Xbox’s latest moves feel like trying to sprint in flip-flops: they slapped a 50% hike on Game Pass and have gamers fuming, yet their gaming division is pulling in more cash than ever. At the same time, console sales are slipping, studios keep closing, and it looks like Microsoft’s shifting emphasis from dedicated hardware to Windows-centric, multi-platform services—mobile Xbox, anyone?
It’s a strange dance where “enshittification” of Game Pass meets record profits, leaving fans torn between hope and frustration. With whispers of new Xbox hardware and franchises like Forza still alive, the real question is whether Xbox can rise from these ashes or if this strategy blunder will finally spell its doom.
