Sega is getting back into the f***ing game to save us YES
Xbox One 2 announcement tomorrow
Phil goes on stage
announces retirement
says Don Mattrick will take his place
Xbox will become an apple tv type streaming device
Da vision has been for Xbox that it’s a service not a box physically anymore. This is not a surprise.
Also, wouldn’t be surprising if they announce game pass is coming to other platforms but I could also see them keeping the best version on Xbox exclusively at least until they no longer sell physical boxes
the gaming forums rn are hilarious for posts like this unironically
no more exclusives is a fantastic thing
No it’s not lmao. Sony domination will be cancer for gaming

resetera kinda sucks but it’s one of the only place you can get good discussion on games
they’re super radlib tho
he was too ahead of his time
He saw the vision fr but too much of a goof ball to execute
TL:DR:
Exclusivity:
• 4 titles being made multiplatform. Phil not naming said games now as he wants the Devs to be able to do the announcements themselves. All games are over a year old though.
• Starfield and Indiana Jones are not among the 4.
• No promises beyond these 4 games.
• Phil believes exclusives are going to become less of a focus for the game industry in the next few years.
• Community driven games seem to be among the more likely games to go cross plat.
• 10 major releases coming in 2024.
• More to be shared at the June showcase.
1st Party games and Gamepass:
• Restating that all 1st party games will still always be on gamepass day one.
• ABK games coming to game pass. Diablo 4 coming March 28th
Crossplay/Crosssave:
• Believe crossplay/save are integral to xbox games.
• Want to work on "catching up" as more teams are integrated into xbox on this.
Hardware:
• "Hardware is where you get the most flagship seminal experience for xbox."
• "More creators building for xbox than ever before"
• Focused on making the largest technical leap for the next generation.
• Hardware announcement is coming this holiday season.
Game preservation:
• Phil looks to how windows handle compatibility.
• "Cloud saves, server life, and making sure they respect the investments people made in xbox is fundamental"
Going to go out on a limb and say the 4 games are SoT, Grounded, Pentiment, and Hifi-Rush.
As for the hardware announcement, it is like going to be the XSX refresh that was leaked back in September.
Nah that tweet sound so sarcastic lmaoooooo
I think this decision may have been made by someone higher than Phil Spencer
this screams Satya wanting a ROI for the shareholders asap
no more exclusives is a fantastic thing
If it means no more Xbox it’s a horrible thing. Competition is good. Look at all the f*** s*** Sony tries to get away with already. They’ll be even more inclined to with no competition
I agree with this person on Resetera
After 7th gen, consoles became more homogenous except Nintendo obviously
