In 2024, when a new game is announced, you can usually count on it to be released on PC, PlayStation, and possibly Switch. But it’s become a bit less of a guarantee that new games or ports will land on Xbox consoles, and it seems Microsoft is aware of this and is asking devs why…

    From the beginning I was saying the Series S is a boat anchor that needs to be cut loose. The writing was on the wall when it couldn’t even run last gen Xbox One X enhanced games because of the memory bottleneck.

    Add to that the bottomless pit of Game Pass and no way to guarantee a steady revenue stream on the platform and the only wonder isn’t “why aren’t they developing?” but more “why is ANYONE developing?”

    Things are going to get really interesting if the PS5 Pro supercedes the Xbox Series X the same way the Xbox One X did all others in the last generation.
