The Initiative took to Twitter to provide an update on the development of Perfect Dark after news broke that Embracer Group had entered into an agreement to purchase Crystal Dynamics. Crystal Dynamics will continue to work on Perfect Dark alongside the Initiative.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.

It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
Still don't quite know what the point in the initiative is.. supposed to be this massive studio that cranked out "AAAA" games.
After the announcement of Perfect Dark, I thought it would be Xbox's answer to Naughty Dog, or at least something along those lines. A lot of the talent has since left, so I am really worried about the future of this developer, seems like a waste of time and effort at this stage. Might have just been better to buy Crystal Dynamics themselves looking back.
AAAA
The Initiative sounds like they only there to brainstorm some ideas and then find some other developer to start the project like Comcept did to Mighty No.9 with Inti Creates handling most of the game development.
Why don't they take The Initiative to actually make games?
