Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

[Raid]

Aren't XBox announcements basically just "we're still here! Look at all the Halo and Forza we have!" these days?

[Medicine Man]

Pretty much, but with some Gears of War thrown in for good measure

Or is it just Gears these days?

There'll no doubt be some Crackdown 3 stuff, Game Pass and more new content for released games. They have promised a couple of big surprises though. So Halo Immortal for mobile probably.

Oh and Humble tweeted a winky face when retweeting the XO announcement so likely something due there too...

Microsoft are jacking UP the Gold price here in good old Blighty...

Prices will rise by £1 a month for our monthly subscriptions, £3 for our quarterly subscriptions and by £10 a year for an annual membership.
