Hellblade 2: Senua’s Saga is Exclusive to Xbox & PC

Ninja Theory’s Hellblade 2: Senua’s Saga was one of the standout surprises from The Game Awards 2019. No one expected it and we certainly didn’t expect the visual fidelity it offered in-engine and in real time. While we’ve suspected for some time that it’s coming to PC as well as Xbox Consoles, Microsoft has now provided official confirmation.

[mrmikew2018]

Oh lord.

Well I wonder will it stay exclusive on the Windows store on the PC or will Steam or Epic get the game as well?

Damn.

[TheScotsman]

Let's buy a game studio and make a game exclusive to our console, wow never seen that coming

[rdgneoz3]

"and make a game exclusive to our console"

PC became a console when? Because I haven't heard of steam or epic on consoles yet...

[AngelicIceDiamond]

You been living under rock since 2016 it seems.

[SierraGuy]

If Ms loses the next console gen (and all looking that way so far) they will be going full PC in 6 years...100% exclusives and all.

[D__RAiL]

@SierraGuy and they are still wining even if they come behind Sony or Nintendo. Anyone of these companies have such crazy profit margins when it comes to games sold on their platforms.

[TheScotsman]

Nobody cares about it being on pc as well as console. It's a Microsoft exclusive end of. PC gamers need to get a grip. Us console gamers couldn't care less about your specs and your superior hardware. I just wanna play on my console so get over it please

[bluebenjamin]

I thought Xbox didn’t have exclusives so yall have said

[gamer7804]

well exclusive to the Platforms in which the Publisher holds ownership of, which is in this case all Microsoft platforms, Xbox and Windows.

[Unspoken]

Thanks Capt Obvious!

[Obscure_Observer]

@TheScotsman

"Let's buy a game studio and make a game exclusive to our console, wow never seen that coming"

Lol! You wouldn´t believe how many people tought Xbox would become a third party publisher!

[S2Killinit]

Maybe I’ll take a look on PC then.

[fiveby9]

Well that was expected. Makes no difference to me. I will likely own both consoles anyway....

[Jrios355]

Well considering the fact that Microsoft had purchased Obsidian Emtertainment sometime before The Outer Worlds was announce (And was still released for PS4), I can see why this article is being made.

[Atanasrikard]

@jrios355

Microsoft acquired Obsidian one month before Outer Worlds was announced. Even when they announced the acquisition they stated that games already in development for multiple systems would still come out on those systems.

[SyntheticForm]

That's great, actually.

The baseline won't be the low powered Xbox One S - hell not even the Xbox One X. They won't have to cater to low specs. They're really making this a true next-gen project.

I have no doubt this game will look utterly fantastic now.

[D__RAiL]

actually all the tweet says is its coming to Xbox and PC. So do not be surprised to see most games come to XOX and XOS too for the first couple years. They can just use some type of render scaling and have a decent product. Dynamic Resolution is coming a long way and they are actually learning a lot just from the compression codecs used to stream games.

[Christopher]

It's my understanding that Microsoft's plan is for backward and forward compatibility. While that is definitely aimed at next-gen console output, they still, by all accounts, want it playable on Xbox One consoles as well.

[DaDrunkenJester]

This title is misleading. All the Twitter comment says from Aaron is that it is an Xbox & PC exclusive... not specifically a Series X exclusive.

[DiRtY]

That logic is broken. I have read it so many times, it is just wrong.

Games are scale able.

PC games look awesome and run on thousands of different systems. There is no holding back here!

I play the crap out of Modern Warfare on PC right now. Everything on Ultra / high, 160 FPS, 1080p and it looks great.

You can run this on a slower machine with less details though and MY experience on a beastly machine won’t suffer from it. It is that simple.

[DJStotty]

@D-Rail

Or do like they said they would do and program the game for the most recent console (Series X) and then the game will recognise which console it is being ran on and adjust the settings accordingly.

Exactly like now how a game will only let you adjust graphics settings if your running it on an Xbox one X.

This should be common knowledge by now

[Zeref]

Windows Store and most likely Steam.

GamePass will be exclusive to Windows Store

[NiteX]

It will be on Steam. I mean even Gears 5 came to Steam...

