This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Beware when sensationalized journalists use the word "killer" cause it usually means they're full of shit
Remember how HAZE was going to be the "halo killer?"
Remember xDefiant was the "call of duty killer?"
Ars lost a fuck ton of points from me for this dog shit sensationalized title
How many Halo killers have we forgotten about at this point?
lol fat chance Microsoft is capable of launching a new hardware line and having the competency and staying power to be sucessful in 2025, maybe 5 years ago, but not today.
They couldn't do it 5 years ago either.
10 years ago Michaelsoft launched their own VR headset, which was such a flop you probably don't even know it happened.
I think that was the thing that gave us Young Conker, ms really knows how to use those IPs it has.
Steam Deck already does 1, 2 and 3.
Now pair it with constant nags (Enhance your experience by signing into a Microsoft account, Subscribe to Gamepass! Have you tried Copilot???), and Microsoft's inability to ever add anything new to their controllers (bye bye Gyro and Touchpads) and you've lost me.
I’m OOTL on the news around this device, but if the joysticks that they install in the thing are just as shitty as the joysticks that they put in current Xbox controllers then there’s no chance I’d even consider buying one
I'm sure MS will shoot themselves in the foot.
it will most likely run steam, so it will not be any kind of steam deck "killer". more like "sibling".
LOL. Remember the Zune? Or Windows Phone?
What I am saying is it may be brilliant but Microsoft has a long history of being too late to the party for it to matter.
Shut up Ars
It probably won't look exactly like this, but could you imagine if it did?
yeah. its looks awful.
Xbox one era d-pad shows a real attention to detail
Just a bunch of what ifs... that all hinge on Microsoft not doing bare minimum to get a product out.
That title alone is all the proof i need.
Clickbait so it'll never live up to the claim.
Good luck guys, do let us know how it turned out.
