Jason Schreier: NENHUM estúdio Xbox recebeu ordem de fechamento Jason falou que todos esses jornalistas fazendo postagens que os times estão sendo fechados estão errados e só tá servindo pra criar estresse dentro dos funcionários do Xbox. A Asha tá simplesmente re-avaliando todos os estúdios e tentando ver um caminho a frente pra nova direção que é focada em criar jogos de impacto, mas NENHUM estúdio recebeu ordem de fechamento ainda.

@geoffkeighley Onimusha, Gears and Fable

What would you say are your 3 most anticipated games right now?

@NextGenPlayer @xboxBG It only makes sense for their games to be multiplatform if they have zero ambition, which is not the case. A major reason why they find themselves in the situation they’re in is because they abandoned exclusives, which made them unstable.

Yep, exclusives are good for Nintendo and Sony because they have strong, stable platform-first businesses. Xbox, which purchased a dozen studios and two large publisher is now a publisher-first business, platform secondary. And therefore it makes sense for their games to be multiplatform. Microsoft agrees, that’s why at their recent Showcase they showed PS5 logos on Halo, Fable, State of Decay 3, Hellblade, Spyro, Minecraft Dungeons 2, DOOM DLC, Fallout 76 DLC, Grounded 2, Sea of Theives DLC, Flight Simulator DLC, Elder Scrolls Online DLC, and Age of Empires IV DLC. 13 Xbox games with PS5 logos. 2 exclusives. That tells you something important.

Yup, this is the same person in these two different posts. You can’t make this up.

@DestinLegarie @MrboomstickXL EVERYTHING! 😂

Polygon really hates Microsoft & Xbox eh?

@DaReelSebas This has nothing to do with Gears.

Studios are closing, people losing their livelihoods.. Xbox fanboys : I don’t care as long as Gears is still exclusive!!

@NextGenPlayer Xbox will be poorer in long run without healthy player base in its own ecosystem, losing full sales and GP revenue on other platforms. Your view results in less comeptition, speeds up console market consolidation, and gives Sony too much power, making industry worse for everyone.

Multiplatform would be better for longevity and health of The Coalition and InXile More players, more sales/revenue, strengthen & bring the IP to new players, stronger retail presence, larger global reach, extra marketing from PlayStation

@Andy_VGC They should almost all just band together and create a new company.

Multiple Xbox studios are in negotiations to go independent in an attempt to avoid closure, including Compulsion Games, Double Fine, and Ninja Theory, sources say. videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-stud…

@JezCorden I love they’re bringing back exclusives, reduced the price of GP, releasing a bunch of quality games and delivering frequent UI updates. But studio closures and uncertainty about what Xbox will look like in coming years casts a big shadow over what would otherwise be a great year

how do you feel being an Xbox customer/fan in 2026?

@MariusPsBanner @Chris_J_Harding Port begging back in full effect.

Hunter never stop to amaze me ahahahaah

@Ahmed_Qaraxy @NextGenPlayer Yeah he has been off about several things in the past like rockstar games remasters and release windows, which he had to walk back as just educated guesses.

@NextGenPlayer @MetalSlimeX No he isn't. 400m according to a guy who didn't know Gears was going to be exclusive but then knows how much it cost. It's just a rage bait story that fits the current conversation online. And according to a guy who has gazillion sources in industry yet not report budgets

Tom Henderson: Gears of War: E-Day has a $400+ million budget “They should have put Gears on PlayStation 5, they should have put everything on the PS5” ▶️ youtube.com/watch?v=ROr_KI…

With Guillermo del Toro’s recommendation, I started watching Apple TV+‘s “Widow’s Bay.” It’s so incredibly good that I couldn’t stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. It’s packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayor’s tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from “Jaws.” The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of “Twin Peaks.” It’s been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I can’t wait for next Wednesday’s final episode.

@N3XT_G3N You want to pay for online access?

Bro Xbox "fans" want everything for free 😂

@NextGenPlayer Let’s say it ends up being confirmed, considering Soiderman 2 cost over 300M for less than half the years of development. So what?

@MetalSlimeX Skepticism is healthy, but $400M has to be accurate, if not more. Do basic napkin math. Watch this Jason video: youtu.be/nvhmBqRjtBQ?si…

@NextGenPlayer “I heard” is not enough.

@MetalSlimeX Tom Henderson is very reputable.

@SteinKardinal86 Xbox. Play anywhere, quick resume, revelation confirmed to release day one on the platform. Easy choice.

Guys I still haven’t played #FFVIIRebirth 😱 I know, I know please don’t kill me just yet 🙏 Where should I get it on? #PC / #Playstation5Pro / #XboxSeriesX or #Switch2

@Upperthighs Yeah to be honest as with many of these older titles a lot of the love is nostalgia-based. Not exclusively by any means, I still think it’s a great game regardless, but it brings back those magical memories of adolescence that are tough to beat!

@MetalSlimeX Ive tried to enjoy it probably 3 or 4 times and for whatever reason I cant. I still plan to try again this year.

FFX is the worst 3D final fantasy for my taste 🤷‍♂️

@NextGenPlayer You’re all just running wild with speculation as fact in typical fashion.

@MetalSlimeX While it is “trust me bro”, Gears 5 is a 2019 game, 7 years ago. It is so easy to see $400M could be accurate, and given the timeline I’m surprised it’s only $400M and not higher.

@Upperthighs It’s one of my favourites in the series but I respect the take 😂

@MetalSlimeX I may literally be the only one who feels this way 😬

@stormfall33 One trilogy per lifetime goals.

I mean, I am all for giving devs time and freedom but MAYBE 15+ years between releases of your most beloved and profitable franchises is too much? .. MAYBE?

@BitterJeweler @Big__TeeJ True but most people wouldn’t be interested in it if it was just Steam. It’s the total package that makes it enticing.

@Big__TeeJ Right. Which still makes Steam the selling point of an xBox. It’s not about what the core “console” offers. I am a PS main, got my first xBox (sx). My only interest in getting “Helix” is if it has Steam. I don’t and won’t have Gamepass. The selling point is PC games.

If you're upset about the change with Xbox in regards to PS... ultimately it's Sony who is responsible for Xbox making certain titles exclusives again. Microsoft originally had a great solution to give their hardware customers a massive reason to buy their next console... making it a hybrid that runs PC storefronts. In doing so, they would have unlocked PlayStation’s PC ports for Xbox players to enjoy directly on Microsoft hardware. They would still have to wait the 1-2 years for them to come to PC but they would eventually have access. Sony saw this coming and knew it would be an incredible incentive for people to jump over to Project Helix. Since they couldn't control their games running on a competitor's box through Steam, they abruptly pulled their single-player games from PC altogether. They effectively took their ball and went home. With that PS on PC loophole slammed shut, Xbox leadership was left with no choice but to find another way to entice players to buy into the hardware. If you're mad about Xbox pulling titles off PS... you need to direct that frustration at Sony. They are the ones who killed the more open access Xbox was looking to implement.
