Patch Notes

What Is Dead May Never Die

In a stunning tern from what many expected. Xbox is actually making changes and adjustments to the brand that are not related to just shoving copilot into everything. In fact most of these changes involve cutting things.

Firstly on the chopping block is the old logo. this to me does have echos of Apples Liquid Glass but hey its better than he old logo. This goes a long with the other rebranding of the rest of xbox back from Microsoft Gaming to Xbox.

Next up they also announced that the cost of GamePass Ultimiate will be dropping from $29.99 to $22.99 but will not be receiving new call of duty games going forward. There is also a tease of a new Xbox GamePass Start Edition in collaboration with Discord and I did also see rumors of a build your own GamePass subscription allowing you to ditch the elements of game pass your not interested in in order to save money.

So it seems like they are actually making a concerted effort here to bring Xbox back from the ashes which is good to see in my opinion, as much as I like things like the steamdeck and upcoming steam Machine, they are ultimately niche devices for nerds and while the steam deck does hover around Xbox Series X pricing, the Steam Machine is likely to cost upward of $800-$1000 this is leagues away from a Switch 2, Xbox Series X or a PS5 Slim in price so I am happy to see Xbox is not giving up just yet, this is key too that they are making these changes now to garner favor with gamers as the Series X released in 2021 meaning 2027 will probably see the ramp up to a new Xbox Console(s) and I have a feeling that if it does not go well then it will be the last Xbox so it is key that this console starts on a good foundation.
