It has been claimed that LEGO Horizon Adventures could soon be coming to Xbox in a bid to make the game a commercial success.

That's according to Arab media outlet justplayit, who claim that their sources have said that LEGO Horizon Adventures will be coming to Xbox in the coming months.


While the outlet did not give a specific date, they said it's likely to come in the first months of 2025 "at most" and even went as far as to speculate that it could be sooner.

Lego and Horizon both

[Stitch]

So it can bomb on XBOX too

 

[lh032]

great get for Xbox

 

[ArtHands]

in before the people who will claim this is not a Sony Playstation 1st party game

 

[xrnzaaas]

Unless they're preparing to offer it in Game Pass I see no point, the game already flopped hard on bigger platforms and they should be moving on.

 

[Goalus]

It would be a wise choice.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I must be getting old, because Horizon is one of the most boring IPs I've seen in fucking ages.

 

[M1chl]

Can't wait for "not a real Sony exclusive"

 

[Hookshot]

Currently 22 players on steam, at 09.00 UTC on Friday the 13th it had a low of 9 players.

 

[LordCBH]

Another platform for it to sell 8 copies on. What'll the sales total be after that version? 30?

 

[Fabieter]

Take the gamepass money to even make some money on the whole game.

 

[Fake]

 

[Astray]

Those 5 extra sales on a platform that doesn't have any Horizon games or willing buyers will surely turn it around.

31 because I'm going to buy it when it's on sale for less than 10€

Let it come so it's not only Xbox getting shite for sharing games. Death Stranding and Kena bridge of spirits came out for xbox recently as well which was an early ps5 game. FF 16 will be ported along with Forspoken and Wukong once the timed exclusivity window closes as well. Watch if Sony starts to send even more of their games over to pc and Xbox and make even more money. Who knows.

 

[RoboFu]

Sony falling on hard times it seems.

 

[Trekinspace88]

Same media outlet months ago had Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart listed as coming to Xbox so i think they might not be very reliable. Both than again with Xbox going 3rd party going forward even stranger things could happen.

But none of those is a 1st party game.
Although Lego Horizon isn't fully a 1st party, it's more half licensed, half 1st party.
They could have called "Building Blocks Horizon" and have it be fully 1st party.

 

[mitch1971]

What's 2 extra sales gonna do?

 

[Humdinger]

Ha. Fair assessment.

 

[Doczu]

Phil Spencer be like

 

[Gaiff]

>Bombed on PC
>Bombed on Switch
>Bombed on PS5

Surely, releasing it on the console with 10% of the market share is what is missing for this to be a hit.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Hulst is willing to release the game on Xbox in hope it sells more units just so we get more of horizon ….

Someone fire this mother fucker -_-

 

[Mr Moose]

Can't wait for "not a real Sony exclusive"

It never was?

 

[winjer]

No wonder, considering it sold so poorly.

 

[Skifi28]

It would be a wise choice.

Yeah, think of those extra 500 sales.

 

[Thief1987]

Yeah, think of those extra 500 sales.

You think it will sell so much?

 

[Goalus]

Yeah, think of those extra 500 sales.

It will thrive on Xbox/Game Pass.

 

[Skifi28]

It will thrive on Xbox/Game Pass.

The game that failed on PS + PC + Switch will thrive on the platform with the smallest install base? Cool.

 

[midnightAI]

Can't wait for "not a real Sony exclusive"

It isn't? I don't think that's what you mean

 

[M1chl]

It never was?

Well the IP is Sony's property, in general these things at least don't appear on Xbox (if we ignore "everything is xbox")


Granted I don't think its a big deal and likely LEGO pushed them

 

[ManaByte]

It's just not a good LEGO game. That's why it's not selling.

 

[Unknown?]

​

Yeah, that's really going to help the game. What are they thinking?!

 

[demigod]

This ain't happening unless they want to lose money on porting it.

 

[EN250]

It would be a wise choice.

As if bombing hard on PlayStation and Nintendo systems +PC wasn't enough
Sure it's another brilliant idea from the Studio head who still doesn't realize he's the only in love with this franchise

 

[Little Chicken]

Nobody wants this

 

[diffusionx]

First they make this game nobody wanted in a franchise everyone is tired of, then they release it next to the 18th release of the original that tells the exact same story, they don't have a ps5 pro patch for it to maybe get some of the hardcore Sony simps, it totally bombs, then they decide to release it on Xbox.

Help make any of this make sense

 

[onQ123]

They bet on the wrong pony

I know Twisted Metal is a beloved PlayStation franchise but I think they should release the next game multiplatform.

It just seems like it would be the perfect game for all out war across all platforms. If done right Twisted Metal has potential to be 10x bigger than it was back in the day so I hope they put a lot of effort into bringing it back now.

Hey, look on the bright side.

just be thankful you're finally getting something good to play.

Well, Hulst has some kind of fetish for humiliation, so I have little doubt that he is craving for more

 

[Sebastian1295]

Xbox fans didn't even buy indiana jones after hyping it up nonstop, so do you think they're going to buy this crap lol.

 

[Punished Miku]

I've played a few Lego games and I never last longer than 10 minutes. Maybe some kids will like it. I can think of other Sony exclusives I'd be more excited about. You know ... all of them.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

I must be getting old, because Horizon is one of the most boring IPs I've seen in fucking ages.

It is and it's one of those games where I have a hard time picking out why it's so boring. Maybe it's the characters and how they're written or the nonsense plots? All I know is that I finished both games and can barely remember anything that happened in either one.

Blasting giant feral animalistic robots with a bow in a dystopian open world should be cool and memorable but it just isn't for some reason.

If it was Marvel or Disney something they might have a chance with kids. Without having done any market research, I'm going to go ahead and guess that there are roughly 0 people on earth under age 18 who care about Horizon.

 

[Horseganador]

The strange thing is that it is not already on Xbox, if it is already on PC and Switch, it is stupid to delay a version for the 4 copies that it will sell.

 

[Quasicat]

Lego games do hit GamePass and the publisher will probably strike up a deal with Microsoft that will make the port worthwhile. It may not sell a lot of copies but to me Lego games are like Ubisoft games…wait a few months and it'll be on a big sale.

 

[Topher]

Never heard of this "justplayit" website. Are they reputable?

 

[Certinty]

Absolutely nothing about this game makes any sense.

Still astonished it exists.
