Cultural Impact
The Xbox Series X launched alongside the PlayStation 5 and represented Microsoft's most powerful console to date. Microsoft's strategy shifted significantly with this generation — the focus moved to Game Pass, their subscription service offering day-one access to major releases. With the acquisition of Bethesda and Activision Blizzard, Microsoft is repositioning Xbox as a gaming platform rather than just a console, with titles releasing day-one on PC and Game Pass simultaneously.
