Topic: The everything Xbox thread

Started Avowed tonight and I am loving it. Its everything that I wanted Skyrim to be. Its just shows what Bethesda can do Obsidian can do better.

Currently I am trying a dual wield sword an axe build with an arquebus as my second load out. This game is alot of fun and is gorgeous looking. I am really enjoying the senese of exploration and the combat is top notch. I will be putting alot of hours into this game.

Glad i have an Xbox while waiting for switch 2. Two point museum, Monster Hunter wilds, Path of exile 2 makes this an awesome gaming spring. 😊

It's kept me busy for sure. Lots of good gamepass stuff out lately. Plus April and may will be filled up waiting for switch 2.

• Atomfall( not sure if I'll be In on this yet, but I'll wait for reviews)
• South of midnight
• expedition 33 looks like a clear cut goty contender
• doom the dark ages.

I suppose I should thank Xbox for taking the heat off Nintendo regarding pricing.

Question now is what are this year's Xbox/Asus handheld, Xbox's new console in 2026, and the official Xbox handheld in 2027 going to cost?

$$$

The whole situation reminds me of IRS promos.

Out of curiosity, I looked at the list of best selling Xbox One games recently. I was stunned to find out it has half as many million+ selling games as the Gamecube. That's insane to me, especially since Xbox One far outsold the Gamecube. Gamepass is wild.

Even though the ROG Xbox Ally / ROG Xbox Ally X are still happening, reports are that development on the dedicated Xbox handheld have stalled out. Windows is so resource-heavy and poorly optimized for a handheld platform that MS are forced to solve that hurdle before proceeding with their own portable hardware.

Xbox hyping up their next generation of hardware.

Considering I've played all of two games on my Xbox Series X...#TooSoon.

Microsoft stop being irredeemably awful and destroying whatever good will you have left challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

@kkslider5552000 Yeah they seriously suck. Record profits and they shut down studios and lay off thousands. It's getting to the point where I seriously have to question the morals of Xbox fans for supporting the brand.

I love playing on my Xbox, but I dont think I'll be buying anymore games. Just play on GP until it gets to be too expensive then I'll drop the service.

Spencer, Bond, Greenberg and Booty need to go

It is sad to see the Xbox brand be squandered, but the one positive is it may lead to more games on Switch 2. If I looked into the future 15 years ago and saw Gears and Halo on a Nintendo console I wouldn’t believe it, but it seems likely now.

This would be the perfect time to bring back JSRF.

I would love to see XBOX and XBOX 360 games on Nintendo Switch Online. I play a lot of retro games, and I have my XBOX 360 still but I generally only have two active consoles at a time (currently Switch 2 and PS5), and playing older consoles is a rare brief novelty.

Well, another game bites the dust it seems

@Bigmanfan
XBOX is officially going 3rd party like SEGA? 😃

Just had to unsub from Gp unfortunately. $30/month is bonkers. Ill be playing some games in my BL now and buying some games on sale to start playing

Xbox hates you and wants to die, that's my theory at this point.

@NintendoByNature I downgrade myself from Ultimate to Premium. I couldn't justify paying $10 just for Ubisoft+, one I pretty much own everything they were adding to GP like the AC games and two after what Ubisoft did to XDefiant I wont support them. I will lost out on EA but after this week's news with them selling out to Saudi Arabia I wont support them either.

So by downgrading I will be saving myself $5 a month going from 19.99 to 14.99 and pretty much will still have what I had minus EA games.

Between this, the price hikes for consoles, and the newly announced $600/$1000 handhelds, I can only assume that Microsoft want to drive everyone to PC gaming as a cheaper alternative.
