I know that the Xbox 360 days are never coming back because we've grown up, the industry has changed, our gaming sensibilities have evolved, but it's so awesome seeing glimmers of that Xbox and Xbox 360 challenger attitude returning. Also, the new green glass Xbox logo looks SICK.
I still can't get over how incredible it was to read Asha Sharma's 'We Are Xbox' memo. I may have hollered while reading it.
It's being amusing and frustrating being an Xbox fan lately because even though the Xbox Series X is an amazing console and it's the best platform/ecosystem out there, the brand kept stepping on rakes.
The biggest issue I had with Xbox was the vague messaging (even though I understood what it was saying, good riddance to 'This is an Xbox') and the lack of branding and brand presence. It just seemed to make Xbox feel tired even though actually owning an Xbox didn't feel that at all.
I really appreciate that Xbox made and published games that were cool experiments and striking artistic expression, but it's awesome playing games that are huge game of the year contenders like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
I think the exclusives genie is out of the bottle but I hope that we keep knocking out amazing games that can only be played on the Xbox ecosystem to keep growing the platform, letting me play more great video games.
I'm currently playing Crimson Desert and Resident Evil Village and as a dad with young kids, being able to play a game on whatever device is in front of me, whether it's my Xbox Series X, my ROG Xbox Ally X, or my gaming PC is FANTASTIC and I hope that Xbox markets that better. Like much better because it's changed gaming for me.
Game Pass is a great service and I'm glad the pricing was adjusted. It's back to being the best value in gaming.
I love the energy. Xbox has wind in its sails, and the vibe around Xbox is so refreshing and positive, and I can't wait to hear more about Project Helix!
It seems to be a bit of a ways off, but I'm excited to see how Xbox Series X and S consoles continue to be updated while we march towards Gen 10. It's going to be weird seeing 'Halo' on PlayStation and for the health of the platform and existence of the brand, I hope it's the last time we see Halo on PlayStation.
I'm glad to be here with you all! I'm glad to still be gaming 35 years later, and it's so nice to see Xbox getting back on its feet, brushing itself off, and drinking more water and making better life choices 🙂

You can’t fool me with your AI ads Microsoft!

Dropping the price of gamepass was a good start but I need to see more before I actually start believing what these execs tell us
I’ve never seen “Xbox” so many times in the same Title
Man the one x upgrade and then the hype to the series x was a great time I don’t care what the pundents say.
I think it’s a bit early to call this a “return to form”. They actually need to prove that they can execute and deliver successfully.
I don’t care if they end up becoming the market leader or not. I just want them to finally set a plan and commit to its execution. No more flip-flopping.
Day 1 fan of Xbox
I love to see long term Xbox fans. It’s like…you didn’t have to ride with them but you did and I love that. It’s cool to see those long term collections.
What are your favorite Xbox moments?
Wish I still kept my OG xbox… Still have my 360 (It’s the Slim because my OG 360 contracted the RROD) , XBONE, and both S and X
Ya’ll fold so easy, I’ll give them a solid year or 2 with strong releases before I believe they are course correcting 100%
Xbox has doesn’t shit yet to garner this sort of fanboyism what are you on about?
We believe you man. You didn’t have to dig around in your attic for proof.
I’m so confused as to why everyone is saying “Xbox has done it!” When they’ve just started… I remember 2019-2020 when people said the same about the Series S|X. I don’t wanna be negative, but it feels like the community is trying to grasp at any bit of good news they can.
There’s a lot on display here…
A couple of tweets and a price change and you start gushing?
So far so good with the new head of xbox, but i still need to see bigger changes. I remain hopeful for the future and project Helix.
I want to believe.
Omg you are right xbox been trying to figure out what it really is for 13 years! Its nice to see some good changes for once. But still skepticle.
I think your thinking is a little premature there bud.
My man!
Firmly being Xbox, what are you talking about haha. Is Microsoft astroturfing Reddit?
Really cool controller in the Rog Ally X pic
Same (been a fan since Xbox 360). I’ve played the most Xbox in the last few days than I have in the last few months (literally playing Halo Reach while typing this). Gave me that spark again.
Jumping the gun a bit here , i feel.
Where?
I’d say it’s a step in the right direction; not some major redemption, imo anyway
The packaging and unbox experience of the series x is sooooo much better than PlayStation.
Did Microsoft’s PR team write this thread or something? Because this is cringe worthy to read to be honest.
You guys said the same for Phil Spencer and look at what happened. What about wait and see before this hopium stuff?
Hold your horses. Nothing Has been done yet.
So firmly. Ever so firm.
Stop sucking corporations off, they don’t care about you.
