It's starting to feel like every other day we get something new and crowd-pleasing from the new Xbox boss, Asha Sharma, and this Tuesday is no exception (seriously, this article is a week old and already starts to feel outdated). A few hours ago, it was announced via Xbox Wire that Microsoft is now launching "a new place to collect your feedback and make it more visible", a sort of digital suggestion box, if you will.
The premise of the Xbox Player Voice initiative is that you should be able to voice your opinions on various topics, and that it shouldn't just feel like shouting into the void, but that your thoughts should actually be heard. The idea is that you'll be able to:
Share feedback on your experience with Xbox
See when your feedback has been received and reviewed
Follow updates if and when there's progress to report
Get a clearer sense of how your input is shaping the future of Xbox
After the service had been up and running for five hours, thousands of gamers had already shared their feedback and started voting on the community's top priorities for Xbox, where the number one item is unlikely to surprise anyone, except perhaps Microsoft:
Lower the price of the systems
Change playtime from 'days' to 'hours'
HDR Dashboard
Xbox Avatars
Allow disc-based games with Project Helix
Xbox Game Pass Family plan
Achievements
Make Online Multiplayer Free To Access
Backwards Compatibility
EXCLUSIVES
