And if you're one of those salaried employees that get 'unlimited PTO' but are told that it's not a good time to use it because it's a very busy time or a big project is happening and can't you use it later, now is also a good time to take some time.

The primary concern for Xbox is managing the transition from a closed console based ecosystem to an open multi-device ecosystem.

Console sales have dropped considerably, PC Game Pass uptake has been slow, and cloud is still seen as an extension of existing play, rather than a primary entry point.
Microsoft confirms changes to Game Pass (Essential, Premium, Ultimate tiers) news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...

Ultimate priced at $29.99/month
