Xbox Might Be Cooked? Microsoft just hit fans with a massive 50% Game Pass price hike—while conveniently boasting record-high gaming revenue. It’s a wild tug-of-war: gamers are furious over cost creep and “enshittification,” yet Xbox profits keep climbing. Meanwhile, promises of shiny new hardware clash with a pivot to mobile and Windows-centric gaming, leaving the console’s future looking murkier than ever.
Between shuttered studios, a slide in console sales, and the shift toward services, you’ve got to wonder: is Microsoft quietly ditching dedicated boxes for an all-out software play? There’s still hope in killer first-party titles and a more gamer-friendly vision, but for now, Xbox’s strategy feels like chasing quarterly growth at the expense of the hardcore fanbase.
