Circana's latest monthly sales report revealed that not only was spending on software up year-over-year(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/these-new-releases-gave-game-spending-a-much-needed-boost-in-march/1100-6539539/), but spending on hardware grew as well.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Game Pass Could Lose Other Day-One New Releases Beyond Call Of Duty, Expert Says
The big Xbox Game Pass announcement this week was a price cut for the subscription and a major shakeup that sees new Call of Duty games no longer coming to the service at launch. Curiously, Microsoft's blog post(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/04/21/xbox-game-pass-update/) announcing the changes did not say all of Xbox's other first-party games will launch on day one into Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The blog post said only that Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers will get "major day-one releases." Given that language, many are wondering if other games beyond new Call of Duty releases could be stripped out of Game Pass for day-one launches, or "windowed," to use an industry term. That remains to be seen, but it's a possibility that analyst Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis believes could happen.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Game Pass "Pick-Your-Own" Plan Being Considered, Report Says, As Further Discord Integration Teased
A new report claims that one of the ideas Microsoft is considering for Xbox Game Pass is a new "pick-your-own" plan that would allow players to create their own specific version of Game Pass featuring content and services they are interested in. At the same time, Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma teased that further integration of Discord could be on the way for Game Pass. Windows Central reported(https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-game-pass-price-gets-a-massive-price-cut-call-of-duty-2026-will-not-be-included-details) that the long-term goal for Microsoft is to make Game Pass "more flexible," and that lines up with what Sharma previously said(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-pass-is-too-expensive-and-it-will-change-xbox-ceo-says/1100-6539369/). In a memo to staff, Sharma said her long term goal was to "evolve Game Pass into a more flexible system." In her memo, she said this will take time, as Microsoft conducts tests to find out what works best. How a potential "pick-your-own" plan might work in practice, including limitations and prices, remains to be seen. And there is no guarantee that such a program would ever be released. It could be something Microsoft is only experimenting with, or intentionally leaking to gauge interest(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/todays-game-pass-change-is-a-great-one-the-next-one-will-hurt/1100-6539533/).

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox's Game Pass price cut shows its big bet on Call of Duty didn't pan out
The move is sensible and will be popular, but Microsoft's strategy for Game Pass and COD, and its Activision buyout, make less sense now

Probably not the budget PC gaming saviour we've been hoping for.
🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformThe Blood Of Dawnwalker’s Release Date And Other New Details Will Be Revealed Next Week
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/22/01f4c6d0/thebloodofdawnwalker1.jpg.webp) Developer Rebel Wolves has announced a special livestream for its upcoming action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker(https://gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2025/06/08/vampire-rpg-the-blood-of-dawnwalker-gets-first-gameplay-trailer-and). Airing next week on April 28, the stream will reveal new details about the game, including its release date. The “Road to Launch” livestream airs at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET and will showcase new gameplay footage “with a particular focus on activities tied to the game’s open world,” explains game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz in a press release. The presentation will also debut a new story trailer, feature developer insights into the game's storytelling, and share the system requirements, among other announcements. The Blood of Dawnwalker was first teased in 2022, and it is an open-world action RPG set in 14th-century Europe during the Black Death. Vampires terrorize the continent, and players control Coen, a warrior who becomes a vampire-esque creature called a Dawnwalker. To save his family from a powerful vampire lord, he must utilize his vampiric abilities to battle nightmarish creatures. The game also places a heavy emphasis on choice-driven gameplay, such as forming uneasy alliances with other characters. The developer, Rebel Wolves, was formed by ex-CD Projekt Red developers who previously worked on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077.
