Xbox’s Bleak Landscape: Troubling Claims Surface

Is Microsoft Preparing a Third-Party Push for Xbox?

Amid recent reports that Starfield and Indiana Jones may be coming to PlayStation 5, speculation is mounting about the future of Xbox. Some believe this move could spell the end of Xbox as we know it, while others see it as a natural progression. Claims made on the Gamers Council podcast suggest a bleak outlook for the Xbox ecosystem, with suggestions that Call of Duty may not be coming to Game Pass and that the service itself is unsustainable. These claims are rooted in the hefty investment Microsoft made in Activision Blizzard and the need for a high return on investment. If Microsoft continues to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire games for Game Pass, it may struggle to offset the cost and maintain profitability.
