To be honest, this kind of feels like the death of Xbox's day one gamepass plans. Somebody mentioned to me recently that the press release for this summer's showcase doesn't contain the word Gamepass anywhere in it. Now we learn that Gamepass player number success for HiFi (3m in 7 months) and Ghostwire Tokyo (6m players in a year and a half) weren't enough to save Tango from the executioner's axe. Meanwhile this statement about why the studios are closing says that Xbox plans to refocus on high-impact titles, meaning Zenimax titles with the strongest sales potential. It definitely reads like the whole Xbox schtick about how Gamepass allowed them to fuel creators' visions has failed, clearly Xbox's number crunchers want a game with high sales over a game with low-moderate sales and big Gamepass player numbers.
