Is Xbox Game Pass Running Out of Steam?

Following shocking job cuts at Xbox, Microsoft's ability to maintain both Xbox Game Pass and their massive acquisitions comes into question.

I think that one of Microsoft's biggest mistakes is their lack of marketing toward their games including Game Pass.
Netflix is the biggest subscription service at the moment and you still often see advertisements for Netflix.

On the other hand, MS seems incapable of paying some YouTube ads for Gamepass.

Jingsing14d ago

You're kidding right? Microsoft advertised the hell out of Game Pass and got nearly every game journalist to praise it. None of it was enough to convince most people.

Petebloodyonion14d ago

You're totally right!

I guess that must mean Sony is the biggest idiot here since they are running, Tv ads, Youtube ads, and movie ads for games like Final Fantasy 7, Spider-Man2, Tlou part2 remasters, etc when Gamespot, IGN, etc are always gushing over these games.
Whose idiotic idea was it to make sure that I know that the TLOU series is on HBO?
As a matter of fact, why does Disney run commercials on TV for the next big Disney movie?

MS will have to choose, Xbox hardware sales or Gamepass. With Gamepass being tied to Xbox hardware and the sales being so low they aren't going to get more subs unless they go cloud (Via dongles), on Nintendo or Sony machines. They can still make Xbox's maybe put timed GP games on it but they expect sales of GP when hardware sales are so low.

They've already chosen. They are going cloud streaming and mobile.

Loool, Angela looks like Brian "Q" Quinn from Impractical Jokers! 😂

The rest of them don't look so bad in desig , it just feels like overall the graphics could have been better for 2024. I'm not blown away, but it's alright.

Could have been worse right? OG Maria looks like Cameron Diaz lol

OtterX1h ago

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan3h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin1h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla2h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5231h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

excaliburps3h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla2h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin1h ago(Edited 58m ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb3h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing692h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!
