I just stumbled upon the latest Xbox announcements and, seriously, my brain can’t catch a break. New Game Pass games are dropping like it’s no one’s business (not that I’m complaining about more things to distract me from adulting), but do they ever think we might need a moment to breathe between these reveals?
There’s talk about a new tier for Xbox Cloud Gaming, which—let’s be real here—the name alone confuses me. Does this mean I have to subscribe to yet another thing to play all these new releases, only to find out my internet can’t handle the “cloud” part? (I’m still not over my last buffering incident with a Netflix original, mind you.) And don’t get me started on adjusting another budget spreadsheet.
The cherry on this stressful sundae is the rumored release date for a handheld device. Who isn’t up at 2 AM pondering if we’ll finally have a legit Xbox handheld soon? But knowing these gadget companies, they’ll pull the old “it’s available everywhere except your country” trick. It’d be like hyping up a midnight snack only to find you’re out of snacks entirely.
I did find a post discussing this mystery lineup. But let’s face it, if the device’s arrival felt any more like a cipher, I’d be better off decoding ancient hieroglyphics.
My eyes still hurt. I need coffee. Ugh.