[D__RAiL]

Microsofts new trend is releasing on Windows Store, PC Game Pass, Steam and I would not be surprised if it also releases on Epic Store because of the nice publishing cut with a UE Game.

[neutralgamer1992]

It's no just Sony. Epic/Sony are going to be tight this coming generation

[CaptainHenry916]

I'm glad it's coming to PC. Not exclusive to Xbox series X? So you can buy it for the Xbox one slim 😂

[slate91]

nOt A tRuE eXcLuSiVe

[fathertime4464]

Well seeing the ms still owns windows I'd say it's pretty exclusive to Microsoft. Also since xbox is the only console you can play it on, still exclusive there.
So I must be missing what your seeing because all I see is you not playing it unless it's on a Microsoft owned console or os

[MadLad]

Exactly. It's a MS EXCLUSIVE. Do you want the console, where more copies (systems) will likely sell? Or do you want it on PC, where MS basically owns the gaming OS.

[SyntheticForm]

I don't know why oppo-fanboys are still obsessed with Microsoft not making Xbox exclusives anymore. Xbox and PC users don't care, and we're happy about it.

Why do Sony fanboys always feel the need to slide in, plop down, and be all "But it's not an Xbox exclusive hurr durr" when they know it's still a Microsoft exclusive?

People using an Xbox SX or PC don't care; they just have a next-gen title to look forward to.

[fathertime4464]

@syntheticform
Sony fanboys are obsessed with the fact that ms owns and supports two formats because they only have the one. Ultimately its sony cutting themselves short in sales.
I know I know, but ps4 sold 100million units. Well the Microsoft ecosystem has several billion units. Microsoft would be stupid not to support its main bread and butter like they used to. Shit if sony put their 1st party games on pc like ms does they'd be worth probably a trillion dollars, instead they're worthless than Nintendo. And considering Sony does a ton of other things other than gaming, that's just sad

[Knushwood Butt]

It's about killer apps and system sellers.

If it is available on PC then it dilutes any impact as a system seller for the XSX.

But oh yeah, I forgot that MS don't care about system sales any more so none on the above matters anyway. /s

[SegaGamer]

@SyntheticForm

I agree. I'm gaming on pc 99% of the time, I'm very happy for all Xbox games to come to pc. I'm not sure why some people think this is something to make fun of Microsoft about, because I wouldn't have it any other way.

[SyntheticForm]

@Sega

Exactly. Also, you can tell that many of these people claiming that they're going to be playing on PC are only publicly announcing this because they think it makes Xbox users upset.

Maybe they are actually planning to buy it for PC, but I would wager that a lot of them are simply saying that because they want to say that they 'skipped over Xbox.'

'Woooooo - look at me - I can buy it on PC and skip over your precious Xbox muahahahaha.' Nobody cares where you buy it, or even if you buy it at all.

[BlackRaven85_1]

Well. It's better support than Sony has ever done for the Vita and Vue, too.

[badz149]

@fathertime4464

"Ultimately its sony cutting themselves short in sales."
"Well the Microsoft ecosystem has several billion units."

LOL dumber than a rock!

how many have Gears, Forza and other MS's published games that have come to PC day 1 sold? any of them touching Horizon or GoW or Spider-man numbers yet?

BILLIONS yet MS suck so hard at selling games they can't outsell Sony selling only to 100mil consoles hahahaha!

[gravedigger]

Hellblade is multiplatform title, don't need to buy shitty Xbox console to play this. Thank you, MS. Even will play it for 1$. Thank you MS, you don't deserve more than 1$

[fathertime4464]

@gravedigger
Well son we now know that you cant Wright well.
The problem with your statement is that hellblade is multiplatform, hellblade 2 is not. You see there was this little thing called an acquisition after the release of the first on. An acquisition is when something is bought, in this cas it was hellblades developers. So save your dollar son, I don't think a trillion dollar company is worried about your broke ass anyways

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Call of Duty Modern Warfare is exclusive to PC, PS4, and Xbox One

See how ridiculous you sound?

[AnubisG]

I don't think people understand that for some reason. It's not that difficult.

