I wouldn't be surprised if he retires time to give someone else a chance. However, I'm not sure Xbox can be saved.

Well done for the person who nuked his camp it's well deserved for being a rotten liar. Gave me a good laugh 😂

Glad to see the gaming community staying together in there disgust.

Absolute joke that Phil and everyone at Xbox praised HI-FI Rush and then shut them down a year later. I will never trust a word from any of them again fed up with the lies and half truths.

They should have done the decent thing and let Tango go independent and keep the IP's so they could continue. We all know that Microsoft won't do anything with them like the many they have already left to die.

If they raise the price I won't bother with Game Pass I'm not bothered about COD. I must be one of the few people who have never played it.

Yet they shut down Tango that made different styles of games and offered more.

I'm fed up with this greed from Microsoft.

Looks like no studio is safe this will cause irreversible damage to the Xbox brand.

Honestly I now wish the ActiBlizz deal got blocked with what they are doing.

Microsoft suits will be using this to try and justify closing studios.

Must be horrible working in this industry where you job isn't secure even if you make a successful game.

Game Pass is stalling as the Xbox brand is now toxic with terrible decisions all the time. People won't be getting an Xbox as everything will be ported on PlayStation. Xbox already has super low market share and will get worse.

They shouldn't be praised for something that should have been there at day one. Fallout 4 has third person during conversations.

I always thought it strange that they forced first person when talking in Starfield. I do prefer playing third person and actually made me see more faults as facial expressions on the characters are like lifeless maniquins up close.

Many other basic features still missing in Starfield might be decent next generation.

Probably will never see the game if it's struggling that much. Never heard a good word about it and didn't EverWild have the same problem in development hell. Matt Booty has been absolutely useless for years and needs to go as he clearly can't manage or help these studios.

Really should have kept Tango that actually was capable of getting games out that people like and want to play.

They could have cut studios like this instead if they had to cut costs but really shouldn't buy or create studios just shut down.

@ZYDIO Unfortunately I have a large digital library on Xbox or I would swap. I'm now kind of stuck with it spent too much money to just leave and abandon my games now.

Terrible to close the studio down when RedFall flopped. It wasn't the developers fault that they were forced to make it instead of Prey 2. This never ends well or with a good game.

I thought that after RedFall the studio would be given a chance to redeem themselves.

Let's all join together and show our disgust with the Xbox brand. Phil and the cretins working at Xbox need to go and will leave a bitter taste no matter what is shown or said at the showcase.

Wow absolutely ridiculous after spending so much money to buy them. Time to boycott and many people will loose their job it's not as if Microsoft can't afford it.

The end of Xbox is getting closer with every brain dead decision. How I wish I could turn back time and choose another box.

All Xbox players need to stick together and show this incompetent management we won't stand for it. Tango made profitable games that sold and reviewed well I really can't understand the logic.

If the games on offer were sold at a sale price it would probably be worth it. Ridiculous trying to charge full price and call it a sale.

Very doubtful that people are being fooled honestly Microsoft should stop doing these types of sales as it's clearly a scam and doesn't make them look good.

Terrible game all around and should have been cancelled at Inception. I can't put all blame on Microsoft this time as it was well into development before they bought them. I believe Bethesda forced the studio to make it co op focused instead of the single player games they are known for. Should have let them make Prey 2 instead.

They should refund people who paid for the DLC but doubt many did as seems it isn't coming out and the game is forgotten and abandoned.

PlayStation are welcome to have a port of RedFail.

@Tonmoy The original Mass Effect games used Unreal these are comparable as same style and genre.

Starfield isn't nowhere near as good and will never be.

It still won't change the poor main story, loading screens and awful repetitive power temples. There is plenty more wrong I could mention with the game it's no wonder it got snubbed at the awards.

The game has very dated design due to the ancient Creation engine. They need to move to Unreal or make another engine.

Not sure even modders can save it.

I wouldn't mind if they did a handheld but not interested myself. It would actually be much cheaper if they did their own attachment for a phone.

They still must make a traditional console box as I prefer using a TV and those hybrid things aren't great docked and have lower specs. Also would need a decent battery as all of the ones out don't last long.

@FraserG It's a shame if they really can't port anything to the current store it's easy on PC and many old games still available on Steam etc.

I thought on Xbox they could just give notice and then just port.

Disgraceful this shutdown will make many games lost for good all while they talk about game preservation. They should just port everything to the current store it would make sense then.

They won't even do a decent sale so people are forced to pay full price.

Another poor decision from the management at Xbox

Should have never been ported to the PlayStation same with the other titles. These four games are just the start.

This strategy will backfire eventually while they make more money in the short term long term the Xbox platform will suffer and die. It's not like Xbox players will see any benefit as hell will freeze over before Sony or Nintendo port exclusives.

Phil is a puppet on a string controlled by the suits telling him what to do. He has no control.

Xbox finally will have more games this than Sony and Nintendo for once. Only taken years and spending billions

Well until all Xbox games get ported and become non exclusives. It's going to happen soon and it's time players were told the truth fed up with the mixed messages.

