Xbox Series X

3日, 5時間 - Xbox's "reset" sees the first-party powerhouse pivoting towards a franchise-focused future. But what might that look like? IGN's Ryan McCaffrey lays out a plan for how we might see a whole lot more Halo, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls in the coming years.

1週間 - The axe has fallen at Xbox, and while the result is thousands more job losses, the silver lining is that no studios are being closed. We try to figure out who might've bought Undead Labs (State of Decay 3) and Ninja Theory (Senua), as well as what the now-independent Double Fine might be working on. Plus: Game Pass's failures and how it might evolve moving forward, and more!00:00:00 - Intro & Xbox Layoffs00:20:52 - Future of State of Decay 300:30:21 - Future of Ninja Theory00:35:39 - Future of Double Fine00:41:56 - Future of Bethesda00:58:39 - Physical Discs & Project Helix01:11:30 - Future of Game Pass01:30:05 - Outro#xbox #gaming #microsoft

1週間, 2日 - In today's Daily Fix:Xbox boss Asha Sharma sent an email to employees announcing a 'significant' restructuring of the company, citing losing "64 cents for every dollar invested" in their studios in an average year. Unfortunately 3,200 employees will be laid off, starting with 1,600 today and the rest to happen throughout Fiscal year 2027. Microsoft-owned studioss Double Fine and Compulsion Games will become independent studios, while others such as Ninja Theory and Undead Labs "have entered terms to join new ownership." Arkane Studios' management will enter into consultation with its workers council on next steps. No publicly-announced games are said to be cancelled as part of the reductions in workforce. In other news, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has been blocked in 132 countries, likely due to Sony's PSN requirements, and PSN being blocked in specific territories. And finally, DC Studios' Supergirl has crossed $100 million at the global box office in its second week, and will likely not recoup its reported $170 million production budget (which does not include the massive marketing spend).

1年, 1ヶ月 - In today's Daily Fix:A report from Windows Central claims that Microsoft might be rethinking its handheld strategy and pulling back development on a first-party Xbox handheld. Instead, they will focus on partnerships with third-party hardware manufacturers (like ASUS) to make an Xbox-licensed handheld. With the Xbox Showcase slated for next Sunday, we might learn more soon. In other news, Ubisoft might be teasing something related to Splinter Cell, after tweeting an image from the third game, Chaos Theory. Back in 2021, Ubisoft confirmed a remake of the original game was coming, but they have not said anything since. The last Splinter Cell game, Blacklist, was released back in 2013. And finally, speaking of remakes, the rumored Persona 4 remake might not bring back the original English voice cast, but no official statement has been made.And don't forget to buy tickets to IGN Live happening in Downtown Los Angeles next week, June 7-8.

1年, 3ヶ月 - In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft may have accidentally leaked a mockup of how the Steam UI would look on Xbox. Via the Verge, the image was taken down soon after, but this adds more speculation to Microsoft's future Xbox plans and possible integration with Steam, Epic Games Store, and more. Xbox head Phil Spencer has already voiced support for letting gamers play their Steam library on Xbox consoles. In other news, Assassin's Creed Shadows is topping the charts after just one day since being released. According to Ubisoft, the game has seen 1 million players across all available platforms. Of course, sales data is not yet available, but the game is also riding high off strong critic and user reviews. And finally, co-op hit Split Fiction's success is catching the eye of Hollywood, and now a package is being put together to shop an adaptation to the big studios.

1年, 8ヶ月 - In today's Daily Fix: Xbox's Phil Spencer isn't sold on making a mid-generation "pro" version of the Xbox Series X. Speaking with Rolling Stone, he doesn't think the upgrades would be worth it, especially for the price you'd pay. Currently the PS5 Pro is the most powerful gaming console available, but you're paying an eye-watering $700 for it. However, Xbox is working on a handheld, but Spencer also said to not expect one of those for a few years. In other news, Blizzard is staffing up for what appears to be an open-world shooter that could be set in the StarCraft universe. If you're old enough to remember, this isn't the first StarCraft shooter Blizzard has attempted: StarCraft Ghost was stuck in development hell and then eventually cancelled back in the PS2/GameCube era. And finally, Obsidian's highly-anticipated RPG, Avowed, can be purchased for the low low price of around 5 World of Warcraft tokens. Each token is worth about 1.3 million in in-game gold, so the base version of Avowed will set you back 6.5 million gold.
