Microsoft Is Investing Significant Money To Go All-in on Gaming - Report

4.8
One thing we have been hearing for a very long time is that Microsoft takes gaming very seriously, and that they are investing money into it to go all in on it. Now, we have heard it again. According to a report by Thurott, Microsoft is investing significant money to double down on gaming.

To the report’s credit, nothing it says is outlandish- apparently, there is a new Xbox console in the works (this one will have GDDR6 in it, deeply integrated game streaming capabilities, and Xbox One systems will be forward compatible with games made for it), while also trying to double down on the investment on the games side. Microsoft is apparently investing a significant chunk of money on content development- but, again, the report does note it will be a while before the results of this investment bear fruit.

So, I guess… we will be waiting for a while. That said, while they are late on the uptake, if this report is true, I am just glad that Microsoft seem to have gotten the message.

Famous Last few years I personally don't think they have focused on gaming.


That isn't necessarily true. Where they really need to step up their game is exclusive titles. It never really bothered me to be honest, but just yesterday when I was in a Best Buy I've realized how huge of the gap is between Xbox and Playstation is when it comes to exclusives. To be fair, a ton of the exclusives are JRPG's, but that doesn't make it any better for Microsoft.
With this "new money" being invested, I just hope some of it goes to first party publishers.
I really hope they'll be able to shine this year during E3. A new Fable, Halo, and other big name games will hopefully help Microsoft become more competitive again.


I can not agree with you more. I was just about to write the same thing but you already wrote everything I had in mind. Last years E3 was ok but way to many indie games and not enough exclusives or first party publishers. I am looking forward to this June and hopefully they have a lot more in store for us. Always good to hear they are investing more money into gaming!