Hopefully means all the Activision games go onto Game Pass finally.

Having COD will get more subscriptions for Game Pass but not sure that it will shift consoles. Should be interesting to see the numbers in the coming months.

Fallout 4 and I'm surprised it's actually more smooth and stable only had to wait many years for a fix.

However, finding the game boring, dated and hate settlement building. Probably plays too similar to Starfield which I just find the game design dated. Will give it a few more hours.

@ZYDIO
Sorry but will Sony or Nintendo be porting over any of thier exclusives. We all know that the answer is no never.

Why should Xbox have no exclusives that's what ultimately sells a console for most people. Game Pass has probably saved them also.

If people can play every game on Playstation do you really think that won't effect sales even more. They already have a super low market share and will get lower with these awful choices.

Playstation shareholders must be laughing as they watch Microsoft destroy the Xbox brand without doing anything.

It won't be long until Xbox has no exclusive games and they start porting Gears, Halo and Starfield etc.

They don't care about loyal Xbox players anymore. There won't be any reason to buy an Xbox next generation if people can play everything on the PS6.

Terrible mis management and self sabotage it's no wonder console sales are poor and slowing down.

Stating the obvious they just spent 70 billion on one of the biggest gaming companies in the world. That's exactly why they bought them to increase revenue and profit.

Not surprised that hardware is failing as unfortunately people no longer have interest in the brand outside of us already heavily invested. Most will just buy PS6 next generation as just a matter of time until all Xbox exclusives get ported. Another huge mistake by the Microsoft management as means no reason to buy an Xbox.

Won't be long until more third parties don't bother to port games to Xbox and it's quite bad now.

Still long loading screens guess it's the crappy Creation engine as the loading screens are in Starfield also.

@Tonmoy I'm playing on Xbox so probably different on PC.

I've had numerous bugs but the constant crashing in Boston and save corruption bugs (lost a 40+ hour save) were the worse.

Had to give up and never completed a playthrough was hoping for a fix after many years.

What about the constant crashing in Boston and save corruption bugs. I experienced both of these and they are not in the patch notes.

Guess they did the bare minimum. I will have to try and keep my fingers crossed the game doesn't break again.

It turned up for free for me noticed the other day. However, still not interested as not my type of game at all.

@PhileasFragg
It doesn't change the fact that they don't make much money making tacky novelty trinkets that people are not interested in. Does nothing for brand awareness and certainly won't increase their market share. You won't see Sony or Nintendo doing pointless stuff like this.

I would rather Microsoft focus on making quality games and not tacky trinkets like this. The worse being the Xmas tree decoration.

I doubt these toasters sell that well hence the reduction in price. People probably buy and use it once as a novelty item just like the mini fridge.

All I'm bothered about is finally getting game breaking bugs fixed after many years of waiting. Hopefully they don't mess it up.

Fallout London sounds cool Bethesda should help them and if it's good enough make it a proper DLC expansion or game.This way people on console can play think it's only for PC due to the size.

Great and unique art style and I liked the Sci-fi story. However, does get boring due to the lack of gameplay and just walking from one character to another. Found myself almost falling asleep in parts due to the glacial pace.

Overall I did like it and if they did another game in this style needs some gameplay like puzzles. It would also have benefited from having choices with consequences like Telltale games.

They really shouldn't have bought all these studios and IP's when they didn't have the money to afford it. Many franchises will be dead for good now.
I won't be buying a single game from Embracer no matter how they try and change the name.

Embracer is a toxic company and should leave the gaming sector. Many people lost their jobs due to the greed of the management.

Just finished the SoLA DLC for Dead Island 2. Poor and short for the long wait. Will start Clash: Artifacts of chaos next.

Hoping that the Fallout 4 update next week finally fixes all the game breaking bugs so I can actually play it years after buying. Worth giving one last shot I suppose.

Hardly call it a sale when the games are full price. These are actually more expensive than getting it with a normal discount.

Another non sale!

@Divide_and_Wander
If it helps it only took me 4-5 hours to complete and get all achievements. Probably be able to do it an hour less rushing.
It's not a bad indie similar to Alice in Wonderland.

@Quickbeamx

Skull & Bones failure as I stated in my original comment I expect this game not to do any better. Everyone knows that Skull & Bones flopped plenty of reports so no need for sources.

Live service games fail all the time and servers get shut down again common knowledge no need for sources.

You're obviously are a Ubisoft fan no matter what you claim.

Another dead on arrival live service game by Ubisoft like the epic failure of Skull & Bones.

They will try and market this as AAAAA game and wonder why they get ridiculed.

Sounds great I've been looking forward to trying this on Game Pass. Really hope the gameplay clicks with me as the art style is amazing.

Not sure how this will turn out now that the original creative Tameem left the studio. Probably due to the infamous poor Microsoft management.

First game was a bit overrated just a walking simulator with a few puzzles and poor combat.

The studio will be closed down soon can't see EA supporting it when it's lost millions. They won't even make the Dead Space 2 remake after the last one did well.

Immortals simply wasn't good guaranteed like me many people just waiting for it to go on Game Pass. It's very competitive many games will fail.
