The Federal Trade Commission has blasted Apple and Google, suggesting the two companies' prohibitive mobile platform charges force developers into predatory revenue streams. This comes in a statement made regarding advertising middleman Tapjoy, against whom the FTC has filed a complaint over unfair practices.

-Gears 6,
-BG3 on gamepass (reason to why they won’t put a date)
-New acquisition
-mid Gen refresh console
-new controller
-GTA 6 will be on gamepass
-Elders scroll 6
GTA 6 launching on Gamepass would be cost ineffective for both Xbox and Rockstar. Big Budget third party don’t launch on Gamepass because they can’t be subsidized.
What would the cost of GT6 on gamepass be ? Over a billion would be the starting point is my guess
Microsoft would likely have to pay a lump sum based on projected sales, plus licensing and engagement fees to Rockstar. Additionally, GTA 6 uses a lot of licensed music, and some employees at Rockstar probably get bonuses based on sale figures.
Going by how many people viewed the news about a trailer it would cost even too much for MS. 2-3 million upfront would be my guess. Or they could simply do every person who downloads the GRA6 from GP Ms will pay them for a fully game sold share (usually console makers keep $10, retailer takes $10 and rest goes to publishers who than spreads it accordingly with bonuses and royalties)

Could we please stop with acquisitions. They can barely manage the talent they have. BG3 wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up on GP but it would cost MS a hefty amount
Dont blame him...all these acquisitions and yet theyve got little to nothing to show for it. Xbox gamers are starving for good console exclusives.
Lmao gta 6 won't be on gamepass. Elder scrolls 6 is YEARS away.
Don't think BG3 will be announced for gamepass, but it wouldn't shock me.
They can't sell the consoles they are already making , a new refresh of console would be silly.
Gta6 on gamepass is not gonna happen unless MS buys rockstar, they have said themselves they won't ever be putting new release games on gamepass because it makes no sense to them financially.
Anything can be on GamePass if it’s paid for. But as you mentioned I don’t think Take 2 would be willing to sell Rockstar or the GTA IP. If a gamepass deal occurs, I’d question if 2k would have a physical release on xbox at that point
Perfect Dark Gameplay
Fable Gameplay
Gears announcement
Hellblade 2 combat gameplay
Those are my top on wish to see.
Anything from other recently purchased studios wont feel as great knowing MS just took them away from other platforms forever.
What I hope not to see is more acqusitions...
I just want exclusives that will make me say damn I need to buy an Xbox for this.

Same but given they use the pass though functionality of the Quest 3 for the animus IIM but holding my breath but they could do without those parts
Well it already is out on Q2 which doesn't have MR (I don't think) so I doubt it can't be done.
The game plays great on the Quest 2 already. If anything, an updated version for the Quest 3 with improved graphics would be awesome.
It's quite impressive that they were able to make a complete Assassin's Creed game on the Quest2 hardware.
I would love to see a real Quest3 version of the game (with improved graphics).
The Quest 2 isn't all that weak, but yes, a Quest Pro or Quest 3 only upgraded version would be awesome.
I'd prefer a headset that isn't gimped by mobile processing like PSVR2 or Index.
