Xbox Isn’t Building Just a Console—It’s Building a Platform That Follows You In this post, I’ll break down her statement line-by-line and explore what it means for the future of Xbox hardware, Game Pass, and the broader strategy shift from console to platform.

What Is the Future of Xbox, Anyway? With the announcement of the ROG Xbox Ally X, Microsoft has started to show its hand. And it’s not just about releasing a cool new handheld, it’s about where Xbox is headed next. And honestly…

What is the future of Xbox. It might be closer than you think

....date must be influencing content and conversations around the promise this game holds. I honestly hope it finds an audience but im just not seeing much organic excitement for this release

Im starting to think the number of influencers Bungie got in to shill for Marathon might do more harm than good in the long run. You cannot claim to be objective when youve been given advanced access and the fear that your access will be removed before the release....

Not quite a new Xbox console Where is Xbox going with this?

I've been really ill for the last few days which meant I had time to go back and watch season 1 of Andor again. Not only is it fantastic Star Wars the quality of the whole production makes it one of the best shows from the last few years period

Nice to see this FUD debunked. A Steam console would be interesting but as I said yesterday the margins on hardware are so thin that I cant see it makes business sense. Steamdeck works because you can sell it to PC gamers. It is not trying to replace their current rigs!

Why I’m Sticking with Xbox in the Next Generation Some fans feel uncertain about whether Xbox will remain a compelling choice in the next generation, but for me, the decision to stay within the ecosystem is clear.

Games going multiplatform isnt enough to make me give up on Xbox just yet! There are so many compelling reasons to stay with the platform.

Xbox Game Pass continues to drive growth According to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, the service saw over a 30% increase in PC subscribers, a significant achievement in what many thought was a plateaued market

So the bots just like random posts now?

As much fun as this would be im not sure I see the sense in Valve getting involved in the traditional PC hardware space. Margins must be razor thin. Steamdeck works cause it offers something different. Although Id love to see an easy to maintain, cost effective traditional form factor PC/Console

If you want more classic Halo this has just dropped. Genuinely impressive stuff

agreed but id argue that free to play and the necessary mechanics it has brought in have been more damaging to games than GP has right now. Both provide value to customers but at what cost to the overall health of the industry? Im happy to see a mix of funding models flourish in future

yep agreed. their lineup is strong. and game pass is super compelling.
