I personally loved having the avatars on the 360 dashboard, friends list, etc. Gave it personality and was fun! Now a days Xbox feels kinda soulless. Same could be said about the Switch’s vs Wii/U’s menus.

The new Avatar system will be sunset on the 9th of January 2025, and any purchases made for these avatars between the 1st of November til the removal of the Xbox Avatars app will be automatically refunded to your payment method early next year. The company will be keeping the good ol' Xbox 360-era Avatars (the ones that were developed by Rare and used in games like A Kingdom for Keflings!) around, however, and you'll still be able to make changes to that Avatar for the foreseeable future.

True... but also like... can we get it on PC ASAP! I still haven't played it and I've been dodging everything about this game until I can play it. 🤡
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth won't have DLC so team can get Part 3 out 'as soon as possible'
"I understand it completely, but I think, from my perspective, what the fans really want to see the most is not necessarily DLC. They want to see the third part of the series as quickly as possible."

Out of these 6 games. I see people consistently talk and praise Balatro. It probably should win but won't. My guess is Metaphor: ReFantazio wins.

If they are serious about being an ecosystem, I need EVERY game that comes to Xbox to be apart of Xbox Play Anywhere. 1st, 2nd, 3rd parties, indies, etc. If I purchase your game in the their store, I should be able to play it on any of these devices.
When it comes to #Xbox, it's not about exclusives - it's about ecosystems.

When it comes to Xbox, it’s not about exclusives – it’s about ecosystems
I've been watching certain corners of 'the internet' have a minor melt down over the past 24 hours. Why? Well, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer did a small interview tour, and reiterated what we've already known for the last year or more: There are 'no red lines' when it comes to bringing Xbox published games to rival platforms. While to me, it sounds like another way of saying 'Case by Case', people still seem to be a little upset. 'No red lines' doesn't mean everything will release elsewhere. It just means that…
