Xbox Player Voice: Skylanders Revival, Halo Probe, Game Pass

Five new requests trended on Xbox Player Voice over the past week. They call for reviving legacy IPs including Skylanders, Spyro and Crash; adding original Xbox and Xbox 360 peripheral support to backward compatibility; a certified third‑party investigation into Halo Studios leadership; keeping first‑party Xbox games available day one on Game Pass Ultimate; and adding more backward compatible titles to the Argentine Microsoft Store.

The petition titled ‘Use Your Legacy IPs!’ was submitted five days ago and names Skylanders, Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot as franchises fans want revived. The petition’s description reads: ‘Bring back titles like Skylanders which shaped the 2010s with its innovative toys to life mechanics and magic. Spyro The Dragon and Crash Bandicoot.’

A request submitted eight days ago seeks a certified third‑party investigation into leadership at Halo Studios. That petition was filed by former Halo art director Glenn Israel and asks for an independent review of studio management.

A Game Pass petition submitted ten days ago asks that first‑party Xbox games continue to launch on Game Pass Ultimate on day one, expressing concern that titles could change availability on the service. Another petition, submitted eight days ago, requests that backward compatibility expand to include original console accessories and controllers so older hardware can be used with current systems. A separate request submitted three days ago lists missing backward compatible games in the Argentine Microsoft Store and asks Microsoft to restore or enable more titles in that region.

Player Voice launched in May to collect player feedback and feature requests. Many early submissions have continued to receive upvotes, keeping them near the top of the leaderboard. Even when users sort by ‘Most Trending’, entries from around 16 days ago often appear first, so community members have been manually searching to surface newer petitions that have gained traction.

The platform’s longstanding top concerns include calls for more exclusives, making online multiplayer free to access, adding new backward compatibility titles, an Xbox Game Pass family plan, achievement improvements, allowing disc‑based games with Project Helix, returning Xbox Avatars, greater focus on Brazil, changing playtime displays from days to hours, and an HDR dashboard option.

The five recent petitions are publicly visible on the Player Voice leaderboard and have drawn attention from community members who are upvoting and sharing them.
