Microsoft has just put the April Xbox One software update in the bag and is preparing to roll out the preview of the one for May, but Xbox Division head honcho Phil Spencer is already looking to those coming beyond next month, and apparently he likes what he’s seeing, and he'd also like to put more smaller games on the platform to help with the wait between big releases.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
Fallout 76 players have dropped the big one on Phil Spencer in response to Xbox's closures of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks this week.
He said he treated the Xbox executive like the RPG's final boss
Somewhat fitting, Considering buying Bethesda was a complete selfish purchasing decision by himself just because he is a big Fallout fan he wanted to own the toy. Well quite frankly Microsoft should look at that and say you put your personal tastes in front of the business and it has backfired.
Todd Howard out hustled Phil. Howard is definitely in the top 3 all time hustlers in video game history.
Phil's game character properly looks like a villain too.

Keep the good news rolling
Speaking of June updates, I'd hope that they have a nice update to announce at E3 (goes live post presentation).
Update containing auto sign in, external HDD, 3D blu ray support, etc would be nice. :)
Glad to see these consistent monthly updates and support, hoping for DLNA, mp3, and external USB support. Anything more is just "gravy."
Monthly updates, secure network, dedicated servers for all, and a quick efficient interface, that is why I still prefer XBL, free games are really nice, but they shouldn't be in place what I am actually paying for.
Nice.
LOOKING FORWARD to testing them out ;) keep up the good work ms ... big thumbs UP!!!
