakaTheRapper @JezCorden Virtually everyone didn’t have internet access 10 years ago?

@JezCorden well, times are different now these days everyone has internet access and a PlayStation gamer probably gets online every day anyway

Did Sony just adopt the Xbox One DRM from 2012 that broke the brand? Lol.

@sergepepin5 @JezCorden It’s a monthly subscription, obviously it needs to periodically check in otherwise people could abuse it for free games.

@JezCorden do you know that gamepass use drm 🤔 how long can you use gamepass whitout internet 🤔 the answer is 30 day

@wottamentions @JezCorden Windows does not need the internet to use it, not sure where that’s coming from. Also Game Pass obviously needs to check in considering it’s a subscription otherwise you could sign up for a month, download a bunch, disconnect from the internet, cancel the sub, and have free games

@JezCorden On a serious note, it totally sucks, but doesn't Windows need the internet in order to use it? Doesn't Game Pass. It's not just a Sony issue sadly. It sucks either way.

@DinoMiljanic @RinoTheBouncer So it’s not essentially a QTE?

@FakeFrasierC @RinoTheBouncer Yep! You should play it 😉

Say what you want about Naughty Dog, but them dropping this level of fidelity AND fun on a base PS4 10 years ago, looking better than most games on a PS5 & PS5 Pro even is a stroke of genius!🚀

@geoffkeighley I like how you’re not using their new logo. Always have to mess something up with your Xbox posts.

Xbox has announced its new strategy. "The model that got us here won’t be the one that takes us forward." Changes will include: - Reevalution of exclusivity, windows and AI. - Microsoft Gaming back to Xbox - New north star: Daily active players.

@jcampanozzi87 @nib95_ Do you know how absolutely massive China is? “Too late” is laughable. Also, money talks at the end of the day.

@nib95_ I also think that the China approach is a little too late. Sony's been pretty much got a stronghold in that for a good while and it doesn't seem like their momentum is slowing down. Microsoft again is behind the eight ball on that

Microsoft shares new "We Are Xbox" message. "We will reevaluate our approach to exclusivity, windowing, and AI" "Deliver Project Helix to lead in performance and play your console and PC games" "Console is at the foundation, delivering a premium experience... cloud brings that to any device." "Our presence on PC isn’t strong enough." "Our new north star will be daily active players." "Grow and extend an enduring portfolio of franchises players love" "Expand into China, emerging markets, and mobile-first audiences " "Maintain and grow in live games" "Fix the fundamentals for players and partners" "Fortify Game Pass with clear differentiation and sustainable economics" "Return the business to durable growth with strong cost discipline" "Make cloud play feel native, fast, and reliable across TVs and low-cost devices" "Use M&A deliberately to accelerate growth where organic paths are too slow" --- Much of it sounds promising, especially if exclusives do come back. Though the foundation being console while simultaneously much more of the focus is PC, with a premium system that'll seemingly play PC games and her saying "Our presence on PC isn’t strong enough", seems at odds with each other for me personally, especially as a console first player. The mergers and acquisitions bit also makes me raise an eye brow. Enough with the consolidation already. Putting more focus on China is the right move in terms of future growth, and something PlayStation has already been heavily investing in, and that Xbox needs to get ahead of. news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/04/…

With XBOX’s Asha Sharma @asha_shar and Matt Booty @Xbox

@akalsi42 @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @asha_shar @Xbox Show us a picture of you now

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @asha_shar @Xbox Psychopath eyes. No wonder she is a killer CEO.

@Pat93823684 @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @asha_shar @Xbox How sad you are

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @asha_shar @Xbox How sad that you keep promoting and posing for xbox. Sony should cut you off we'll see if you will smile only with Xbox sales. Flop.

@oblivionbydfw @Chris_Dring Well they’re “pivoting” right now because they got a new CEO a couple months ago for the first time in 10+ years.

@Chris_Dring I’m tired of Xbox talking, pivoting, more talking, more pivoting, more talking. Why are they like this?

“Our new north star will be daily active players” Xbox has set a primary goal that will drive its strategy.

@Ravenzfan_8 @Wario64

@Wario64 Ooof not a single mention of “exclusives”…they’ll be in shambles no doubt

Matt and Asha - "We Are Xbox" internal letter news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/04/…

@TheBxRenegade @asha_shar There was a comma between exclusivity and windowing, as in 2 separate things. She didn’t say “exclusivity windowing”

@asha_shar "Exclusivity windowing" will not grow your platform. People are patient, they will just wait for the games to go to their platform. True Exclusivity is the only way to drive people to your platform. That and good Marketing.

@scifiguy_117 @ske7ch You are responsible for your emotions. Your desire to be constantly outraged in lieu of waiting for the full truth is something you can control.

@FakeFrasierC @ske7ch It’s not our fault. 343’s failed for over a decade, it’s understandable why we’re skeptical of their future stuff, confirmed or rumored. Btw, Rebs is quite legit.

exclusive report: someone told me the next Halo game is a pottery party game. (am I doing it right? 😅)

@scifiguy_117 @ske7ch You cry babies just want to be mad

@ske7ch Wow, now you're mocking fans. Even if Rebs has false information, he's still a fan, and you're insulting him in such a juvenile act. If he's proven right, this is gonna age like milk. Either way, 343 is ass, and doesn't understand Halo.

@_EmpressCortana @ske7ch You cry babies just want to be mad

@ske7ch Making fun of fans, on brand for 343!
