" When I asked Microsoft if that means that PlayStation's recent God of War games, which have been released on PC, could run on these new Xbox-branded devices—a device with a big Xbox button and logo on it—a rep replied: "Because these handhelds run Windows, you have access to all the games you can play on Windows PCs."

PC plays PC games.

Where's the news?

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

I want to know if I can buy GTA 6 for Xbox (because there is no PC version) and play it on it. I want to see if this is an Xbox

The answer to that is obviously no.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Nintendo's rivalry starts right here.

 

[LordCBH]

No fucking shit. A windows device will play games made for windows?

XINO - Xbox In Name Only

In other news, toilet paper will wipe all assholes.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Slick move. Nobody would be any wiser.

Sony is far too concerned about backlash. These will ease their fanbase into accepting it.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

we all know how this is going to be used by the green army. but remember...."in the search of Wins, they only keep getting Ls"

i saw a tweet saying that Sony doesn't have any intention to block their games.

i think trying to associate Xbox and steam as one ecosystem will backfire anyway

What? It already plays PlayStation games.

XINO - Xbox In Name Only

I liked that name, it will be the new name for the Rog Xbox Ally.

 

[Kacho]

Great question Gameranx. Jesus fucking christ console warriors are retarded.

Who is more imbecile, the guy who share this news or the guy to read it and behaves like 'gotcha, sony!' ?!

Xino
Xino ROG (The Black One)

 

[Steve Holt]

It's wild how many think this is new and revolutionary and not something that's been available for many many years.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

When next gen xbox plays steam games ….

This is well thought out strategy, I feel both Phil and Herman are involved.

How to ease PS fanbase into accepting their games running on Xbox console hardware.

Slick move. Nobody would be any wiser.

And it won't be able to play Xbox-only games.

They just know that this is a talking point for low level trolls

This thread will go well

Plus

 

[Kvally]

And it won't be able to play Xbox-only games.

That would be like saying the PS Portal won't be able to play games. Of course this new handheld can play Xbox-only games. Just like the PS Portal can play PS5 games. Albeit neither of them can play them natively. Both will require remote/cloud access to play them.

 

[Heisenberg007]

It's just disingenuity. Nothing more.

- They will call this device an Xbox when they are talking about PlayStation games working on it.
- And they will call this device a PC when people ask why it's not gonna run Xbox console games.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

We are seeing history being written, the Xbox platform becomes an open platform like the 3DO, and we are already seeing side effects, this Xino will cost $900+, in fact ALL Xinos will cost more than a traditional Xbox.

Apples and Oranges, mate.

PS Portal is a streaming-only device and is advertised as such. This device is not a streaming-only device. It is marketed as a device that can download and play games natively.

And you can download and play all PC games natvely, but you cannot download and play all Xbox games natively.

He's a true Gaffer.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

People are posting how the play anywhere titles is about 10% of their existing Xbox libraries. Most of the 1000 games are shovelware or released in the last year or two.

Also only the black Xbox ally has the impulse triggers.

So Sony didn't put some AI powered activation check in their games that scans the internet to gather information about the PC hardware that's trying to run the game and then blocks it from running when it detects it's an Xbox branded product?

Wasn't that one of M ManaByte 's bullshit theories?

 

[TintoConCasera]

running on Xbox console hardware

It's not an Xbox, it's a PC/Windows handheld with an Xbox logo.

Basically the same as if you purchase a PS5 and slap an Xbox sticker on it. It'd still be a PS5.

oh lol

 

[RaidenJTr7]

PC will play PC games

Xbox = Microsoft
Windows 11 = Microsoft

What is name of the device ? "Xbox "

Last time i checked my PC desktop is named PC not Xbox" ..

 

[DeepEnigma]

Go, go gadget shill army pushing the "xBoX bRaNdEd" to the Xbox braindead.

 

[Punished Miku]

All the people trashing this question, we literally had people telling us on here over and over that Sony would step in and stop this. I read this probably 20x at least on here. Here we have a journalist that got access to someone and asked so we could get the answer. And we got it. This means Xbox PC will also load the Xbox Store app, Steam, Epic, Gog, and play anything on it. Tons of people tried to speculate otherwise.

If you guys think it's a stupid question to ask, imagine how stupid it was for the many people on here that didn't even ask the question but stated over and over that Sony would stop it and were completely wrong.

Xbox hardware is saved guys.

Wait until Gameranx learns you can play PlayStation games with an XBOX controller on PC.

Asus Rog Ally with Xbox branding.

This isn't a console. It's the same PC portable with just a retard magnet logo.

"Xbox PC"... keep repeating a normal PC for The Brand™ like a good little lemming.

They try a traditional CONSOLE, it's getting blocked. Putting an Xbox logo on a tradition PC, does not make it an Xbox.

You are not playing the Xbox version of GTA6 on this thing day 1 next year, correct?

Thought so.
