Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has shared his views on the gaming landscape, saying that the best way to innovate is to achieve better margins.
Xbox has been on a generational run of vastly disliked decisions this year, giving that original Xbox One reveal a run for its money. From mass layoffs that resulted in the cancellation of multiple projects, like Everwild and the Perfect Dark reboot, to third-party games like Romero Games' new game. Xbox prices have also gone up twice in 2025 alone (not just for consumers either; dev kits have been bumped up too). This was then followed by a big rework for Xbox Game Pass, which was a solid enough cover for a massive price hike for the subscription.
