Is this real or shopped? Just wild to me, this whole situation.

Thanks, guys. I found the page.
Thank you.I believe this is what you are referring to? No idea how accurate this source is.

That is pretty much a given with the new iteration of the Series X to be discless. So assuming they are continuing with their hardware (narrator "They are") then they will only have discless consoles.
It is just a question of when
It is real.
But might just be an design change,
if you scroll you see Series X/S.
I have to say it is crazy that there is no "to be announced", it looks like this game is right now on game pass.
Well of course it's whatever Newell asks, but valuation matters because it would require a buyer to believe it's intrinsically worth that much. In terms of what the value would be if on the market to the highest bidder, Bloomberg estimated fairly recently they were worth around $8 billion. That seems a tad low to me, but overall in the ballpark of what I would imagine.
Imagine a whole kojima-like pre-credits for a business update video.
I still see all options for game pass.
Console, PC, Cloud could just be cleaning things up since Xbox One support is mostly done.
Curious timing though.

Yeah the Game Pass thing isn't new, they're just kinda hiding the $11 subscription because they obviously rather have people subscribe to Ultimate.
If you scroll down there should be a "see more plans" button.Join Xbox Game Pass: Discover Your Next Favorite Game | Xbox

now click more plans underneath when console is highlighted
And this would not be huge news? 🤔
Multi platform games case by case it means that every single game potentially could be available everywhere. I hope that the official message will be a lot more clear than that. If they say case by case they leave the door open for everything.
If this was about Sony or Nintendo we would have half the pages because the site would have crashed for 2 or 3 days lol
Nice. They need to add a "Are you sure you want to see more plans?" confirmation dialog.
I just checked using the Wayback Machine, the Game Pass page was changed when they changed Xbox Live Gold into Game Pass Core back on September 14th, so it's 5 months old by now.
I asked Claude AI to write a Kojima style trailer for the business update video.
I mean this is exactly what I'm thinking. Maybe why I'm not as worried as some others.
Of course I'm probably way off and the world ends next week.
You say all of this like it's a done deal. Whether these rumors are true or not, or to what extent - it's kind of amazing the amount of damage to a brand that can happen over some unconfirmed rumors and the response (or lack thereof) of the brand in question.
The only change I see them announcing for GamePass is GPU is now the only subscription that has day 1 releases, and eventually sunsetting the GP for console plan.
We likely get a good amount of talk next week on multi platform releases. But I don't think anything they say will appease fans. I can't imagine MS can outline a very clear "rule" for their exclusives. Sea of Thieves and HiFi Rush are very different types of games. And if they backtrack on Starfield going to PS, it's clear they may make these calls after seeing how it initially performs.
Maybe we get reassurance on future hardware. Maybe they get crazy and confirm 2026 is the target launch date and any decline in sales is offset by multi platform releases.
It'll be interesting, because I've seen so many people posting predictions and so many of them seem so wildly dumb. But hopefully we find out early next week

It's weird to see so many people say "it's nothing/probably just a few late ports" when Microsoft is literally changing/removing branding on Xbox-related things, has significantly reduced/all but eliminated their physical game departments, are holding a press conference to discuss future plans and still haven't refuted a single rumor (including the most dire.)
I'm not someone who thinks they're exiting the gaming hardware business altogether but come on, y'all. The suggestion that it's "just Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves and maybe Starfield or something" coming to other platforms feels steeped in denial.

+1 no one will care about it Hifi Rush on PS.
Starfield is a different story.
PlayStation fans only want marvel games now.
It's a full switcharoo
Espeically since they labeled it a business update. Who does that to just announce a few late ports
Pretty sure it's real, though dunno if it means anything or if people are just connecting any dot they see.
Maybe the future of their business is porting old games to Playstation.
/jk
I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for the wait is also so the execs can do media rounds for interviews before the event so there will be follow up articles ready.
Yeah there's no way that whatever gets announced is minor for Xbox, the amount of downplaying people are doing is honestly kinda funny
Maybe it's a rebrand? They think Xbox clearly doesn't have any cachet anymore / is too nerdy and they're unveiling a new name?
Probably not, but also *a* possibility.

I mean, that would be a loss for the PS players tho, the game is amazing.
I believe there are many marketing charts about brand power that show you that Xbox isn't a Nintendo or Playstation,
but it surely is something.
It would be a weird decision to dump the brand and start at zero,
unless the new brands are really just gamepass, Microsoft, Bethesda and Activision, and the likes.
I don't think anyone (or rather that many) will care about Starfield either. It's a late port of a game that reviewed well but ultimately disappointed. I don't think it'll do as well as maybe some people or MS would hope. That (star) ship has sailed.
I'm now of the belief that Starfield is not happening & the info spread around was pure fiction. I'll own the miss.
What am I missing here? What did it look like before?
Edit: I see now. Not familiar with Threads and didn't scroll along.
IMO: leave the hardware as Xbox but call everything else Microsoft Store/Pass/Account etc - it would be consistent with other companies.
