At least Horizon pulls numbers on GP, and sold well on Steam, and even PS after 5 year late release. Motorsport 8 meanwhile flopped on Steam with less than 5K peak numbers and even GP users didn't bother logging in. Turn10 only works on Motorsport, if MS is cutting costs, Turn10 was easily one of the low hanging fruits to grab.

AI is one thing. On the other hand GP is clearly not bringing in enough subs, nor making any or enough money to keep funding these expensive first party games. Its not surprising MS forced Xbox to go third party, and now shutting many of their studios and games in dev hell. Almost 100Billion investment, pouring money in some games that's been in development for ages and nothing to show for it. Makes sense that they're delving into AI, cutting losses and trying to make xbox turn profit for a change. Downside we'll see more layoffs, 9000 was just for now. Same guy who leaked Xbox games going to PS long before everyone else, said there will be more layoffs as they integrate AI into more departments.

As a GaaS title, they should have done this sooner, though I doubt there'll be many takers as it's not on GP, maybe a small bump in overall player numbers. As for the rest, no point developing an Xbox port when the PC port will run on Xbox consoles in future. Performance will probably be shitty considering its single config unlike PC but at this point Xbox users should be grateful they're getting games when so many of their own got canceled.

Do the giant moon and nebula come out randomly?! Stepped out after a mission and there they were, taking up half the screen space, me and my cats had our jaws on the floor, time passes and they're no more the next night. P.S.: There's a small part of my brain that occasionally tells me to resign from work and just play the game whole day :/

Helldivers 2 coming to XSS and XSX. Don't think Sony sees Xbox as a competitor any more
-
+ The Initiative, first AAAA studio is shutdown without releasing a single game. Turn10 and Rare cut down by 50%. Zenimax new IP also canceled. Xbox collected all these studios like Pokémon, but have no clue how to manage them.

Love exploring the map, finding secret facilities. They provide some sweet a*s gear once connection is high enough.
-
We still need to build roads. Monorails are an addition between key terminals.
-
Was about to post the screens I took. After seeing these, I'll keep mine to myself
-
Just reached the first monorail. Taking my time with the game, completing all standard orders in every terminal, exploring the map, will easily breach 100hours to plat this.
-
That's nice of them to provide 60fps on PS release. Though, it's not for me, at least not paying full price for a 3 hours game.
-
Started for a bit, looking forward to logging out and starting my journey. Performance mode looks as good as quality but with 60fps on the Pro. And, it auto switches to 120hz on performance, gives a lil push with VRR. Though this doesn't add much, just a cherry on top. KojimaPro and Decima

Watched Until Dawn. Few very good scenes, but overall pretty mediocre. Surprised this even made money tbh.

Not really. "profits did not meet their expectations" doesn't mean flop. Simply means it was profitable but not upto to their expectations. Like I said SE always had inflated sales expectations. FF16 flopped on PC and especially Xbox, they're not even acknowledging the numbers. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/square-enix-says-sales-of-final-fantasy-7-rebirth-and-final-fantasy-16-did-not-meet-expectations

28 Weeks later itself is a sequel to 28 Days later. 28 Years later is the third film.
-
Went through the article and it's some analysts expectation of what the dev (partner) might ask. Larian's co-founder even seems bewildered at this document and asks if he can meet this "analyst". This again doesn't prove what xbox pays for putting games on GP and definitely doesn't prove that SE will "make a lot of money".
-
Pretty straightforward point really. But clearly some xcucks are incapable of replying with reason and logic.
-
This is utter crap. Microsoft doesn't publicly disclose the specific per-game payments for Xbox Game Pass. There is no guarantee that SE will "make a lot of money".
-
It's a good approach for Xbox imo, they get to boast access to both Xbox and PC titles. But why would any dev waste their time, money, resources and effort to make an Xbox version of their game, when the PC port would work on next gen Xbox console?? And we all know how well optimized most PC ports are, especially on low end to mid cards. The console will be one config, mostly average specced that can't be upgraded. They can have higher spec but that means higher price, in which case consumer could simply get a fully fledged PC. This approach sounds good on paper, but I have a bad feeling this will be Xbox's 5th consecutive failed generation. Hope I'm wrong.

SE has always had some inflated sales expectations, which is why Tomb Raider and Hitman are considered flops internally despite selling millions. FF7R released well into the PS4 generation, and FF16 released on early PS5 Gen as current gen only game. Considering this the attach rate is much higher. Sales may have dropped later owing to departure from classic FF gameplay, but 3.5Mil is still pretty good for first few days. Whats atrocious is it being total flop on PC with few hundred thousand sales, and the pathetic and abysmal Xbox sales figure of 22K in a week. I mean, SE could have had more sales on PS if they released a Pro patch On the bright side most Xbox gamers will be happy as the game comes to GP sooner. This will only exacerbate the issue of third party devs treating Xbox like third class platform.

FF16 sold approximately 22,000 copies on the Xbox platform in a week. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/06/final-fantasy-16-may-have-underperformed-on-ps5-but-its-doing-terribly-on-xbox
