here we go again:
Jez Corden teasing that Xbox will have a small show next week.
“There might be something Xbox fans might want to tune into as well, maybe. [...] But Xbox might have a little something next week as well. [...] A little show.”

Microsoft has announced Xbox First Look: Metro 2039, a digital-only broadcast that offers a "world-premiere look" at the next game in the post-apocalyptic shooter series from 4A Games and Deep Silver.
The Xbox First Look kicks off on Thursday, April 16 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, and you can watch it live over on the official Xbox YouTube channel.
Well Xbox first look shows is a new thing and I am for it.

Sounds like it will be similar to the Xbox Developer Direct that is held in January, except will be just one game rather than 4 or 5.

It's sad that the thought of a price decrease sounds insane lol.

Ad supported tiers would bring down the price or a new tier between Premium and Ultimate that includes everything Premium has plus day one games without Call of Duty and none of the other extras that come with Ultimate (So no Fortnite, EA Play, Ubisoft+).

Another boost of stream your own games:

Around 30 minutes until the new Metro shown, man say what you will about Xbox but their showcases this year so far have been fucking unmatched. If Metro gets a release date for this year then it’s officially the greatest year in gaming.
