Barely passed half January and it has been sad so far.

- Gold additions still suck
- Gamepass additions were basically non existant till second half of the month
- Even a first party title ends up getting removed from gamepass
- Still Acquisition drama
- Potential lay ofs while they need more people considering their are some long standing isseus + game delays.

The Dev direct is something they had to but also seems bare bones.

I know next year will be better....

Bruh, if I hear "next year will be better" one more time I'm gonna lose it.

Next year will be better because it will have Avowed and Fable. /Jk.

For real though, Idk, a fairly mid slow start to the year with some groan worthy news.

But end of Jan is very strong, an Xbox event showing their major early 2023 releases, MH Rise which is a huge addition to Game Pass and Persona 3/4 which are also two strong additions to Game Pass, January is usually shit every year for Xbox aside from last year's announcement of ABK acquisition which was only announced in Jan because it was right before the fiscal report.

Oh and Scalebound was cancelled in a Jan, Lol. Seems to be the month where bad news gets dumped, I'd argue this Jan may end up a bit stronger than previous ones and once again we're only 18 days in, I still think this will be one of Xbox's strongest years in a while. Nobody cares about We Happy Few (sorry, it's true) and there has been no acquisition drama. Layoffs are worst than all of that list combined though.
