Deathloop könnte ab September auf Xbox Series X/S landen

Aktuell ist Deathloop auf PS5 mit einem Rabatt von 50 Prozent versehen. In einer kleinen Fußnote ein Hinweis auf eine Xbox Series X/S-Version versteckt.

www.gamepro.de

At the turn of the year, many video game providers offer attractive discounts. The first-person action shooter Deathloop is also currently offering a 50 percent discount in the PS5 Store . So far, the title has been similar to Returnal and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 console exclusive, but that could change this year.

The Deathloop account advertises on Twitter with the discount campaign described above. Right at the beginning of the clip, however, you can see a small footnote that also refers to important information:



What does it say there? The small print says that Deathloop is not available on consoles other than the PS5, at least not until September 14, 2022. This means that the shooter could also be available on other consoles for the one-year anniversary.

So a one-year timed exclusive before it hits GamePass.

 

[Jose92]

GamePass?

 

[elliot5]

Hasn't this been known

 

[Yamisan]

Death Loop has already been on sale at Amazon for $25 for weeks now anyways.

This is also old news.

 

[Arenafighter]

I don't understand the news here...

 

[Punished Miku]

So a one-year timed exclusive before it hits GamePass.

So 1 yr for Ghostwire probably

 

[Iced Arcade]

Really isn't news, more of a given.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

If they fix the shitty Ai by then and loading, Xbox users won.

Deathloop and Ghostwire are so visually unimpressive. Im not quite sure why Sony paid for their exclusivity. Advertising rights would have been enough.

 

[captainraincoat]

Most likely get the usual DLC that Arkane release with their games which is usually better than the original game
There was alot of loose threads in the main game so i expect we might get something that is either set before the main game or the aftermath

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder if it will hit gamepass PC before then.

 

[BlackM1st]

 

[remember_spinal]

This was known about since 2020

 

[Gamerguy84]

Yea I believed it was a year timed exclusives.

Gamestop has had it physical for a little while at this price. Should appear on GP though since MS bought it.

 

[SJRB]

Only 9 more months to wait for the most okay-ish videogaming experience you'll ever have.

There's probably a clause in the contract that'd prevent it from being on game pass day one

 

[Jigsaah]

I bought this one. I support studios putting their games on other platforms (particularly PC) so I voted with my wallet.

It's a great game for those who haven't played it. Bought it not knowing it had a dark souls-esque PVP aspect.

 

[MrFunSocks]

I thought we already knew it was a 1 year timed exclusive?

 

[remember_spinal]

Only 9 more months to wait for the most okay-ish videogaming experience you'll ever have.

I enjoyed deathloop but yeah, it already felt like old news by november. The loops and puzzle wasn't complex enough to really carry conversation for it. It's actually a pretty linear game

It's a good game, it's relatively short though all things considered the premise would probably lead you to believe it would be longer than it is

 

[Captain Toad]

I doubt it. If Sony couldn't stop The Show from going to GP, I can't see them blocking Deathloop.

 

[Lognor]

Hasn't this been known

Known? No, not known. Assumed maybe. Guessed at. But not known.

Didn't we know FF VII R was coming to Xbox a year after it's PS4 debut? How did that turn out?

 

[Jaybe]

I think people assumed one year exclusivity, but I doubt it has been announced yet. Seems like something that Sony would have insisted be kept under wraps with the contract. If this was a cute workaround to hint at it, I don't think Sony will be impressed. Not that they can likely do anything about it. any way, good for me, I'll give it a go Sept '22.

the 9/14/2022 little text has been in months and months old trailers like the launch trailer for deathloop. This ain't news in any form

That ad is from last year, everyone knew it was timed exclusive along with ghostwire.

Yeah? And remember this?

You don't who owns Bethesda now, right?

FFVII is a weird one. I don't think anything is keeping SE from releasing it on Xbox, they just aren't bothering.

 

[Lognor]

You don't who owns Bethesda now, right?

Oh shit. It's Microsoft, innit? Well maybe it'll come out before September then. Why not? Microsoft can just pay the penalty for breach of contract and release it early. That could happen too.

What does that have to do with it becoming available on Xbox in September?

 

[Lognor]

Who is Nick?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

MLB has it's own peculiar situation. Deathloop shouldn't be any different to the other marketing/timed exclusive contracts where they had a clause to block sub-services

 

[Yamisan]

What does that have to do with it becoming available on Xbox in September?

Its not that hard to figure out.

 

[legacy24]

looking forward to playing this and starfield in the fall

 

[JaksGhost]

Oh shit. It's Microsoft, innit? Well maybe it'll come out before September then. Why not? Microsoft can just pay the penalty for breach of contract and release it early. That could happen too.

Phil already said that they would obligate all deals done prior to the Bethesda acquisition. Also them breaching it could have a very negative effect.

 

[remember_spinal]

Yeah? And remember this?

Did Microsoft buy square enix recently and no one told me?

 

[Warablo]

Waiting for that Game Pass PC release

 

[adamsapple]

So a one-year timed exclusive before it hits GamePass.

I think that much is a given.

 

[Three]

Waiting for that Game Pass PC release

It will likely be September too and coincide with the exclusivity period ending as contracts for exclusivity include subscription services too if the leaked contracts of the past are anything to go by.
