“Report: Xbox To Unveil Starfield Controller & Headset At Games Showcase 2023. It's being reported that Xbox will unveil a Starfield controller and headset at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase 2023 on June 11th, and it looks like we already know pricing details as well.
This has been leaked by the reliable billbil-kun, who had the following to say for Dealabs Magazine. According to billbil-kun, the pricing for the Starfield Xbox controller will come in at €74.99 / $79.99, while the Starfield Xbox headset will retail for €124.99 / $124.99. Both may actually be available to purchase as soon as June 11th.
The one thing we don't know right now is what either of these accessories will look like. A separate leak from earlier this year revealed a glimpse at a stunning Starfield Xbox controller, but that was ultimately met with some uncertainty about whether it was an official design or not. At the moment, there's still no definitive word on this.”

“Some Of The PS5’s Biggest Showcase Games Aren’t Actually Exclusives. Not every game announced at yesterday’s PlayStation Showcase will be available to play only on PlayStation consoles, it turns out. Xbox revealed—only a little smugly—on Twitter after the show that 12 of the games PlayStation publicized will also come to Xbox.”

“It's Been Ten Years Since Microsoft Almost Ruined Xbox Forever. Microsoft still hasn’t recovered from the Xbox One reveal. It was a paradigm shifting moment in the gaming industry that turned what was once a leader in overblown console wars into a laughing stock. High on television, Kinect, and its own misguided view of a connected future, Xbox stumbled out of the event with over a decade of lost ground to recover. We still love to crack jokes about Don Mattrick’s awkward rambling of buzzwords associated with sports and TV, all while trying to sell us an overpriced console with not enough games and far too much baggage. Years later and Phil Spencer is still struggling to pick up all the pieces. Gaming would be so different if this reveal event never happened, likely reshaping Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo into different beasts altogether through an unavoidable butterfly effect of changes both massive and minute. Hard to believe it’s been ten years, or exactly how much has changed in the face of a beautiful disaster.”

“European Commission Explains Why It Disagreed With UK CMA Over Xbox ActiBlizz Deal. Microsoft has officially appealed against the block of its Activision Blizzard takeover in the UK, with the formal process taking place earlier this week. The appeal is being handled by the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT).
This was announced by a Microsoft spokesperson in response to Reuters yesterday. The UK Competition and Markets Authority blocked the deal in April, claiming that Microsoft "failed to effectively address the concerns in the cloud gaming sector", although the European Commission ended up approving it a few weeks later.”
