Big daddy Phil still has a stranglehold.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Call of Duty?

My guess.

Starfield
Blade
Indiana Jones
Redfall
Hellblade 2
Elder Scrolls 6
Avowed
Doom

Those are the ones that wouldn't surprise me at all.

I was thinking about Perfect Dark but I'm unsure about the future of game.

 

[Topher]

Oof......Xbox fans on twitter are not happy. They ran off Destin.



ah....it was a joke.



I'd say "kinda"

 

[Heisenberg007]

Wait till its one after the other. I wonder if he will say the same in the near future.

Microsoft are the only ones that can stop this. All they have to do is say they won't release anymore than those 4.

And thus the rumor mill continues.

They won't say it because they fully intend to port everything. This is just the foreplay.

And I can already see the next narrative, "These ports are good as PS and Nintendo players subsidize day one Game Pass releases, and that's all I need, baby!"

But they won't tell why Game Pass needs to be subsidized if it was so profitable

[Roxkis_ii]

Waiting on the master chief collection like:

I'm not port begging!
I'm just port wondering.

[NickFire]

Did the leaker get ahold of their twitter account? It's been less than one week, none of the 4 have released yet, and they are already tweeting that the biggest games will be multiplatform!!!!!

So much for that, coughtestruncough.

PS5 gets Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment before Xbox console owners get Activsion & Blizzard games on Game Pass

And Xbox owners get MLB the Show on Gamepass sub plans before PS subs since 2021.

I’ve played MLB the Show last bunch of years for $0 extra dollars spent while Sony gamers pay full price.

Looking at these dates they must have been cheating on Timdog for awhile

let's see pricing, I am not paying full price for old games

Define full price. Pretty sure SoT has been £34.99 for years and Grounded/Pentiment are budget priced too.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

if there is a need to sell your hardware/platform. Exclusives (especially big ones) are going to be more important than ever.

Dude was having a mental breakdown a few weeks ago and now he's "ok" with it? LOL

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Arrr… Rareware games on ye PlayStation console be all kinds of heresy mateys. They gots no right to em unless they fork over 375 million doubloons as well!

 

[Heisenberg007]

From my POV, I'd consider the price they launched at on Xbox years ago would be considered the full price.

I don't know if any of these games got a permanent price cut on Xbox stores. But if they did, they should launch at those new prices on PS and Switch.

 

[Heisenberg007]

His tantrums didn't work. What else can he do Except for not shilling, which is obviously off the table.

This is the acceptance phase.

Well if you're a PS5/Switch only gamer then these games are new to you. The pricing strategy will tell a lot about Microsoft's thinking with this initiative. Are they just looking for new revenue or more players? Xbox as a console platform is all about Gamepass now and the value it represents. If they decide to massively discount the games they plan to make multiplatform it would hurt the value proposition of Gamepass for someone looking to Xbox as a platform.

These cucks think way too highly of themselves. Then again, that seems to be prevelant in the social media sphere.

[Banjo64]

It’ll be £34.99 for SoT and Grounded.

£14.99 Pentiment.

£29.99 Hi Fi.

Same prices as Steam and Xbox. Book it.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Not saying “only on Xbox”, just that they will be on Xbox .

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Someone running the official Xbox twitter is gonna get fired. I bet you anything that gets deleted.

That's really not the game plan here. Game Pass is old story now for them. Not even Satya Nadella believes in that anymore.

They are after revenue. We'll even see some of these games on PS Plus Essential and Extra. Just like Bethesda's pretty much entire catalog is currently on PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium.

That is literally devaluing Game Pass's proposition and giving away its USP, but Microsoft doesn't care. They want money.

 

[DJ12]

I think this is a brilliant strategy. "Go buy our games on PS5 if you want, or get an Xbox and play it on Game Pass". This is good shit.

Don't walk near any roads as I think you'll get a Darwin award.

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

No thanks, Sony games are better in every way.

 

[Yekshemesh]

Bethesda didn't get PS5 dev kits for only Hifi Rush. It's all coming, the whole slate.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I wanted to make a funny sinking ship thing about Xbox rats but this is kind of awesome.

I was going for something like this instead.

 

[Mister Wolf]

When can we expect Starfield and/or Indiana Jones? 2025? 2026?

If they're after revenue then we'll probably see these launch at full price on other platforms. Games put in PS+ catalog come with a cost to Sony. So it's not the same as receiving the 30% cut platform holders do for retail sales. Microsoft putting their own games in Game Pass don't cost them anything. It's a subscription service. Users have to keep subscribing to maintain access to those games. I'm sure Satya believes in it because it recurring revenue. It's the reason just about every media company has launched streaming services.

And we Xbox fans get nothing from Sony or Nintendo. Feels bad man.

Starfield PS Plus September 2024

Just buy a PS5 and Switch to compliment it.

Not sure we can say Xbox console is all about Game Pass when Game Pass only brings in 10-15% of the game/content revenue for Xbox.

I can try and spin it.

They are saying “the” biggest games not “their” biggest games.

 

[DJ12]

And you definitely don't know about the darwin awards.

Makes sense though as you are a candidate.

Joking aside, you really think adding a ps5 version is going to be a selling point for xbox?

I mean, it wasn't available for PS5 and people still didn't buy an xbox.

 

[RoadHazard]

I didn't see anything in the OP or Tweets about the "how" part of this. Obviously it's straight forward from a technical perspective, but why even say "Learn how..." when that didn't seem to be addressed.

How what?

 

[Oppoi]

Congratulations to Phil and team Xbox for finally joining the big leagues. Shall we play a game? This is the beginning of the end for Xbox.
