DirectX 12 has a set of exciting features lined up which could change PC and possibly Xbox One games development in a big way.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
“On the DX12 question, I was asked early on by people if DX12 is gonna dramatically change the graphics capabilities of Xbox One and I said it wouldn’t. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but the CPU, GPU and memory that are on Xbox One don’t change when you go to DX12. DX12 makes it easier to do some of the things that Xbox One’s good at, which will be nice and you’ll see improvement in games that use DX12, but people ask me if it’s gonna be dramatic and I think I answered no at the time and I’ll say the same thing.”

Really impressive jump for PC gaming, curious to see exactly what impact it has on the Xbone
Lol On Curtis Copy and paste. The little improvements they have made on the SDK has pushed the Xbox one really close and in some cases better in the performance and resolution department than the PS4. We can see it from a mile a way that DX12 will be very good for the Xbox One regardless on you play with words.
He also used the word "Massive" in another interview. Do you Know the defenition of " Dramatic" and " Massive"???
Massive/Dramatic change to me is 50% and up So is DX12 a Massive/Dramatic change for XB1? NO! Will it be a "big" change could be..
In closing i agree with Phil and the words he chose..Imo dx12 could be " Big" Difference but not a Massive/Dramatic difference.
All I have to say is, if you think m$ made a console knowing they were making dx12, and said console wouldn't take full advantage of dx12, you're an idiot. period
