Xbox Series X Pro Mid-Gen Upgrade Is Unnecessary, According to Xbox - IGN Daily Fix

In today's Daily Fix: Xbox's Phil Spencer isn't sold on making a mid-generation "pro" version of the Xbox Series X. Speaking with Rolling Stone, he doesn't think the upgrades would be worth it, especially for the price you'd pay. Currently the PS5 Pro is the most powerful gaming console available, but you're paying an eye-watering $700 for it. However, Xbox is working on a handheld, but Spencer also said to not expect one of those for a few years. In other news, Blizzard is staffing up for what appears to be an open-world shooter that could be set in the StarCraft universe. If you're old enough to remember, this isn't the first StarCraft shooter Blizzard has attempted: StarCraft Ghost was stuck in development hell and then eventually cancelled back in the PS2/GameCube era. And finally, Obsidian's highly-anticipated RPG, Avowed, can be purchased for the low low price of around 5 World of Warcraft tokens. Each token is worth about 1.3 million in in-game gold, so the base version of Avowed will set you back 6.5 million gold.
