The last week has been a real ordeal for fans of Xboxsince they have seen a whole series of news appear which do not exactly reassure those who trusted Microsoft. Now, it must be said, today those of Phil Spencer They haven’t said anything about the veracity of what was published, so there is still time to think that nothing will happen. Or maybe it is and it’s going to be even worse?
As we told you, last week’s sangria Xbox It was initially a business decision that virtually all Microsoft exclusives for its consoles were going to have a PS5 version. Complete the boundaries between one system and another in one fell swoop. But as the days pass, the apocalypse has already affected other, even bigger problems.
Farewell to the Xbox brand?
The fact is that in addition to these exclusives, the universe of Xbox This fell apart a bit again last Friday when many users noticed subtle changes that North Americans were making in the descriptions of certain products in their console family. These subtle variations would have meant that games previously clearly identified as belonging to Xbox Game Pass, for example, will cease to be so. Even the logo Xbox Series left us.
Below we leave you a very clear example in this regard, and which represents a before and after of future measures that Microsoft would be to simplify your video game space, by eliminating Xbox of the equation and leaving a brief “Console – PC” to tell the user where they can go to find each thing (we’ve always seen things like this). Don’t you find it very, very strange that something like this could be due to a simple mistake on the part of someone?
Well that’s it. The best try. From now on, #Microsoft multi and goodbye #XboxSeries https://t.co/viIfPq6Nma

The fact is that we have entered the key week for many fans of Xbox and few people know exactly what he will announce Microsoft. In addition, in recent hours some claim that in the North American offices they also do not know what they are going to say, surprised by the reaction of the community to the news that has appeared.
Microsoft or Xbox? Now it’s all doubt
It was Tom Henderson, a journalist who presents himself as a sort of initiated of the industry, is the one who expressed this surprise to live in Microsoft after the latest events. So much so that he speculates that given the consequences that a point-by-point confirmation of everything that has been published would entail, those of Phil Spencer They would consider stepping back, gathering their candles and pretending that nothing happened here and that everything that was seen and read last week was the product of a media that only knows how to make it up.
“Talking to some people inside, [en Xbox] They were very surprised by the extent of the rumors because nothing is set in stone, apart from RUSH Hi-Fi Yes Sea of Thieves [dejarán de ser exclusivos]. […] Honestly, it seems like this is mostly an example of Chinese rumors or people who invent things to profit from hysteria. “It will be interesting to see what is said, as the rumors seem to be fueling decisions that may need more time in the oven, so to speak.” What do you think? Will there be a rebrand? Are we going to say goodbye to Xbox?
