Xbox Is Done Selling Movies And TV Shows
On July 18, Xbox posted an FAQ quietly confirming that it was done selling movies and TV episodes on its digital storefront, available on PC and console.
'Microsoft has stopped selling new movie and TV content,' said Xbox bluntly in the new FAQ.
Microsoft says that anyone who has already bought a movie or TV show through the Xbox store will still have access and be able to watch purchased content on their Xbox consoles or PC. The company also confirmed that it will continue to support MoviesAnywhere in the United States, so any movies you own via Xbox should continue to be available via any platform that supports the movie sharing service.
While in 2025 it isn't shocking that Xbox has backed out of selling movies and TV shows, as most people stream stuff or use more popular apps to buy new movies, it is still wild to think about how not that long ago, Xbox was super committed to turning its console into an entertainment hub. Infamously, when Xbox showed off the Xbox One in 2012 for the first time, it spent a good portion of the event talking about TV and movies. Now, that's all gone. End of an era.
Some people saw this coming a few days ago when they noticed a strange collection of movies was in the featured section of the Xbox store.

Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame

'It certainly looks like this is the end,' posted one user earlier this week after seeing the featured movies. 'Hopefully, we'll at least have access to our digital purchases for a long time.'

‘Eat your own dog food': How Microsoft popularized one of the yuckiest terms in tech history
Geek Life: Fun stories, memes, humor and other random items at the intersection of tech, science, business and culture. SEE MORE 'Eat your own dog food' — the practice of companies using their own products internally before releasing them to customers — was once a widely used phrase in the tech industry. But did you know that it emerged from Microsoft in the 1980s? Thanks to former Microsoft executive and veteran tech leader Paul Maritz, speaking on a recent episode of TiE Seattle's Startup to Exit podcast, we now have a clear origin story explaining how this phrase jumped from pet food TV ads to Microsoft mantra to tech industry staple. Paul Maritz. (LinkedIn Photo) Maritz explained that the phrase actually originated with Jim Harris, Microsoft's first head of OEM sales, who would lean back after presentations and ask in his booming voice, 'Yes, but will the dogs eat the dog food?' — using it as the ultimate test of whether a product would succeed. While the source of Harris' inspiration wasn't discussed on the podcast, it's believed to come from a series of Alpo dog food commercials from the 1970s and early '80s, as former Windows and Office executive Stephen Sinofsky recalled in his book, Hardcore Software. Actor Lorne Greene famously said in the ads that he fed the product to his own dogs. At Microsoft, the phrase took on new life during a difficult moment. The company was struggling to compete with Novell in the networking market, and Maritz had been tasked with leading the LAN Manager project — a product with no customers and little traction. 'We were nowhere in the networking business,' Maritz recalled on the podcast. Facing that reality, he sent an email to his team with a simple message: if they didn't have users, they'd need to become their own. In other words, he wrote, they were going to have to eat their own dog food. Engineering leader Brian Valentine embraced the challenge and set up an internal server named \\dogfood — a name that stuck and helped cement the practice within Microsoft culture. Over time, 'dogfooding' became a badge of engineering integrity and accountability: if you weren't using your own software, why should anyone else? Microsoft would eventually gain ground and surpass Novell's dominance in the networking market, thanks in part to internal efforts like dogfooding. And the phrase — once a quirky Microsoft term — spread across the tech industry in the 1990s and 2000s as a shorthand for internal testing and product confidence. Microsoft@50 Read GeekWire's special series on the tech giant's milestone anniversary These days, 'eating your own dog food' has largely fallen out of favor in the tech industry, replaced by gentler alternatives like 'pre-release validation' or the more appetizing 'drink your own champagne.' But the core idea remains: use what you build, and make sure it works — especially before asking others to rely on it. Maritz became executive vice president of Microsoft's Platforms Strategy and Developer Group, essentially Microsoft's third‑ranking executive behind Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer at the time. He left Microsoft in 2000 after a 14‑year tenure, going on to become CEO of VMware, co‑founder and CEO of Pi Corp., and CEO and chairman of Pivotal Software, leading the company through its IPO in 2018. The full episode — exploring Maritz's early experiences, leadership lessons, and pivotal moments at Microsoft — is part of the recent Microsoft@50 series on TiE Seattle's Startup to Exit podcast, with hosts Shirish Nadkarni and Gowri Shankar. I've been catching up on the series over the past few days, and really enjoying it.

