SE cooked with this, need all the pixel remasters to get this treatment lol (and bring second story to xbox)

I don't think Ubisoft is quite as bad off as some people think. Yes, they did lose like 85% of their stock value between 2018 and now, but the stock value was overinflated when it was at it's peak, their stock is currently worth more than it was from 2000-2006 and 2009-2013. Their financials for 2024 showed green (gains) over the previous year in most areas, revenue, operating income, net income, total assets, net equity, etc. They're not exactly in a great place right now, but I don't think their situation is quite so serious that they are on the verge of total collapse. 

Yes, there are changes they need to make to make themselves successful again. As sad as it is, layoffs likely need to happen as they are way too bloated with 18k+ employees, far more employees than publishers that output just as many games per year as them (or even more games than them in some cases). They should be looking to sell off dormant IP's (and maybe even some of their active IP's) as it was recently rumored they were looking at doing. They should make their open worlds smaller and take more time making their games (2 changes Guillemot claims they have already implemented in recent years). They need to innovate more and iterate less. 

I need to catch up on my SE rpgs - there's over a dozen I havent played lol

Average month for Game Pass, Mullet Madjack, Atomfall and Blizzard Arcade Collection being the standouts but nothing really "big" like Avowed in February or Oblivion Remaster next month, unless Atomfall turns out to be a complete banger, Lol. April is looking awesome though so far and only based on what we know.

Is Crash 4 still not in GP? Suppose that's another thing Exta has been wrong about lately. 👀

I don't understand why Bluesky isn't embedding in dark theme either, I can't seem to get it to work now.

The game has a user rating of 5.5-6.3 on Metacritic. The platform where fans of guys like Asmongold or fanboys in a console war or whatever just review bomb a game because why not. Many of those who vote on Metacritic probably never played the games they review bomb. Why should anyone care about a Metacritic user score? I really care more about the scores of users on the platforms where people really played the games. 

Towerborne is likely releasing in early access in April as well...Exta said April but that doesn't take a leak when they added a Towerborne background image to the Xbox console yesterday, Lol. Fucking Christ Microsoft...Why are you releasing everything in April...Man, if Age of Empires II HD for PS5 and Starfield for PS5 are April as well...

• South of Midnight (New Release)
• Oblivion Remaster (New Release)
• Indiana Jones (PS5 Port)
• Forza Horizon 5 (PS5 Port)
• Towerborne (Early Access on Xbox)

All in April so far with Age of Empires II HD on PS5 set for "Spring"

ID@Xbox: Developers of All Sizes Are Finding More Success With Xbox – $5 Billion Paid Out to Date

With GDC kicking off, our team is in San Francisco to celebrate with independent developers who continue to inspire us every day with their ambition, creativity, and passion. In the past year alone, ID@Xbox has seen over 1,000 games launch, including fan favorites like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, bringing new experiences to console and PC communities.

Since ID@Xbox was launched in 2013, more than $5 billion have been paid to independent developers from all over the world. We’re also proud to offer developers the ability to use our platform to maximize the opportunity to reach an audience across multiple screens.

As announced last week, over 1,000 titles are now supporting Xbox Play Anywhere (XPA). When players purchase an XPA game, they can play on Xbox and Windows 10/11 PCs at no additional cost, bringing their saves, progress and achievements across devices.  This means players can access their favorite games in more places which has led to these titles getting 20% more play time.  

Today, Xbox offers more places than ever to play independent games: Xbox consoles, gaming PCs, and laptops, Windows handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally X or Legion Go, mobile phones, tablets, Samsung and Amazon FireSticks enabled by the Cloud – all of these are an Xbox, and all a potential home for your next favorite ID@Xbox title like Another Crab’s Treasure, Neva, and Animal Well.

In addition to offering more ways for people to play, the Developer Acceleration Program (DAP) is ensuring that we have content that speaks to everyone. The program fosters innovation for over 200 teams and creators from different countries around the world. We help developers by hosting information sessions with studios, providing port and prototype funding, and helping to reduce costs of bringing games to Xbox and building new ideas. The Xbox Excellence Award-winning Botany Manor and the recently released Mullet Madjackare recent DAP titles, both of which are available today with Xbox Game Pass.

Our mission with ID@Xbox has always been to empower teams to achieve more with Xbox. Over the years, our program has evolved to bring ID@Xbox games to players on more screens and in new ways through Game Pass and Stream Your Own Game. We’re focused on helping independent teams enable Xbox Play Anywhere to reach more players – allowing seamless play across console, PC, and cloud. No matter where people choose to play, we’re working with developers to make the most of the features unique to that device or screen. Looking ahead, our lineup is incredible with upcoming games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak to play across the whole Xbox universe… and of course Hollow Knight: Silksong too!  

Today, we’re excited to host developers from 10 countries at our annual hands-on preview event for press and creators. Among them are 11 Xbox Play Anywhere and six Xbox Game Pass titles, including Winter Burrow from Pinecreek in Denmark, Detective Dotson from Masala Games in India, and Promise Mascot Academy from Kaizen Works in the UK.

Our team is thrilled to work with so many developers around the world to bring you unique and innovative experiences. Whether players buy, stream, or discover their next favorite game through Xbox Game Pass, now is the perfect time to join the Xbox community.
