Xbox Rumors and Speculation

My PS4 is a dust collector now. I am fully in this new gen, so going back to the old machines ain't happening. Doesn't mean I don't play old games, but If it ain't on my Series X, it ain't getting played, lol.
Fair enough. I bought it on my PS5. I haven't launched it yet though.

Rumour Roundup: The Latest Xbox Rumours We've Seen In April 2021
We're sometimes in a bit of a quandary when it comes to rumours here at Pure Xbox. What do you believe, and what don't you believe? And when there are so many rumours doing the rounds, which do you pick out to highlight?

It's a problem that we've definitely faced with rumours in April 2021, as we've seen plenty of them cropping up from various sources - concerning everything from new Xbox Game Pass titles to deals with Nintendo and Steam!

So, while we'll continue to highlight individual rumours when we think it's appropriate, we also want to do a little trial run for this "rumour roundup" series, gathering the major rumours into one article for you to be the judge over.

Battlefield 2021 Coming To Xbox Game Pass At Launch

It was suggested earlier this month that the new Battlefield game for 2021 could launch on Xbox Game Pass later this year, after Xbox Era podcaster Shpeshal_Ed stated that "a certain third-party, AAA, first-person shooter" was "highly likely" to be launching in Game Pass this Fall. Known Battlefield leaker Tom Henderson also seemingly added weight to this a few days later.

Persona Once Again Being Teased For Xbox Game Pass

Several potential buyers have shown interest in Square Enix, CTFN quoted two bankers familiar with the matter.


It is not clear whether the target of interest is only the game department or the entire company.


According to Bloomberg data, Square Enix's digital entertainment business accounted for 72% of total sales in the fiscal year ended at the end of March 2020.

Bloomberg Intelligence pointed out on the 11th that "the growth of mobile games in the world may continue to slow down." It is said that it will be much stricter than in 2020, when sales surged due to restrictions on going out due to the new corona virus.

He's not the only one sayin that, he just posts more often so it's easier to link. We'll find out at/by E3.
But we know he doesn't know anything. I'm sure he bandwagons other rumors but when someone is constantly wrong its time to ignore them like they deserve.

That’s what I’m saying, though. It’s a rumor that has been floated by several ‘sources’, and he just happened to tweet it, so it was easier just to post it from him.
 

And they think Netflix is going to buy Sony

Klobrille and whoever else tweets stuff like this can go suck a big one.
Klob: I can't stand people asking about the Sega acquisition rumors again.

A week later.

Klob: Something awesome is happening and I was thinking to myself how awesome it is.
Followers: Please tell us more.
Klob: No..but wish me a good weekend back.
