Kingdom Hearts 4 being the 4th most viewed new Trailer from the recent showcases across all sources generating 57 Million views total is TOUGH 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Never underestimate the pull this franchise has

@FATE_NYC @JezCorden @PaulTassi @Forbes microsoft is completely unwilling to keep their games off steam. the logic isnt “Exclusives for me, but not for thee”, it's xbox has no real exclusives anyways, so they might as well go all out already. steam machine is a direct competitor to helix

@JezCorden @PaulTassi @Forbes “Exclusives for me, but not for thee” is the vibes I get from many of these articles. What works for their preferred platform shouldn’t even be attempted by others, is another. They want Xbox to thrive, but only if their brand gets the games as well.

Why Xbox Won’t Make ‘Elder Scrolls VI’ And ‘Fallout 5’ Exclusive via @forbes forbes.com/sites/paultass…

“Hello everyone, I’m back!” 10 years ago today, Hideo Kojima took the stage at the PlayStation E3 2016 press conference.

@bradleyellis87 Twilight Princess has no bad dungeons, no other 3D Zelda can say the same

People arguing about whether Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess is better and here I am just loving both.

@kBankzTMH @TheDonDolla91 @gameinformer you probably believed "just 4 games" too

@TheDonDolla91 @gameinformer I’ll like to believe xbox employees Not leakers

Xbox has doubled down on Gears of War: E-Day exclusivity, saying it was never discussed for PlayStation 5, despite some evidence pointing to otherwise. gameinformer.com/2026/06/11/xbo…

@JezCorden I truly hope xbox starts doing ads, that surely won't backfire at all

Matthew Ball clarified this article for the author, says it doesn't mean in-game ads. But I do know Xbox (and other platforms) think a lot about how "free to play" games are functioning on their platforms right now. PlayStation / Xbox have no paywall for Fortnite, etc. So every time they sell a console at a loss (and this is at least very true for Xbox right now), and all that user does is play Fortnite potentially and not spend $$ (that's a significant chunk actually), PlayStation/Xbox are effectively losing money with the large, hyper-casual audience. One reason they're limiting stock rn / increasing prices is to work against that hyper-casual user. The hardware only delivers margins if people actively invest in the platform. More and more users are bypassing the monetization layers completely. This is where ads come in, just like mobile gaming, really. Xbox Live Gold used to monetize Fortnite and other free games, but Microsoft dropped it cus it does feel like an anachronism. Either the hardware has to pay for itself at the point of purchase, or via post-purchase monetization. Ads can bridge the gap for users who don't spend money usually. It sucks but it's just math. Maybe they'll run some kinda model like... if you haven't purchased something in Fortnite for XYZ amount of days, you'll see ads when the game boots up, idk.

@xantar @theGermany @JezCorden that makes zero sense. movement speed is not a budget issue, its a genre issue. there was a clear struggle on whether Ghostwire should have been a horror game or action title behind the scenes, but it def wasnt a cash grab either way

@theGermany @JezCorden It was pretty for sure, but you could feel budget constraints with movement speed and progression. (make game feel longer) I would have loved to see what it could have been if Ikumi Nakamura had proper support and didn't quit mid production.

This is also true of a lot of Xbox's studio acquisitions during that era.

@JoshuaLaRosa @JezCorden Players actually supporting the games that do come over will have the biggest impact on whether more titles get ported after or not. If you want to see more Halo or Fable on PS you got to show up when they launch

Let's talk Xbox's margin crisis ... Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has been signalling "tough decisions" for a while, and has painted the picture of a division in crisis. How did we get here? What does the near future look like? Here's what I've learned so far talking to a variety of sources both current and former @ Xbox. windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/in… 👇

@aarongreenberg @tomwarren everyone expects the pr heads to lie, but damn you arent even trying to make it believable

@tomwarren Hey Tom, I can confirm this is not true. We just limited the knowledge of this news to a very small internal group. Intention was to share this news first with our players and everyone watching showcase.

@maximilian_ If you are going to normalize gen AI, don't start crying when SEGA is firing real artists down the line. the entire purpose is to replace jobs

Feeling better. Don’t want to bury the things I love under AI gravestones. Want to move forward to a spot where they understand our grievances so things can improve.

@realradec this is one of those that deserves the full Digital Eclipse effort, all the various Simpsons games in one box

Next year is the perfect time for to release a Simpson Hit & Run remaster since it’ll coincide with the movie Make it happen Disney!!

Spyro is back! Spyro A Realm Beyond coming in Spring 2027.

@realradec IT'S HAPPENING

MANIFESTING SPYRO 4 TODAY

@PaulTassi @JezCorden its most likely just going to be the helix launch games, and then another exclusivity rug pull 2 years after once the core xbox guys are all locked in the platform for that gen

@JezCorden like what are even talking about here? E-Day? Some Halo game four years away? Certainly not Elder Scrolls. So many things seem locked at this point

If everything is going to be case-by-case now it’s still muddling the whole concept of exclusivity and what fans are pushing for

@pushsquare good

@RedundantNeet @PaulTassi @Forbes god of war will make its money back, dont worry

@PaulTassi @Forbes I refuse to believe hiring Jack Quaid, flying him out to do cube mo cap is a good use a budget. Insane how we're seeing constant talk about games costing too much then something like this comes out
