The Xbox team has released a message on social media accompanied by a video featuring a group of kids talking about what the future will be like. In this case, it’s a promotional message for Xbox Game Pass, as the video ends with the service’s logo.

The problem lies in how it’s perceived, depending on who’s watching. The predictions made in the video are quite accurate, although they might not sit well with those of us who prefer physical formats for video games, especially on Xbox. The video mentions things like, “I think tomorrow’s games won’t require discs or cartridges” a prediction that’s true, but not everyone is happy about it, at least that’s what I’ve gathered from the post’s responses.

Xbox’s New Social Media Message

Below, you can watch the video in question and decide for yourself whether you find it entertaining or controversial. As you know, there have been many heated debates about video game preservation in recent years, and while digital formats are becoming more dominant, physical games still have their audience and we hope they’ll stick around for a few more years.

Hmm, extremely interesting predictions pic.twitter.com/C5HXKgqpib
