Xbox Beat PlayStation and Nintendo to an Unwanted Accolade as it Pushes 2024’s Most Surprising ‘Flop’ Via an Incredibly Unethical Manner that Spells Disaster
Image
Xbox has not been having the best year so far. It most recently came under fire for closing multiple Bethesda studios and having poor reception from Hellblade 2’s release. Now, the trillion-dollar company is receiving bad press again for putting ads upon booting up a current generation Xbox.

Hellblade 2 is being advertised to all players who boot up the console, whether they’ve played the game or not. While it won’t pop up again, this is setting a dangerous precedent that could lead to PlayStation and Nintendo following suit.

Xbox Pushing Ads – Who Asked For This? There’s better ways to advertise a game.

The newest Ninja Theory project is being advertised to all Xbox players on console start-up. On the menu, you can play the game through Game Pass or by purchasing it. In addition, you can watch the trailer to see what the game is all about.