Marvel's X-Men director says the new movie will be ‘recognizably different' from the Hugh Jackman franchise
Following the premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the X-Men are the last major set of characters who have not yet been interested into the Marvel universe. Now that we know Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier will be helming this new version of the X-Men, though, he's offered some detail on what the movie will look like in an interview with The Playlist. When he was asked if Marvel's take on the characters will be 'recognizably different' from the previous franchise, Schreier said 'yeah, I think that's fair to say,' before joking that there was red sniper dot pointed at his chest. Recommended Videos 'But to be able to explore all of the ideas that are inherent to that rich source material, but also at the scale inherent to the source material, that's like a very rare and fortunate opportunity,' the director continued. 'That's very exciting.' Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, said during a previous interview that Marvel's take on the characters would be quite different, explaining that they were 'going to make a youth-focused reboot. That may be reflected in mutant castings, and it'll definitely be felt in the tone and perspective of the film.' We don't yet know what the introduction of the X-Men is going to look like in the MCU. What we do know, though, is that Marvel is bringing back much of the cast of the original X-Men franchise for an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday. Whether any of them will have significant roles remains to be seen.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Gives Mole Man a Surprising New Role in the MCU — GeekTyrant
Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps wastes no time diving into the team's beginnings, and it does so with an exciting nod to the comics. The movie opens with a montage of their origin story and their very first showdown with Mole Man. Spoilers ahead! In an epic moment straight out of classic Marvel lore, he sinks the Pan Am Building in Midtown Manhattan. The team, decked out in their blue-and-black costumes, eventually brings down Giganto and captures Harvey Elder, better known to comic fans as Mole Man. But this isn't the last time we see him. Later, it's revealed that Sue Storm has brokered a peace agreement between Subterranea and the surface world through her work with the United Nations. After the Silver Surfer drops his ominous warning, Harvey reappears, watching the team's press conference. In an unexpected twist, Sue invites him to the Baxter Building during the film's final act. With Galactus coming, and New York City in danger, the city needs to evacuate fast. Sue convinces Harvey to let millions take refuge in Subterranea, but not before a sharp exchange of words between him and the Human Torch, with Mister Fantastic delivering one of the film's more humorous lines by calling him 'Mole Man.' Once the city descends underground, Harvey steps into an almost heroic role, opening his subterranean world to the people of the surface, including Natasha Lyonne's character, Rachel Rozman. There were rumors of bigger arcs for both characters, but those plans were apparently trimmed down to keep this reboot under two hours. As for the so-called Moloids, Marvel took a grounded approach. Instead of the monstrous creatures from the comics, they're regular people who joined Harvey in building a life below New York. They wear mining gear and goggles that faintly resemble the big, bug-eyed look of their comic counterparts. It's a clever visual nod, though some fans might find it a little underwhelming. What's surprising is how the MCU flips the script on Mole Man. Rather than making him a one-note villain, the film portrays him as a reluctant ally, which I appreciated. This move adds a refreshing dynamic and sets up intriguing possibilities for the future. Plus, with name-drops like Wizard, the Mad Thinker, and Diablo sprinkled throughout the story, Marvel clearly has plenty of villains waiting in the wings. Whether we'll see more of Paul Walter Hauser as Mole Man remains to be seen, but his role here serves a very practical purpose. By sheltering New Yorkers underground during the Galactus battle, Marvel sidesteps any Man of Steel-style backlash over mass casualties. I liked how they handled Mole Man in the movie, and I hope that we get to see more of the character.