[ocelot07]

Skyrim is exclusive to PS3,Xbox 360, PC, Switch, PS4, Xbox One lets all laugh at the Wii U /s

[Imalwaysright]

And as a PC gamer I tip my hat to MS for supporting my platform of choice with their 1st party games.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Saved $300 from buying an Xbox LOL

[TheHunter81]

It’s the reason while I’ll never buy a Xbox. I have a PC and PS4, best of both worlds.

[badz149]

and save $60 per year not paying for online too

[slate91]

It's almost as if people are missing the sarcasm with my text. Tried to make it as clear as possible. Calm down 😂

[bluebenjamin]

I cant wait to play on my Imac at 0 fps

[gamer7804]

Its exclusive to Microsoft platforms... so that pretty much fits the definition of the word.

[Studio-YaMi]

You can't play it unless you have an Xbox(console) or a PC, how is that not a true exclusive?

Most people don't want to indulge in PC gaming or building a gaming rig(or have the money for it), this is great news to us PC gamers, kudos to Microsoft for this great policy, more fanbase to a franchise = more sales and potentially new game in the series.

Not so much of a fan of Ninja Theory though ...

[Anomander]

That's like saying God Fall is not a true Exclusive...

[Xavi4K]

There are many reasons to own an xbox.

1- if you want to play microsoft exclusives without paying tons of dollars Your best bit is Xbox.

2- if you want to play microsoft games on couch with ease of use ( i know pc can be connected to tv or even streamed but common its not as convenient as console).
3- to many people xbox game pass is amazing service and although it’s available on pc not every title available on xbox is also available on pc.
4- if you plan to invest in cloud service like Xcloud you would probably think of getting xbox...play your game on your console at home then pick up your phone and finish what you started while you are riding the metro.

[itsmebryan]

So, are you saying any PS game that you can play on PC is no longer an exclusive?

[isarai]

Ok, did anyone ecpect different? Not really new imo

[mrmikew2018]

Maybe I heard him wrong at the game awards, but I thought idiot-a$$ Phil Spencer said that the game was going to be exclusive to the Series X?

[spicelicka]

That sounds like a statement straight from your a$$, no one ever said that.

[Kribwalker]

It could be on the Xbox one as well, as he just said it’s exclusive to xbox not series x

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Sadly not a true exclusive

[NeoGamer232]

I don't think MS cares whether you buy it on PC or XB. If you buy either or both platforms MS gets the same amount of money.

[The_Sage]

Difference is, Neo... Most of us already have PCs so we have no incentive to buy the new Xbox to play the game.

[Christopher]

Depends on if it's on Windows store only or also on Steam. If it's on Steam, it will definitely not be the same.

[NeoGamer232]

@The_Sage
Again, not sure MS really cares. Selling consoles is not profitable for any of the gaming companies. At the start of the gen they sell them for break even or a loss. As the gen the progresses they start making a few bucks, but most of that goes into R&D of the next console.

The profits come from the subscription services and game sale royalties. Whether that is on PC or XB MS couldn't care less. The only reason companies make consoles is that 90% of people do not want to fiddle around with a PC configuration in their living room. By making consoles they make it easy for people to play games on their TVs and therefore expand the size of the gaming market. There is always all this hype over the console wars, but in reality the consoles is simply an end to a means not the sole driver.

@Christopher
Yes, MS definitely makes more from Windows Store game sales.

[ocelot07]

This is true. Microsoft will get my £1 for that month of Gamepass I take out to play this game.

[Obscure_Observer]

@The_Sage

When the time come, most of you will have very week PCs in a direct comparisson with the SX!

[fathertime4464]

@thesage
The problem with your statement is that yeah most of us do have PC's, not all of us have high end PC's, and lastly very few of us have a pc that can play it at the supposed fidelity of the next xbox. But let me guess, graphics don't matter?! Lmao you sony fans are pathetic

[Wasabi]

@XiN

Sadly?

I'd be happy if this game came to PlayStation, Switch or any other platform for that matter.

I don't believe in locking gamers out of playing a game simply because they bought a different platform.

The more people get to enjoy a game, the better, why you'd wish any different is beyond me.

[PrinceOfAnger]

You could say the same thing about Sony exclusives , Oh wait..

