Spread the word. Mojang has just announced a new world of adventures for their new game Minecraft: Dungeons, a single and multi-player game.
Sony has revealed the PlayStation Plus March 2023 free games and Premium/Extra game catalog lineup during State of Play.
Dungeons and Ghostwire being in PS+ shows that MS are not blocking off their titles from coming to PS+, provided Sony are willing to pay (which is a fair ask).
Lol, you are getting desperate.
And careless as a result. You forgot that MS is absolutely blocking Zenimax titles from PlayStation. New entries in legendary multiplatform game series such as Elder Scrolls or Doom will not be appearing on PS5, or PS+ for that matter. Starfield isn't coming to PS5 either.
Well, maybe they can work out a deal with MS to bring those games to PlayStation? MS has already said they will bring their games to Switch.
For PS Plus Extra subscribers it's a good month with a spread of some big third-party games.
Personally, I hope Tchia plays as good as it looks and sounds.
I really hope Sony dosen't strike a deal. I hope they focus on what they do and let all those games fail now that they arent on PS.
@venom, I am surprised more people aren't talking about tchia. Been waiting for it since last yr. Awesome that is going to br on ps plus
That ps plus deal could've been worked out before. You don't know that. Stop spewing bs dude
Worked out before? They acquired Mojang in 2014, Zenimax in 2021.
Similarly, the PS+ Extra/Premium tiers didn't even exist until March 2022.
None of this stuff was 'worked out before'.
You are right. Of course they worked out before, because they already planned this for the plus service. Sony isn't run by a second hand car salesmen
@dark
So Sony, sometime before 2014, signed a deal for a game that wouldn't exist until 2020, so that they could bring that game to PS+ in 2023?
Seems unlikely.
Sony had to have been working toward those tiers for ps plus for some time, negotiating deals etc for quite some time that ain't gonna happen overnight.
I'm referencing ghostwire. Maybe you know something I don't and ghostwire had been in development since 2014. Idk what your talking about. Contracts can also be renegotiated to. You ever seen that. Happens all the time. Especially in sports. So it's not a brand new concept.
@Shinoff 2014 was a reference to Mojang. Dungeons (2020) is in there. Microsoft has owned that studio since 2014. So it's very unlikely this was a 'pre-acquisition leftover deal'.
Clearly negotiated a new contract and paid for at least that game.
From what the PS Plus staff have said before on the PS blog these deals are often made months in advance. They don't usually set these up years prior. However, things are clearly different in the case of Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo.
Sony paid for exclusivity for both games, and both games launched or will launch on PS Plus one year after release. It's likely a way for Sony to steal some thunder from the games launching on Xbox and GP the same month.
That's exactly what happened with Deathloop. So I imagine we'll be hearing about an Xbox release of Ghostwire in the next couple weeks.
Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo are subject to pre-existing agreements. It was likely already agreed ***with Bethesda*** to come to PS Now (or its equivalent) 1 year after its PS5 release, just like Deathloop did.
It's unlikely that they paid MS anything for it, and if they did, Sony probably availed of an option already stipulated in their contract which could also include a parity clause.
I'm pretty sure you understand these things.
PS+ Premium/Extra didn't exist when Sony signed the Deathloop/Ghostwire contracts.
Also, Dungeons came out 6 years after Microsoft acquired Mojang, so obviously no pre-acquisition contract existed there.
Damn, somebody doesn't understand that even if it didn't exist at that time you can put on the contract...
@Orchard
PS Plus Extra/Premium is a relaunch/rebrand of PS Now, and almost certainly did not invalidate anything in the contract ... unless you're claiming that it was horrendously written. lol.
I already explained this before you replied - "to come to PS Now (or its equivalent)". We know you understand these things.
Also, I didn't even mention Minecraft Dungeons, Orchard ... 😑
@Orchard, there was still a subscription service regardless. Let’s not all act like we know how the negations went or how they are conducted. Everyone here is a keyboard warrior, especially you.
Desperate Orchard at it again. You realize that all of recent & upcoming Zenimax/Bethesda games are console exclusive to Xbox? How come MS is not blocking off their titles from coming to PS?!
I don’t give 2 pieces of crap regarding the Activision deal, but Zenimax is a big deal. I’d take Doom, Fallout, Starfield over COD anyway. But the point of the Zenimax deal was to bolster what MS is currently lacking top tier exclusives. If I were MS, I don’t think I’d be giving the competition those games.
As a FU@ing Dumb early adopter of BF2042 (100 euros gold edition), one more reason for me to NOT give a dime anymore to EA for any game they release in the future. I will wait for them to be over discounted or free. F-EA !! The game is only NOW barelly playable ....
Not a whole lot for me this month. Not a huge deal I wanna check out ghostwire but I'd rather get the physical.
Why can't you check it out to see if you'd like it with this service before you buy? There's a game trial too, I think.
That makes no sense, just play Ghostwire from plus and get physical whenever it's like <$10?
How can you not be interested in Tchia?
And if you missed out on Immortals Fenyx Rising, that is an amazing game.
The Minecraft spin-off train keeps rolling as Minecraft: Legends nears its release date, and hopefully it will be better than its predecessors.
One of the great things about Minecraft Dungeons is that it can provide tons of building inspiration for Minecraft. However, there are a lot of things in Minecraft Dungeons that don't exist in Minecraft proper, so I've been thinking about how some of them could possibly be implemented into OG Minecraft.
So they’re skipping consoles? That’s pretty dumb.
This is what they've been working on instead of filling the main game with stuff to keep players going...I mean most people have to turn to mods now for the simplest features which should have been added years ago, things like wallpaper, sofas, lamps etc or more weather effects, more things for the Nether, a Heaven like world, more mechanical things to make such as lifts. Just seems so many things they could improve on but they are just so slow to do it.
Terraria is only a 2D side scrolling game I know but that game always gets good updates.
