🏎️ Forza Horizon 6 Is XBOX’s Biggest Launch Since 2024
Forza Horizon 6 has exploded out of the gate, becoming the biggest XBOX launch since at least 2024 according to TrueAchievements’ player-count data. It’s outperforming every major first‑party release of the last two years and that’s before the full Game Pass wave hits. Playground Games continues to carry the platform on its beautifully rendered shoulders. At this point, Forza is XBOX’s most reliable franchise…
🟩 Microsoft Gaming Changes Its Name… From Xbox To XBOX
In a company-wide memo, Microsoft Gaming has officially rebranded itself as simply XBOX.

Sanity has prevailed it seems...
🎨 New Limited-Edition Controller… But Only in Design Lab?
XBOX has revealed a new “Limited Edition” controller. But in true XBOX fashion, it’s only available through Design Lab. It features a unique shell, special accents, and custom engraving options, making it feel more like a premium preset than a true LE release. Design Lab exclusivity means scalpers can’t touch it, which is a rare W for controller collectors.
💀 Why the Game Pass Family Plan Was Cancelled
A new report sheds light on why the Game Pass Family Plan quietly disappeared. And in surprise to no one, it looks like EA is to blame... The plan was “too generous,” too easy to exploit, and too difficult to scale globally. Microsoft reportedly struggled with regional pricing, account sharing, and revenue forecasting.

🌌 Destiny 2: Every End Is a New Beginning
Bungie has released a massive new Destiny 2 update reflecting on the end of the Light & Darkness saga.

Destiny players are eating well again... Finally! Looks like Destiny is being killed so Marathon can flop...

🧑💼 XBOX Hires New Exec to Strengthen the Console Side
XBOX has hired a new senior executive specifically tasked with “strengthening the console side of the business.” This comes as XBOX pivots toward a more balanced strategy between hardware, PC, cloud, and multiplatform releases.

🎮 The XBOX Elite Series 3 Leaks… And It’s Missing Something Big
The Elite Series 3 controller has leaked online, featuring a removable battery, new grips, and updated internals. But according to early impressions, it’s still missing one crucial feature: Hall Effect sticks. In 2026, that’s becoming inexcusable for a premium controller. Come on XBOX — drift is not a personality trait.
