Xbox finally had its much awaited Developer Direct 2025 and boy was it a good one! With game reveals, release dates for them all and titles like Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight and Expedition 33 all looking promising. Ninja Gaiden 4 was the surprise announcement and the remake of Ninja Gaiden 2 got a shadow drop. Xbox Game Pass all of a sudden looks extremely potent to even the most blinkered of fanboys who hate on the service. A shift in narratives has taken place but is it enough for Xbox?
