Not to be out shined, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X has been announcing their exclusives as well, for the consoles release in November 2020.
Announced in 2020, Playground Games' open-world action RPG has seen sporadic updates and departures but still no release date.
You could say the same for any number of games that were stupidly announced during pre-production. Elder Scrolls 6 & Perfect Dark are current examples, Blade is another recent one and in the past Mass Effect Andromeda and Cyberpunk 2077 come to mind.
I don't think this game is in any trouble. For a start, Playground Games are one of the few under MS Studios that actually have a track record of delivering on time and with quality. We got a trailer last year and I'd fully expect there to be something more substantial at the next showcase in the summer.
No dramas here - just another victim of Microsoft's incompetence. They simply had to announce several games way too early because they had nothing else to talk about.
The same thing that happens to any project when you announce it far too early. Perfect Dark, Fable, The Elder Scrolls 6, Star Wars KOTOR Remake...you actually have to, I don't know, make the game?
I'm fairly confident this game will see the light of day, as Playground have released 5 Forza games of quality and on schedule. Think it was just revealed too early.
Xbox Game Pass has some great single-player experiences, but nowadays, it's all about getting together with friends and family. Thankfully, there's a surprisingly extensive library of multiplayer titles on Game Pass to bring everyone together.
PS5-exclusive Helldivers 2 is so popular that Xbox players want a taste of democracy, and now Halo Forge will be the battleground for a Helldivers 2 remake.
Just get a PS5 and be done with it. Four Xbox exclusives are making their way over with more to follow down the road.
I remember the good old days of Halo 3 and the Forge. Some wild game games came from it.
Don't get this mentality. Nothing is stopping these people from buying a PS5
I don't get fanboyism and refusing to purchase a competitors console.
HA! All the while Xbox games are popping up in PS stores. To be honest, on day exclusivity will probably be gone and each will just provide a streaming service bundle, but why not have fun while we can.
"Not to be out shined" but here's a bunch of exclusives that won't come out for another year or more. OK.
This opinion piece comes across as desperate and pathetic. They are multiplat games, they're all coming to PC.
Some have no release dates... or even release YEARS.
I like to reach for punchlines in my comments but it doesn’t seem humane to do even basic mockery here.
MS has a good PR engine going for it right now thats for sure.
The media is trying so hard to make Xbox seems relevant. It's so transparent and a little sad. .