[Imalwaysright]

I would as well but that's because I'm a gamer that cares more about my fellow gamers than multi billion $ companies.

[BlackTar187]

Lol virtue signaling

[Wasabi]

@BlackTar187

***"Lol virtue signaling"***

One of the best examples of an ad hominem comment seen on N4G.

Rather than address what I wrote you choose to question my motivation for making the argument, whilst making no attempt to refute my position in the discussion.

Let's assume I am virtue signalling, does this make my point that as a gamer things would be better if all games were available on all systems any less veracious?

[spicelicka]

Still a good reason to own an Xbox, just like it's a good reason to own a PS4 for Death stranding, which is also coming to PC.

[BillyG0AT]

sadly? what kind of gamer would want to be restricted in the video games they can play?

[NeoGamer232]

Brand fanboys that think that eventually certain companies will drop out because they don't sell enough consoles.

What people don't realize is that consoles are a form factor that are well suited to a certain scenario. Just like desk top PCs are for another scenario, tablet computers for another, phones for another, etc. It isn't about how many you sell of each hardware type. It is more about whether the hardware type you are selling is driving the sale of software, services, and subscriptions.

If being on top was everything then MS would have long ago dropped consoles. They were third with XB, second/third with X360, and they were second this generation (Yes, many people forget that the Wii U started the generation not the switch). IF MS were dropping consoles that would've already happened.

[moriarty1889]

just like death stranding not a true exclusive cuz it is going to pc like this game......oh well.

[YodaCracker]

Death Stranding will be on a Sony platform and a Microsoft platform. Hellblade 2 will be on two Microsoft platforms.

[Christopher]

Sadly for whom?

[Kiwi66]

Whats sad about more people getting to play it

[slavish0]

Lol, stealth troll, nice 🤭

[lazyboyblue]

Good. Those are bad for the consumer.

[CaptainHenry916]

Yup don't even need to get the Series X to play it. This actually might affect Microsoft sales for the series X

[Thundercat77]

Not having true console exclusives will hurt the Xbox console... at least if they pretend to compete against Sony and Nintendo.

If they just want to be third place as always then this will be ok.

[rdgneoz3]

They'll just resort to what they did this gen. Not releasing console or game sales figures. Hell, they stopped releasing xbox live user numbers (even when including free users) and resorted to percentage changes...

[ReadyPlayer22]

Lol, you act as if most of the sales are going to be on PC. Ubisoft's quarterly earnings report the same thing. 90%+ of sales are on console. It's the same with Gears.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

No ones going to buy Xbox next time around since PC will have the whole library in addition to every game on steam. Xbox is dead in 2020

[ReadyPlayer22]

Brave Loser thinks Xbox is dead in 2020. When Hellblade 2's Game Award trailer has as many views as Ghost of Tsushima's trailer. And Halo: Infinite's 2019 reveal trailer has more views than GoTs 2018 gameplay reveal.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

The thing is Sony will only see a small cut of Godfall's profits if you buy it off the PSN store. If they decide it to put on it the Epic store then Sony won't be seeing any of the profits because its not a Sony game. HBII MS is getting the profits from Xbox and PC no middle man because its MS owned Ip. These companies aren't charities and certainly don't play fanboy. They need to make money.

3rd party AAA exclusives have and always will prove to help push console and game sellls for a particular platform. 2 best cases GTA 4 on 360 and Destiny on PS4.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

@Ready
People arent going to buy Xbox when the whole library is on PC dufous

[Christopher]

***No ones going to buy Xbox next time around since PC will have the whole library in addition to every game on steam. Xbox is dead in 2020***

Some of us play on consoles instead of PC for a reason.

[pornflakes]

All this bullcrap about PC - to get 12 tflops on a PC you have to buy now (2019) a graphic card for 800 bucks alone.

Only sony fanboys mention the old PC argument ALL THE TIME but only 1% of them owns a true gaming PC machine the rest cant simply afford it - thats a fact.

You cant compare enormous PC costs to a 400-500 bucks console, lol - so xbox will sell like a beast. At the end hardware sales dont matter as MS owns most money with services and Software.

