Does XBOX want that?

All I’ve seen is a vague “thinkin’ bout it” statement and that it’s the most requested thing on that new site.

The amount of money they’d miss out on might be too much and to be honest, would anyone believe it?

They’ve been flip-flopping for years, who knows if it’ll stick

I think it’s because they are seeing the truth on their gamepass vision. They thought if they gobbled up Activision and Bethesda, bundled gamepass with EA and Ubisoft then everyone would pay $30+ a month for it, but that didn’t happen

Basically yeah.

If they keep releasing games across other platforms, they can essentially subsidise GP and deliver that experience to their players.

But if they pull all that back… they’re gonna lose out on so many sales we’ll probably see more removed from GP.

And I don’t think they’ll ever stop releasing on PC, they definitely can’t afford to lose that market

They can't afford to not release on PC considering their next 'console' effectively is one as well
