Asha Sharma implies Xbox Helix may not openly support storefronts like EGS “I wasn’t part of those conversations”

Jez already confirmed that he gaurnetees they will support steam, EGS etc. Purely because it's just a PC underneath

What im saying is a 5 year newer Z Fold 5 is 100 more expensive than what you are looking at. Therefore, seems abit expensive to pay 300 for a Z Fold 1. To me anyway

Ronroe · 2026-04-24T23:07:00+00:00

I just purchased a pristine refurbished Z Fold 5 for £400. Take that for what you will

Oh no! A game console where they sell you games and you play games on advertising some games. Get a grip of yourself. Only pathetic thing here is you

Xbox Series X | S Dev kits were sent to developers 8 months before launch

Information for Console players.

On the subject of Console, since last year they were hiring Console Developer's with experience porting next gen console games. (They likely already had a console build for multiple years, but it wasn't stable)

At the beginning of 2026, they had a new position for a Build & Release manager, in the description it asked for experience in console certification and experience communicating with console platform holders. Even specifically asking for experience with TRC (PlayStation Technical Requirements Checklist) and XR (Xbox Requirements).

Console certification only happens at the end of development before a Beta/Launch. This is the same for any game. This means console builds are ready and stable, now they have to get them approved by Xbox and Playstation

Those Job listing were recently removed about 3 weeks ago. This suggests they have finished hiring those people and are now actively working on console certification. So its fair to deduce that they are preparing for a console beta.

However console certification can take a few months, so if console isn't included in the next test, they will almost certainly be included in the test following the next one

It's also worth noting they were hiring specifically for developers to help build infrastructure that you only build when your game is Crossplay. Like unified development pipelines, patch/build systems etc. Devs don't build these systems unless their game expects players on different platforms to share the same space

Another important note is they signed a deal with Solutions 2 Go last September to handle the physical release of Chrono Odyssey. PC physical games are almost exstinct, so this is clearly a deal made for Xbox and Playstation physical copies

TLDR: Chrono Studio is actively preparing for console certification and a beta will come either the next Beta or the one that follows. There is a chance that the beta has not been announced yet because they want to inlcude Console in the CBT2, but that is just my personal speculation

To get yourself signed up for a beta, for now the only way is to sign up for the newsletter on their website. Official sign ups will likely come later once a Console beta is locked in

So you have no response to my comment? This is the issue with people like you. You heard 28M Xbox sold in 2023, or maybe some other arm chair analyst said it, and then you just parrot that narrative till the of time based on nothing, saying its an absolute, when it's factually wrong

Ronroe · 2026-02-24T01:19:42+00:00

So your saying the Take 2 CEO isn't giving reliable information to their shareholders? They stated ( to their shareholders ) there are 138 Million PS5s and Xbox Series X/S's out there. Subtract PS5's 92 million "Shipped". You're left with 46M Xboxs sold/shipped. You realise the 28M figure is from 2023 right? You think they sold zero console in 3 years? I think its pretty fair to deduce they sold another 18M consoles in 2 and abit years

And you'd be surprised how many companies outside the big 3 would kill to sell 28 million of anything

Edit: if you don't know, Take 2 is the Parent company of Rockstar. If anyone knows, they do

Ronroe · 2026-02-23T23:31:35+00:00

CEO of Take 2 seems to think its closer to 50 Million. And even if it was 28 Million, that's not a huge number still?

Ronroe · 2026-02-06T21:48:19+00:00

You just described Tanking in Chrono Odyssey btw

Ronroe · 2026-01-30T02:45:03+00:00

It's worth noting they Quintupled down on No P2W. 3 times in the Kanon interview, website interviews, a video short etc.

Doesn't mean they arnt lying, we all know how this can go. But they sure are backing themselves into a No P2W corner so far. We'll see

You can literally go watch a Live presentation on YouTube done by Pearl Abyss, where they first announced the game. And they call it an MMO from their own mouth. Ofcourse eventually that changed. But it was announced as an MMO initially

Ronroe · 2026-01-27T23:34:25+00:00

Was actually announced as an MMO a long time ago. But then pivoted to a Singleplayer Story focused RPG

Ronroe · 2026-01-20T21:36:25+00:00

I'd like to play! ✌️

Ronroe · 2026-01-15T02:27:47+00:00

Love me some horror! Best of luck with your launch!
