August 28th 2024.
Xbox fans are expressing their dissatisfaction towards Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, as Microsoft continues its strategy of releasing games on multiple platforms. This news has left many players disappointed, especially those who have already invested in the Xbox Series X/S. The recent announcement that Indiana Jones And The Great Circle will also be available on PlayStation 5 just months after its release on Xbox has further solidified Microsoft's commitment to bringing its exclusives to other consoles.
While some people see this move as a positive for those who don't own an Xbox but still want to play popular titles such as Sea Of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush, it does raise the question of what sets Xbox apart from its competitors. This is the root of frustration for many dedicated Xbox players, as seen in the replies to a recent tweet from Phil Spencer.
On August 21, Spencer shared a photo from Gamescom with the developers of the upcoming game Mecha Break, captioned with excitement for bringing the game to Xbox players next year. However, the replies to this tweet were filled with angry Xbox fans, accusing Spencer of "destroying Xbox" and prioritizing other consoles over Xbox.
One commenter even went as far as to say they might as well sell their Xbox and switch to a PlayStation 5 since all the games are going there anyway. This negative backlash towards Xbox and Spencer is not surprising, especially as Microsoft focuses more on its Xbox Game Pass subscription service rather than the console itself.
However, the frustration towards Xbox may not solely be due to its multiplatform approach. Third-party games are also skipping the platform due to declining sales, and even some Xbox exclusives, like Black Myth: Wukong, have been delayed due to technical issues. This, combined with underwhelming exclusive titles like Starfield, has led to a growing amount of negativity towards Xbox.
One commenter pointed out the impact this negative outcry could have on Xbox as a whole, especially as Microsoft tries to sell its plans for the next generation. And with the recent news of Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, it seems the frustration towards Xbox may only continue.
But not all hope is lost for Xbox players. Mecha Break, a multiplayer mech game with a focus on customization, is set to release on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. We will have an exclusive interview with developers Amazing Seasun Games about the title on Metro GameCentral soon.