[BioShockGX]

Oh well. Enjoyed the first one but i guess I'll never play 2.

[aconnellan]

“Xbox needs exclusives to encourage people to buy the console”

*gets exclusives*

“Oh well guess I’m never playing that game now”

[BlackTar187]

Except why does the exclusive have to come off a multiplatform?

[Unspoken]

Poor gamers...

[bluebenjamin]

Thats the Fanboy stuff right there it really seems to be a severe mental condition makes me afraid to buy a Playstation because I dont want to be associated with that type of behavior

[SpaceRanger]

The vocal fanbase and Xbox fanboys don’t even support those games. It’s been a pathetic showing for support this gen with the various exclusives they did get.

[Minute Man 721]

@ BlackTar

Like Spider-Man? Just saying

[BlackTar187]

Spiderman 1? How is spiderman a sequel?
I don't know much about the final fantasy story but spiderman by insomniac is nothing like this game.

[FanboysKiller]

Xbox master race!

[leoms]

Hahahahahahahahahaha. That was funny.

[micdagoat19]

Maybe it will be play anywhere then. I love most of the play anywhere games

[The_Sage]

No shit?.. That is pretty shocking considering Microsoft bought Ninja Theory, and that all Xbox games are on PC. My PC is ready.

[pornflakes]

My not and i will for sure not buy a 1000+ gaming machine so SX is my choice :)

[ReadyPlayer22]

Whether you're on Ninja Theory's Twitter, any YouTube video, or Reddit. The port begging for this game is rather high.

[KickSpinFilter]

Kinda like it was for Spider Man

[ReadyPlayer22]

It's just the nature of multiplatform games going exclusive. Most people in the west game on console, so exclusives get people upset.

[Imalwaysright]

That's because normal gamers don't want to be restricted on where they play their games. Only useless fanboys care about game A or B being exclusive to any given platform because it gives them a (pathetic) sense of superiority.

[Knushwood Butt]

It's great that even the most rabid xbox fans on this site are suddenly cool about this and embrace not being restricted where they play their games.

Not like their hand was forced in the matter!

[Imalwaysright]

Knushwood Butt

Struck a nerve huh? It's great? Ok but you know what is really funny? You calling me a "rabid xbox fan" when I never owned a xbox console in my life but by all means keep being fullfilled by your pathetic sense of superiority.

[Pancit_Canton]

No port begging here. The first one is mediore imo. Most people overhyped it too much. I don't really get the appeal of the 2nd one imo, specially judging from the trailer.

[PhoenixUp]

This was obvious. It would’ve been more notable to list a future Microsoft title that is coming to either Xbox One or Xbox Series X but not PC

[SyntheticForm]

Microsoft aren't going to do that - they want their games available on more platforms. PC is huge for them.

[pornflakes]

They have to release it on PC as this game will be day one on Gamepass hwich also PC gamers can use.

People still dont want to get it that MS is going a completely different way.

[nishanth123]

Cool... I'll be PS5 and PC next Gen then.

[Unspoken]

Sweet! Most are already doing that this gen.

[mezati99]

if it's on steam it's a day one buy from me

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Awesome I'll just get it on PC as it has the whole Xbox library anyway

[Imalwaysright]

Was anyone expecting any different?

[XabiDaChosenOne]

Hey, If Xbox fans are ok with this than so am I 🤷‍♂️

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Its almost comical whenever MS games also come to PC. Quantum Break on PC the very first game Xbox game to be on PC OMG! Ori on PC OMG! Sea Of thieves on PC OMG! Crackdown Gears 5 on PC OMG! it was stated in 2016 that MS games were going to be on PC moving forward. So expect it every.,..single...time.

Edit; Also wanna add the realistic adoption rate of a next gen computing PC to run HBII will be very small anyway. I don't know anyone who has PC ready for this sorta game yet. It's gonna be very niche at least for a little while.

[Traecy]

Common sense. Not buying the XB because of it,got to see an impressive next gen AAA exclusive XB library before I considered buying one.

[jambola]

Ninja Theory "to all the people that supported this game on ps4, fuck you"

[moriarty1889]

they are owned by MS now so its obvious ps consoles arent getting it anymore.Just like Spiderman being ps exclusive since sony bought Insomniac. works both ways.

