I did an interview with @deantak.bsky.social in which I was honest about my worries for Xbox and it went viral (including this weird AI merge of me and Russel Crowe). I was hard on Asha (+Satya) but, because she is nicer than me, she invited me to hang out tomorrow. OK I will! What should I ask her?

Oh, hey, this is my team! So happy to see all the feedback you've given so far. A bunch of stuff you've suggested is already on our roadmap, some if it is brand new to us (thank you, you're the best), and we've got other fun surprises in store too.

A year ago at this time I was recording a very special video for me and one that had been close to my heart. I shared the story of how Gears of War quite literally saved me from suicide. I'd like to share this story again for anyone interested. Games mean so much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_JW...

We deep dive into all things @horizon.forza.net 6 with our Preview Impressions. Check it out!

🎮 Xbox almost didn’t happen. 25 years later… it’s still here—and still evolving. Ed Fries (former VP of Microsoft Game Studios) joins us to talk Halo, risk, AI, and why the “gaming is dying” narrative doesn’t hold up. Clear takes. No console-war noise. #Gaming youtu.be/XhMdMnW-EXU?...

It’s rare in life to know when a chapter is closing, but after 38 years at Microsoft, that moment has arrived for me. I’ve made the decision to retire and begin the next chapter of my life.

You've *probably* seen the Kiln segment that was in the @xbox.com Developer_Direct 2026, but if you haven't: youtu.be/uq9axge8IxI And THEN, watch the BRAND NEW Making Of video from @2playerproductions.bsky.social, who documented the shoot! 🎉 youtu.be/3RTOd4DEeUc

I was once asked to work on a project for someone a while back, there was another individual involved that I didn’t have contact with, I was sent a piece of artwork, I needed the artwork in its original layers and what I got seemed strange

I know I shouldn’t turn a blind eye to the state of the world, but when you see what’s going on it’s just demoralizing

No words

As many of you have been with me during my career in gaming, I'd like to share personal news. Like many in the gaming space recently, I've been laid off from Unity

On Dec 1, 2015 I founded Seasoned Gaming. The idea was born on a car sub-forum of all things. My goal was to simply discuss gaming as I believed it should be : with an appreciation for its history, and no bullshit, SEO writing, or clickbait. My reflection: seasonedgaming.com/2026/01/09/c...

Nice to see @seasonedgaming.bsky.social reach 10 years in the game.

What I love about #DeveloperDirect is the focus on giving players a direct line to the creators behind the games we’re all excited about. Can’t wait for you to see what’s coming in 2026.

There's a huge number of interesting looking titles slated for this year. Forget all those enormous 'AAA' games - let's dive into the wonderful world of everything else! Over 30 Games to Look out for in 2026:

From the Game Awards seeing the return of some classic franchises to the confirmation of yet another Developer_Direct in January, it seems there's plenty to talk about in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 292! Watch/Listen:

In a new blog post via the Windows Experience Blog, Microsoft have shared that the ROG Xbox Ally "made gaming on Windows better across all devices". Details:

On the podcast I said that Xbox had been a top seller then got ABK and stopped trying. They said this a few months after announcing the intent to buy ABK and then they immediately stopped trying to sell/ship consoles. www.purexbox.com/news/2022/07...

MAJOR day in gaming! Lots to discuss;)

Two years of Xbox making it clear that they aren't going to ship a lot of consoles and they're even less likely put things on sale. They got their growth targets when they bought ABK, now they're in margins mode. It might be stupid to you, but it's not a mystery.
