Xbox All Access is a relativity new program from Microsoft that lets you make monthly payments on a new console over the course of two years. It started in 2018, after the release of the Xbox One, and it’s coming back again for the next generation of consoles. If you’ve ever made monthly payments on a new phone, deep cleaning on your teeth, or Disneyland annual pass, then you probably already have a good idea of how this works.
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."
Bro how tf is this confusing

😑 lol people these will say anything for clicks. I think ms need to start banning these sites that spread dud on purpose.
0% APR for 24 months... it's not that hard to figure out that at the end of the time frame the SX will cost $840 and the SS will cost $600. For anyone who decides not to partake of that will end up paying $860 and $660 for the exact same things (if purchased separately at the current market price). You actually save a little bit by financing, which is odd considering that financing usually costs more over time.
Now, unless the prices of each drop significantly during that time... this is a hell of a deal. I'm going to try my hand at financing the SX and just pay for the SS. That two years of GPU will stack on my existing time and I will be covered for three+ years of new games.
The concern trolling is out of this world. Everything is confusing when it comes to Xbox because they want it to be. People have gone through the same things with other products decades before with no issue but when it comes to Xbox you’re puzzled. Gtfoh.
Here's what i'm wondering here. Are these always online? Becuase i dont see anyway to stop someone just paying the first month and just keeping the system unless it requires an online check in every so often allowing them to brick your console if you don't pay the bill or check in. Otherwise they'll have a tone of stolen xboxes out there just staying offline.
Just curious how they're going to handle that
There is nothing DEEPLY confusing about it and I think that you just wanted to get some clicks.