[MrVux000]

Insomniac's Spiderman game was not mutliplatform, the only thing it shares with other spiderman games is that is based on Marvel's comic book series character, so it's is not a sequel to begin with.

Hellblade 2 on the other hand was already in development pre-Microsoft requisition and is a *direct* sequel to a multiplatform game.

So its not the same thing.

The same thing would be if Sony contracted Insomniac games to make a sequel to Sunset Overdrive, then it would be the same ''fuq you'' to Xbox fans as Hellblade 2 was for Playstation fans.

[SyntheticForm]

They were bought.

Do you really think that the employees of Ninja Theory want to slight or punish PlayStation gamers? They're owned by Microsoft now.

I loved Sunset Overdrive, and if Insomniac make a sequel, I won't consider it a "fuck you" when it's a PlayStation exclusive. Then again I wouldn't mind, and I also buy all consoles.

[TheHateTheyGive]

It will be on game pass for sure, so if i dont get the series x ill play it on pc.

[ibrake4naps]

Oh good,they're still doing the pc thing. I'll feel good with just my pc and ps5.

[AnubisG]

If it's on PC and Xbox, than it's not exclusive. Let's not kill the meaning of words ok? People have done that enough in the past 5-6 years or so. Video game exclusives mean that a particular game can only be found on one system. When that game is on two systems, it's NOT an exclusive anymore. Xbox and PC are two different systems.

[Unspoken]

So apps exclusive to Android or iOS are not exclusive when it can run on any Android or any iOS device....mmmmk, but no.

And Xbox is running Windows and Direct X...

[AnubisG]

What??? No....

Think of it this way:

iOS = xbox
Android = PC

So, for example iOS is a closed ecosystem only on iPhones and nothing else. Just like xbox is a closed ecosystem.

Android is an open ecosystem on many types of phones just like windows is on many different types of PCs.

So if a game is available both on iOS and android, it's not an exclusive. If it's only avilable on iOS OR android than it's an exclusive.

In order for a game to be exclusive, it must be only available on one platform. Why is this so hard to understand?

If your girlfriend or boyfriend is having relations with other people, than you aren't exclusive. Do you understand?

[Unspoken]

But you didn't address the second reinforcement to my point. Both systems run Windows and are owned by the same developer.

This might make it easier:
iOS = PlayStation (Single iteration hardware), you wont find PlayStation games on any other device type
Android = Xbox + PC (Multiple iterations of hardware), you will find Xbox games on Xbox's and various configurations of PC. Xbox is not a closed ecosystem.

[monkey602]

There's a glimmer of hope for provided my PC meets the bar. I kinda hoped there's be a current gen version too.
Because unless Sony completely shits the bed and I think that's unlikely, there's no chance I'm buying a Microsoft console again

[TheHunter81]

And this is why the only thingS you will ever need is a PC and PS4.

[SugarSoSweet]

The tweet says Xbox & PC not the Xbox Series X& PC. Please read more carefully......

[BrainSyphoned]

Happy to still have Forza on my PC and everything else on Steam (including Halo) or on PlayStation (PS exclusives and Epic exclusives)

[ziggurcat]

This needed no confirmation.

[bluefox755]

So...still no reason to buy an Xbox then. Good to know.

[TheHateTheyGive]

This might also come to base og xbox and the X!

PC? Then I have no reason to get New Xbox. Saves me money. Thanks.

[Garodor]

So it's not exclusive ...

[drunkenspy007]

sweet, no reason to get xbox yet

[LucidIllusion]

ok

[Spenok]

In other news; Water is wet!

[i3eyond the Circle]

Is PC really the master race when mere fraction of a percentage of pc gamers will be able to run at the fidelity of the console?

And yes... we knooooow you guys will be getting it on your “supercomputers” with dual sky net cores cooled by the nearest rivers current.. for years now I’m sure you’ve spent thousands... yet understanding getting a series x over a pc for hellblade is an impossible concept to grasp.

[_LarZen_]

Weird how “everyone” suddenly has a capable gaming PC and a PS4.

