Xbox is changing and it’s disrupting everyone

It’s been six months since Microsoft aired its bizarre “Business Update” podcast on Xbox, during which the company first announced that four Xbox-exclusive games were coming to PS5. In the months since, Xbox fans have worried that Microsoft was throwing in the towel on the brand — and any bright future for Xbox hardware.

Microsoft has done little to allay his concerns. After spending a lot of money on Activision Blizzard, the company is now increasingly looking for revenue opportunities in the video game sector, well beyond the Xbox console.

It all started with that infamous Xbox podcast. Oddly enough, Microsoft didn’t mention which four games were coming to PS5 during the podcast, leaving an air of mystery and confusion until Rush to high fidelity, Pently, Sea of ​​ThievesAnd Based were all confirmed less than a week later. At the time, Xbox chief Phil Spencer said he left it up to individual studios to make announcements, but then the head of Xbox Studios Matt Booty made the announcement in a blog post.
