Take with a massive grain of salt from 4chan:

According to reputable sources, take this as
you will:

>Microsoft is still planning to shutter or downsize or merge more studios, specially the ones with not well known IP's, Microsoft is pivoting as a big AAA third party publisher, studios with AA or less known IPs most likely will be merged or axed

>Microsoft closing Arkane, Tango etc was most likely due to Activision purchase and they really really want to cut costs and maximize profits

>Microsoft is really really going full third party, this will be heavily pushed in 2025, and they're gonna hint at this at their upcoming Xbox Games Showcase in June

>Starfield will release for PlayStation 5 in Fall/Winter of this year along with the expansion

>Contraband seems to be canceled, if they don't show it this year, it's most likely canned

>Perfect Dark is in development hell too, most likely will be canceled as Contraband.

>Microsoft is planning to revamp Gamepass, they're planning to hike the price and/or include tiers, day one games and Activision Blizzard games will be on the most expensive tier

>Microsoft is planning to announce a White Digital Xbox Series X on their upcoming June show, and most likely will hint/announce an Xbox handheld as well

>Next Xbox consoles will be Xbox branded third party machines, you will be able to buy from Steam, Epic, etc and Microsoft Store, most likely will be a niche product like Steam machines.

>Phil Spencer is planning to retire this year or early next year

All very believable. And Phil Spencer is "retiring".

They all took their money and ran.

They never really cared about what would happen after, was always a show.

Dumb bots thought they actually gave shit abot xbox.
Except that dumbass hack lawyer still pushing Xbox propaganda. Guess he didn't get the memo or the pay cheque to begin with 🤣