How convenient...fanboys are so pathetic :D

[SyntheticForm]

And Microsoft will still get the money they earned from a day's work. Wherever they buy it, Microsoft gets a slice of it. I bet that burns - knowing they can't get around that.

Ain't releasing on PlayStation - so if you want to play, you're going to have to hand Microsoft the money you made. PC, Xbox Series X - doesn't matter. Phil Spencer's wide grin is owning you as you hand Microsoft your money, whether it be on PC or Xbox.

[sampsonon]

meaning anyone can play it, including sony gamers. it's not Exclusive.

[Dissidia]

Not all of those “Sony gamers” are going to buy a PC to play this. So sure anyone “can” play it.

But only those who have a PC already, already plan to build one, or have an Xbox/plan to buy one will be playing it.

[sampsonon]

what's a pc? I'm a playstation gamer. never heard of this pc thingy you're talking about.
it must be pretty niche.

[Knightofelemia]

I figured the sequel would be an exclusive since the first game was released multiplatform before Microsoft purchased the studio.

[C-H-E-F]

That moment when you just finished your PC build after telling everyone that buying an Xbox for exclusives is pointless when you can Build a PC and have the same exclusives and still enjoy Playstation exclusives :) BLISS

[gamer7804]

if its made by a Microsoft Studio, its going to be Microsoft platform exclusive. There might be some special cases where it is MP heavy title like Minecraft or something along that line, but for the most part this setup should be assumed if its a MS Studio title.

[Flewid638]

PC version it is.

[TheGamez100]

I mean it was obv it'd come to PC since mcsfts been really putting their games on the platform lol. I'm pretty sure the rest of their 1st party will too.

[DefaultComment]

I'll gladly get it for PC,cause I'm not buying their console...I love their software, no their hardware.

[jznrpg]

Ok 👌

[whitbyfox]

I’m sure Senua’s Sega is on Dreamcast

[Xavi4K]

Ehat did you expect guys ? Ps4 and switch version?? Its a Microsoft studio this fits with their agenda.

[slavish0]

PC or xbox m$ gets your money. Smart move

[greywolf39]

Then it is not exclusive. If a game is coming to 2 platforms it is not exclusive. And this game is comming to pc

[pornflakes]

Same goes then also to uncharted... the series released also on the VITA

[Tedakin]

Well that was obvious.

[ScootaKuH]

Well, there's a surprise, since they own the studio who are developing it

[FanboyPolice]

I have a PC. I'm happy I will be able to play this game.

[pornflakes]

They should also bring it (maybe later) to steam and Epic game store. The more money they can make the better for theim to buy even more studios in the nearest future.

[TechnoGoat]

That's not surprising at all... That's why I'll be upgrading the PC and Buying PS5 cause this will be the case with everything on Xbox.. (Which is a smart move by MS)

[BioDead]

And this needed to be told? isn't it obvious Senua games going to be microsofts games since IT BOUGHT THAT DEVELOPER! cheez, IQ level.

[gold_drake]

[Dissidia]

Just commenting to let us know how not bothered you are. ;)

[gold_drake]

[leejohnson222]

Does anyone know what the word exclusive means ? Its not exclusive to more than one place

[Benficaman]

Microsoft is service company provider. It bet sooner than latter all their "own" games Will be available every where, even on Sony machines

[bellome]

Exclusives that are not exclusive to one system. smh

[Dissidia]

Love to see it.

[J-DARKnes]

You dont say?

[CrimsonWing69]

Seems to be the trend; exclusive on a console and PC.

[Dissidia]

True, same with the PlayStation titles also available on PC

[Donnie81]

No problem because all PlayStation owners have a banging gaming rig so it’s all good

[PyroMessiah86]

Awesome. I'll be playing it on Xbox Series X and PC play anywhere. Ü

The amount of console war salt in this thread is so sad. Group up people. We are all gamers here no matter what system. Respect each other.

[DigitallyAfflicted]

strong start into next gen. There might be hope for Xbox after all.

[Thundercat77]

Agoording to a certain group...

Death Stranding PS4 exclusive for a year and then on PC = multiplatform.

Hellblade 2 release on Xbox and PC = exclusive.

[LucidIllusion]

I thought we knew this already. Recycling stories are we?
