Microsoft Shifts Focus to Gen 9 and Xbox Game Pass Content Fund

Microsoft has officially moved on from the Xbox One and is not developing any more first-party games for the console, aside from updates for live-service titles. Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty stated that the company has "moved on to Gen 9." Xbox One owners can still access new first-party games through Game Pass Ultimate and cloud gaming.
