  • In an interview with GamesRadar, Phil Spencer confirmed that at this time there are no plans to bring Xbox Game Pass to closed platforms like PS5 and Switch as, quote, “those closed platforms don’t want something like Game Pass”. The focus will continue to be PC, web, mobile and later support for Xbox consoles

  • xero sKill @xerosKill1 - Movie quick fire!

Salty or sweet?

Drive-in or backyard projector?

Movie theater solo or with friends at home?

What’s worse? Movie tied to VG or VG tied to movie?

Live action or animated?

MCU/DCU: new heroes or more sequels?

Pixar or Dreamworks

More iconic Tristar or New line?

  • Todd Oxtra @toxtra - When do you expect we could see the first iteration of the Series S or X?  We saw the One S 3 years later and the One X 4 years later. Could the all digital Series X Be the first?
  • Delroy @jdelroyc - Is there an Xbox-related game or series that you’d consider your gaming “blind spot”? For me, it’s Banjo-Kazooie. I’ve dabbled in each of them, but never stick with them beyond a few hours at most.
