Jason Ronald, from Xbox, hinted that Microsoft has some big announcements planned for 2026, celebrating the Xbox’s 25th anniversary. When asked by the BBC about bringing more original Xbox games to Xbox Game Pass, Ronald didn’t give a definite answer, but suggested fans will be pleased with what’s coming next year.
We’re not ready to share details just yet, but 2026 will mark Xbox’s 25th anniversary. We’re planning a big celebration to honor everything Xbox has achieved and to give a glimpse of what’s coming next. I can’t comment on specifics right now, but expect some exciting announcements next year.
During the interview, Ronald explained that Xbox sees it as both a desire and a duty to save older games and find innovative ways for people to play them.
Okay, so it sounds like 2026 is going to be a big year for Halo! Not only are they planning to add more original Xbox games to Game Pass, but they’re actually bringing the original Halo: Combat Evolved to PlayStation 5, alongside PC and Xbox! And on top of that, there’s talk of a brand new, always-online Halo game coming out next year too. Pretty exciting stuff if you’re a Halo fan like me!
People are also curious about when Microsoft will officially reveal its new gaming console. Rumors suggest it will be a powerful device, potentially borrowing features from PC gaming.
2025 proved difficult for Xbox. The company responded to pressure from Microsoft to boost profits by making significant cuts, including layoffs, closing some game studios, and canceling projects. They also increased the price of Xbox Game Pass, prompting questions about whether the service still offers good value.
