Microsoft and, above all, Xbox are experiencing an unprecedented crisis following a large number of layoffs and… closure of some successful studios including Tango Gameworks. Now that “the rotten” is coming to the surface, various newspapers highlight strong discontent within the company and the need to quickly clarify on a series of points.
As reported by The Verge newspaper, there are several points on which the company now has need for clarity:
- What future will Xbox have? Will the company bet everything on Game Pass or will it continue to make consoles despite the less than exciting sales?
- Will Xbox exclusives continue to land on rival consoles? (There are even rumors of a Gears of War coming to PS5 and a possible porting of Hellblade II)
- Which games to include on Game Pass from launch? Will it be time to change strategy? (it is no coincidence that we reason about the possible non-inclusion of the next Call of Duty in Game Pass)
- And if you decide to increase the price of Game Pass (again).? We think about the possibility that this price increase, with consequent decrease in subscribers, has led to such a complex situation.
We’ll see what they will be Microsoft’s next moves: the situation, it is clear to everyone, will be anything but easy to manage.
