This November will mark five years since the Xbox Series X and S were released.

But the next generation of Xbox consoles is less appealing to me than ever before.

Microsoft has been steadily releasing its previously exclusive games on other platforms.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Doom The Dark Ages and Forza Horizon 5 are all slated to come across to the PS5 in 2025 .

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection are also expected to make their way over to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 .

As of February 2024 , there were a whopping 34 million recorded subscribers to Xbox Game Pass .

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadell stated that the PC subscriber base of Game Pass grew by 30% over the Q2 2025 fiscal year .

This is a stark comparison to the lackluster sales of actual Xbox hardware, where sales for Xbox Series X/S consoles in January 2025 were down by 48.7% from January 2024 .
