When coming up with this week's question, I had a thought. Looking back over the past Destructoid Discusses, I never centered one around the Xbox. Now, part of that reason is I've never owned an Xbox. I have been able to play all three gene... read
Head of Xbox and all-round cheeky scamp Phil Spencer has tweeted today that the "plan is set" to announce pre-orders are open for Microsoft's new console.The Xbox One X, currently set to be the most powerful console available once released,... read
I've heard people say we have a bias against Xbox. But it couldn't be further from the truth; behind the scenes in the wacky Mad Magazine like halls of Destructoid, Xbox One is spoken pretty fondly of. (Heh, it worked, the fools, they will ... read
In what can only be considered a monumental mistake, Xbox gamer Ray 'Stallone83' Cox lost his 'highest Gamerscore' world record, which he has held for eleven years straight, after he stopped gaming momentarily to have marital relations with... read
While fanboys and fangirls may have no filter when it comes to insulting their opposition, usually professional or official Twitter accounts have some form of decorum for poking fun at their competition. I guess whomever is running the acco... read
The underrated anouncement from Microsoft at this year's E3 is the fresh new avatars coming later this year. They are much more animate and have higher quality models than before, now resembling the park-goers from Planet Coaster. There is... read
Scorpio, like most code names, was too good to live forever. We have the Xbox One X now, a name that savvy internet users immediately noted can be abbreviated to "Xbox." Also, X is the roman numeral for 10, and Microsoft is pretty big on th... read
I don't remember the last time I saw Sea of Thieves, but it doesn't really thrill me. I'm not big on pirates and the whole open world thing is a little old hat. That isn't to say this doesn't look neat, but I don't know how much I can belie... read

Of all the E3 press conferences, Xbox's is the biggest uncertainty. We've been teased with Project Scorpio for a year now, and it's time to finally learn all the specifics about this new Xbox. It'll almost certainly live up to its claim of... read
Microsoft hasn't been having the best year for exclusives or incentives to keep people on Xbox One. With Sony already having its "4K" solution in stores, Microsoft is going to have to impress with Project Scorpio at E3 today. According to G... read
When it comes to E3, I am a creature of routine. Microsoft's presser on Monday morning, Sony's later that night, some stuff in between, then it's demo and interview time. Structure: Sometimes it's good. This E3 has me all out of sorts. EA's... read
Whatever Microsoft has up its sleeve for E3, it allegedly won't include a virtual reality headset. Despite being the logical time to launch this sort of initiative, it seems as if Xbox's take on VR will be pushed into 2018 or beyond. Accord... read
That headline is a bit disingenuous because it's not actually my question. It's the question of Code Mystics, the studio that headed up the recent free remaster of Phantom Dust for Xbox One. Admittedly, it holds more weight when t... read
Xbox's biggest character won't be at the year's biggest video game show. Master Chief will be standing on the sidelines, not helping anchor Microsoft's efforts at E3 2017. (Well, unless he ends up part of some offshoot project.) A 343 Indus... read
We haven't heard much out of Microsoft's camp when it comes to pretty much...anything, Many of their exclusives have been either canceled or delayed, and at this point it's obvious that they're pretty much saving all of their surprises for ... read
Xbox is less than a month removed from its latest big update, the one that reconfigured the dashboard and the guide button. Microsoft's method in recent years for improving the Xbox One has been intermittent major updates bolstered by a ste... read

Throughout all of 2014, the Xbox One received monthly updates to gradually repair the bungled state the console originally shipped in. Slowly but surely, it got there. The system-level navigation woes eventually subsided. It's a much ... read
While random internet polls will showcase a wide array of favoritism among any number of platforms in any given week, the results of this poll are a little more indicative of where the industry might continue to be going based on the result... read
Out of nowhere, Microsoft has announced a new subscription service called "Xbox Game Pass." The gist is that for $9.99 a month you'll be able to access "over 100 Xbox One and backward compatible games," in an unlimited fashion. By unlimited... read
Halo and split-screen is a combination similar to peanut butter and jelly. They just go together so well and have provided millions with a tasty and nutritional meal...I mean, a fun evening killing each other...Maybe PB&J has lead to a ... read
The Xbox One is not the same device that it was upon launch in November 2013. Microsoft has moved far away from many of the guiding principles that it previously evangelized. For instance, it has (wisely) shifted course and put emphasis on ... read
The Xbox Games with Gold promotion is doing some shuffling around today, as Outlast and The Cave are leaving the service, and Killer Instinct Season 2 and Rayman Origins are entering it. World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap is the only game that... read
On Monday, publisher Microsoft Studios ceased production on Platinum's Scalebound. It wasn't a wholly unexpected move. Scalebound was revealed at E3 2014, but between then and now Microsoft never did anything to make it seem like ... read
