As we roll into the end of 2025, Xbox feels like it's in the weirdest place it's ever been.In this episode of Game Pass or Pass, we sit down and talk through the massive shift Microsoft made at the start of October 2025: the full Xbox Game Pass revamp with new tiers (Essential, Premium, and Ultimate), the 50% price hike on Ultimate to $29.99/month, the jump in PC Game Pass pricing, and the confusing split between day-one releases on Ultimate versus “within a year” access on other tiers. We break down what each tier actually gets you now, how that compares to just a couple of years ago, and why the current structure feels so wild and hard to message to normal players. We also dig into the broader context that got Xbox here: another major round of layoffs, around 9,000 jobs across Microsoft with thousands tied to Xbox; the closure of The Initiative; and the cancellation of high-profile first-party projects like Perfect Dark and Everwild, plus heavy cuts at Turn 10 and other studios. We talk honestly about how all of that undercuts the “we care about creators” messaging, and how it collides with Microsoft's push toward a more PC-centric, multi-platform strategy where Xbox games show up on PlayStation, Switch, and Windows as services rather than true console exclusives. From there, we zoom out and look at where Game Pass sits going into 2026:Is Ultimate still worth the money after the price hikes and restructuring? PC Gamer+1Does the new tier setup actually give players “more choice,” or just more confusion? What does Game Pass look like in a world where Microsoft is clearly prioritizing Windows, cloud, and publishing on competing hardware over building a strong console identity?We close the episode by looking across the aisle at PlayStation's future hardware plans. Sony's CFO is now on record saying PS5 is only “in the middle of its journey,” while leaks and reporting continue to point toward a PlayStation 6 sometime in the later part of this decade and a Switch-style PS6 handheld that's designed around backward compatibility with PS4 and PS5 titles. We talk about what a PS6 and PS6 handheld could mean for Xbox's next console, and whether Microsoft's current moves put them in a better place for that fight—or a weaker one. By the end of it, we're asking a simple question with a messy answer: Is Game Pass still the best deal in gaming, or is Microsoft burning a lot of goodwill right as the next generation starts to come into view?

We serveren je een nieuwe episode van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen uit de wereld die videogames heet. Altijd vergezeld van een fanatieke mening. We blijven immers Gamekings. Jasper is vandaag bij JJ aan de desk aangeschoven om een aantal topics te bespreken. Bijvoorbeeld de vele interessante uitspraken die de grote man achter GTA, Dan Houser, dit weekend deed in een drie uur durend interview. Verder kijken de twee naar de mensen van Call of Duty die vinden dat de prijsverhoging van Xbox Game Pass wel oké is. En er is de mededeling dat de schrijver van The Witcher een goede deal met CD Projekt Red heeft gesloten. Hij gaat helpen met de productie van de nieuwe Witcher-game. Deze onderwerpen en meer krijg je te zien en te horen in een extra lange Gamekings Daily van dinsdag 4 november 2025.Dan Houser openhartig over de productie van GTA en Red Dead Redemption 2Dan Houser geeft zelden tot nooit interviews. Gewoon niet zijn ding. De introverte Amerikaan werkt liever in stilte. Des te verrassender was het dat we dit weekend getrakteerd werden op een podcast van bijna drie uur. Een podcast waarin de grote man achter de GTA-franchise buitengewoon openhartig sprak over zijn werk bij Rockstar. Jasper en JJ beluisterende de podcast en bespreken hier de meest opvallende uitspraken over de productie van GTA IV, GTA V en Red Dead Redemption 2.Verhoging prijs Game Pass is goed voor makers Call of DutyAndere topics zijn de goedkeuring van de prijsverhoging van Game Pass door Treyarch. Dat zou goed zijn voor de verkoop. Plus daar is de blijdschap van Andrzey Sapkovski, de schrijver van de The Witcher boeken, over de deal die hij gesloten heeft met CD Projekt Red. Al deze onderwerpen worden besproken in deze video.

Microsoft reported an 18 percent year-over-year increase in overall revenue and a 12 percent rise in net income for Q1 2026, while Xbox hardware sales fell 29 percent and overall gaming revenue declined 2 percent. Xbox content and services revenue grew by 1 percent, driven by increased Xbox Game Pass engagement and strong third-party game performance. Microsoft raised prices for consoles, Game Pass, and development kits in response to market changes. The company projects continued overall revenue growth but expects a slight decline in Xbox content and services revenue due to fewer first-party releases. Next-generation Xbox hardware is in development in partnership with AMD.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

We're back! Dirac ART is available for Denon & Marantz. Harman's plans for Sound United. Xbox Game Pass big price hike. Apple TV drops the plus. The post AV Rant #988: No New News appeared first on AV Rant.
EA is being purchased by private investors in 2027, and will immediately be saddled with $20billion worth of debt when the deal closes. (EA made $7.5billion in revenue in 2025.) There is a vulnerability in all games using the Unity Runtime released since 2017, so all of those games must be patched before some systems will be allowed to run them. Microsoft has changed up the Xbox Game Pass system to incur higher prices, meaning it is no longer the best deal in gaming. Then we talk to Rob about Game Pass and why it might be a failing of Xbox leadership.
Will Pokemon save us from the Ai? Stormgate, you remember Stormgate right? Tim Morten had a rather honest rundown of where he feels the post-Blizzard design team went wrong and brings up the changing landscape of Venture Capital. The episode can't help but get real on the eve of Pokemon's release. Love em or hate em, Nintendo is about to drop another massive Poke'drama'pocalypse into the world as reviews come in around 8/10. Xbox continues its cursed run by talking about an upcoming “ad supported” tier of Xbox Game Pass. We're both playing Megabonk. Emails and more.
