On Today's Ubisoft earnings call, Ubisoft CFO announced that Activision-Blizzard games would be coming to Ubisoft+ between January and March of 2025 (but only via the cloud). We've still got plenty of questions about what this means for Amazon Luna, GeForce NOW and Xcloud.
Ubisoft has announced Might & Magic Fates, a blockchain-infused free-to-play card game that's launching on mobile devices at some point in the future.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer suggest Xbox Game Pass is no longer as important to the business as it once was.
Truth is that it was always sort of a lie. You were getting a couple of “day one” per year but they had trained people to think they were going to get all games day one.
That is just false. It was never even eluded to that any games other than first party would be day one. Also it’s only April and we’ve already got more than “a couple” day one games.
Cmon guy. You really believed all games were coming day one when they've always said 1st party only?
They did it really carefully, i didnt say they ever said “all games are day one” but they created an impression like that was the case. For instance nowhere did people actually see a list of day one games in articles or from MS’s mouth, but they kept saying “all first party” as if the number of day one games was something amazing. Truth is that they were getting a couple of games per year max on average. (Not sure what its like now)

Again, not sure what you got this year. But honestly is it even remotely worth it? Also, they get “day ones” on PSPlus as well, just not first party, and they are not paying $20/month for it.
It's not like they could do any differently, it takes a lot of money to keep the Gamepass monster fed, to put the majority of games on there day one is just going to drain too much money. They may have considered it at one point to try and kill off Playstation/Nintendo, but it's not a viable long-term strategy.
Codebros Studio comes from Thessaloniki Greece and presents us with their new horror game Unmourned which you can check out now on Steam.
Yeah. There are more questions for sure. Also, why is Call of duty on Xcloud? I think Microsoft paid for the rights to stream just COD specifically, not other Activision games. All to drive up game pass subs.
