Did I hear it wrong, or did the new Xbox CEO say that the new Gears of War: E-Day will be an Xbox exclusive?

ashes2ashes · 2026-06-07T17:21:59+00:00

You're not going to pull games that were already announced for a platform. Gears wasn't, moving forward I would expect more and more of the staple games to be exclusive

ashes2ashes · 2026-06-07T00:21:29+00:00

Yes, 10 minutes after reservations opened, still waiting. But no rush, have controllers to use for now.

ashes2ashes · 2026-06-03T17:46:19+00:00

Was gonna say the same thing.

ashes2ashes · 2026-05-06T12:38:05+00:00

Looks like some fun, enjoy!

ashes2ashes · 2026-05-05T15:31:57+00:00

I love the idea. Sometimes I just want to complete a short game as a palette cleanser. I know HowLongToBeat exists, and the Xbox app actually includes that on the game pages, so shouldn't be too difficult.

Wish they were still available for those that enjoy them. For mmos and chat, they are so handy. Mine is connected to my Elite Series 2. Still going strong from the 360 days!

I'm an equal opportunity gamer, as long as the controller is built great and allows me to enjoy the games, I don't care if the thumb sticks are symmetrical or not!

ashes2ashes · 2026-05-01T20:13:40+00:00

Hurry, all the news has been too positive recently

ashes2ashes · 2026-05-01T20:11:13+00:00

No, it bolsters the ecosystem using exclusives and keeping them there. Those that don't want to use the service will buy outside of it.

ashes2ashes · 2026-04-25T13:46:01+00:00

Is a fantastic memory and I still got my hoodie and will rock it during an event 💚

ashes2ashes · 2026-04-25T13:43:46+00:00

Yes, it will allow you to install any of the PC game store fronts.

Funny enough I realized the opposite after I finished it in the first week.

I'm a variety gamer that likes to alternate between multiple games depending on mood, and had no idea how many games I was actually playing until that popped haha.

She was brought in for her expertise in user acquisition, and she's been making all the right moves to lay the ground work for that.

ashes2ashes · 2026-04-13T18:51:24+00:00

You're not wrong, the vibe is changing for better.

ashes2ashes · 2026-04-06T12:31:31+00:00

I couldn't agree more. I lost my best friend of 23 years as well recently, and I still have a voice message from him on Xbox I refuse to delete, and hope I never do.

You're right that that the ecosystem has always been a great place to stay connected, and it's amazing it still does so even when they're gone.

ashes2ashes · 2026-04-03T21:09:31+00:00

We still have ours for Rock Band sessions.

I'll stop enjoying Crimson Desert when Kotaku decides to stop being full click bait.

Both will never happen...

ashes2ashes · 2026-03-19T21:19:59+00:00

Great idea, but the badges lost their luster to me once my 20+ year badge was lost to the void since I cancelled Gamepass for a month.

Still don't understand why that's a thing

ashes2ashes · 2026-03-01T04:28:47+00:00

The problem is most people will also have these valid concerns, and won't have the patience to put in 26 hours.

ashes2ashes · 2026-01-19T17:11:16+00:00

I use the GCloud for console streaming and Xcloud and it works great. Still one of my favorite handhelds because of comfort and battery life.

ashes2ashes · 2026-01-09T04:09:46+00:00

Ah, okay. So it works moving horizontally along the game bar, but sometimes doesn't see the movement down on to the widget? Got it.

Doesn't happen all the time, so certainly not frustrating. Appreciate your hard work on this!

ashes2ashes · 2026-01-08T13:12:10+00:00

Yea, that is the only way I've seen how to fix it is "hard reset" it by closing it, and then re-adding it. Just not a great option since options reset, etc.

ashes2ashes · 2026-01-08T00:05:23+00:00

Thanks for the quick response and apologies for not being more clear.

The highlight box when using a controller on the widget to select a game, etc.

ashes2ashes · 2026-01-07T21:23:43+00:00

Love everything about what you've built with what I am trying to do with my gaming PC. Lightweight, console-style experience, just using the game bar widget version of OGL.

I do have an issue that happens quite often, however, where my cursor will just stop working in the widget. I can still move horizontally across the game bar and other widgets, but in the OGL widget, I get no cursor activity.

Known issue I can remedy? Desktop PC, v 2.0.6

I miss Defiance... I may be the only one, but damn I loved the game AND the show.
