Oh no, more meaningless PR fluff...
I'm rather old here and I've never had a problem with @Ozriel . I think he mostly plays on PC.
100% this. Why update a gaming PC when you can get an easy to use box for a lowe price that won't be the best top of the ñine thing but will let you play your steam library expediently?
Now imagine this thing coming with them also announcing WoW console edition included in gamepass. Now that might start moving things a little.Powerful, premium box with working, hassle free Steam access and i'm there. Cloud services and Play Anywhere are icing on the cake. Thank you.
Forced is true, but I'm looking forward to it if they can streamline it a bit more like a console. I think lots of people would like to be able to move their library over if they get the best of both worlds. PC is clearly where it's at but most people are stuck with their libraries where they bought it.He's an Xbox gamer who has recently been forced to find refuge on PC, in the same way that you will be.
This doesn't sound good.
Play Anywhere is a great initiative. Very consumer friendly. Sony should take notes.
all these initiatives have like 6+ years in existence and the opposite has happenedInitiatives like ID@Xbox, Play Anywhere, Xcloud etc... are unique to the Xbox ecosystem and means of gaining or attracting users to that XBOX ecosystem.
Greedy Sony could start by having one license for their PS and PC releases, but they choose not to do that to fleece their customers.How? Sony doesn't have another platform like Windows.
I don't think it's worth engaging with that guy. He always posts a bunch of nonsense to rile people up and get reactions from them.Which part, specifically?

I can buy any first party Xbox Game and play it across a variety of platforms with the same save profile at no extra cost.Why are you pretending Microsoft doesn't have multiple licenses of their games?

That's Sony's problem, they could've released a PS store front on PC when they went third party, but chose not to. Let's not pretend they don't have the resources to do so.You dodged the question. As was pointed out earlier in the thread, you can only do that within the Xbox ecosystem. Same applies to the Sony ecosystem.
"Saw the writing on the wall" might be more apt.Forced?
Damn when did they shut down everyone's Xbox?
Seriously. They make PC games. They can put anything they want on Windows. You don't have to own windows.That's Sony's problem, they could've released a PS store front on PC when they went third party, but chose not to. Let's not pretend they don't have the resources to do so.
I don't even buy that as long as they keep saying they are working on a next gen console (which I know is coming)"Saw the writing on the wall" might be more apt.
There are over 1000 so far.Does doubling down mean 10 games now support it?

Having options is always a good thing. I can't tell you the number of times I wish I could move my PC game to my living room TV and play with a controller. But to do that I would have to stream it to my Steam Deck or hook my PC up in the living room, things I'll never do.I don't get it. Maybe it's just not for me, but I don't see this being a selling feature for enough people that Microsoft can hang their hat on it. I think the vast majority of players play a game on one machine with no need to bounce between different platforms. I know for me, I have different games installed on my Steam Deck than my PC. I have no need to go back and forth between them to play the same game.
Even if I think of Xbox as a third party publisher like EA or Ubisoft, I can't understand what their value pitch is for a new box that's not a walled-garden ecosystem. I guess this might make sense if Game Pass were this huge market force with 180 million subscribers or something, but...it's not.
Do you honestly think a new "Xbox" console or whatever is going to move the needle for Game Pass in any meaningful way? I mean, that would be the whole point of new proprietary hardware for them, just as a Steam Deck is after more people joining Steam/buying more from it than making money on the hardware.I don't even buy that as long as they keep saying they are working on a next gen console (which I know is coming)
Some people want to rip the band aid off quickly.I don't even buy that as long as they keep saying they are working on a next gen console (which I know is coming)
Sony already develop and release games on Windows and Xbox. PSN accounts already work on Windows. Nothing is stopping them from creating their own storefront/launcher where PS players can play across PS and PC with the once license. Valve manage to work on Windows and Linux just fine.Nonsense. Windows isn't part of Sony's ecosystem. Might as well say it is Microsoft's problem that they don't have a store on Mac or Linux. Just a bullshit take.
These initiatives have been going on for years, yes, but it's now that they want to give it an extra push... In fact, that's what the head of XBOX Asia is saying, and it's related to the new strategy that no longer focuses solely on XBOX consoles but includes a huge number of devices compatible with that ecosystem.all these initiatives have like 6+ years in existence and the opposite has happened

Would be hilarious if 'Xbox Play Anywhere' becomes the new 'Game Pass' at their showcase in June.Does doubling down mean 10 games now support it?

"Every game we show you today will be an Xbox Play Anywhere title. Our commitment is to bring the games you want to play to the devices you want to play on."
Whether it's working or not is irrelevant.
PS . It's incredible the energy some of you waste criticizing, belittling, and pointing fingers at every single thing about a brand that claims to be "dead"...![]()
Whole different conversation if it moves the needle or not as compared to being "forced" to buy a PCDo you honestly think a new "Xbox" console or whatever is going to move the needle for Game Pass in any meaningful way? I mean, that would be the whole point of new proprietary hardware for them, just as a Steam Deck is after more people joining Steam/buying more from it than making money on the hardware.
Again totally different than being "forced" to buy another platformSome people want to rip the band aid off quickly.
Chances their next console is a smash success that saves their console business? Slim to none.
Chances you and I buy one? 100%
the delusion of Xbox fanboys has to be studied.

your are half way dude, now connect the dots!The sick hatred of people towards a brand of electronic products is worthy of stu..... Eh laughter and embarrassment.
In your educated opinion, what would be their goal with a new Xbox?Whole different conversation if it moves the needle or not as compared to being "forced" to buy a PC
Again totally different than being "forced" to buy another platform
In all honesty before I buy the next Xbox it has to be ultra powerful AND hit the GTA 6 launch window and its not looking like the second part of that is happening
Side note they aren't saving the Xbox console business moving forward with their current strategy but I don't think they actually care at this point
If it means deprioritizing Game Pass in their messaging I'm 100% on board with that. Get your remaining user base comfortable with buying games again.Sounds great.
Many Game Pass games are already Play Anywhere, if they expand on both, doesn't seem like anyone should have a problem with that![]()
I'm sure we have quite a few people here that have been talking about the imminent death of XBox for quite a few years. Any day now.Forced?
Damn when did they shut down everyone's Xbox?
your are half way dude, now connect the dots!
No one is looking to buy games from the Microsoft Store rather than Steam just so they can also play on their Xbox. The only ones willing to play games out of the Microsoft Store are those who have GamePass and if they have GamePass they aren't buying games.
Maybe you should read the paragraph and better understand that you just agreed with me... But missed the point that there is no large market looking to play on PC and console.
Edit: PlayAnywhere is Microsoft proving they don't have an identity and are wading through the water aimlessly.
Catering to the diehards that wont leave behind their large Xbox librariesIn your educated opinion, what would be their goal with a new Xbox?
I would gladly pay some sort of tax to play across all platforms instead of having to buy separate keysYou dodged the question. As was pointed out earlier in the thread, you can only do that within the Xbox ecosystem. Same applies to the Sony ecosystem.
And you are only partially correct. If you buy a "first party Xbox game" on PlayStation, such as Forza or Indy, you cannot play it anywhere else but PlayStation.

Guess we'll see in June. Maybe a soft shift in messaging. They've been yapping about Play Anywhere a lot in recent weeks.If any change like that is to be made, I don't expect it mid-gen. It'll be part of any new gen initiatives like how Sony pivoted from free online to paid online as part of the PS3 to PS4 transition.
