Microsoft recently acquired Bethesda and it seems like we're finally going to see what that means for the gamers at the Xbox Bethesda showcase.
The Epic Games Store has a GOTY Edition, AAA title they want you to add to your library.
This is a great looking list.
Summer Game Fest is happy to reveal the first 55 partners set to participate in SGF activities this June.
Well regarded insider, NateTheHate, has said that more Xbox games could be coming to PS5 'this holiday season' followed by Starfield in 2025.
That would be a great game to go multiplat. I would definitely pick that one up on PS5.
That would be an absolutely fantastic score for PSVR2 if they have any VR support plans! MS Flight Simulator (2020) is one of my favorite VR experiences over on PC. Not so much a game, but one hell of a VR experience!
Even if the rumor was true and if that did happen. I still wouldn't play or own a game that is classified as open world just to run into invisible force fields.
Then what is your solution to open worlds that obviously have to have a point where they must end?
Wow you're such a tough and smart guy taking that stance! You're really changing the world Barlos.
If it came to ps+ ill try it, but im certainly not spending my money on it. I wanted this game to be awesome and it just seems so incomplete
Exactly. It's fine to rent it on Xbox so why should they expect people to actually buy it on PlayStation? They don't deserve your money.
send phil, some more dev kits
we need all xbox exclusives games ported before phil shuts them down
We were often ridiculed by Xbox enthusiasts, but it’s essential to understand that Microsoft's $100 billion investment was aimed at generating profit, not merely pleasing fans with Day 1 Game Pass releases.
Microsoft should consider releasing all its games, including flagship titles like Halo and Gears of War, on PlayStation. This strategy would maximize revenue while still releasing games day one on GP, money which could then be reinvested into the future of Xbox. While a few loyal fans might be upset, this approach makes the most business sense in the long run. Even put forza on PS5 get the sales. On Xbox gamers get these games day on GP while other platforms pay full price. Win win
Huh? "We were often ridiculed by Xbox enthusiasts" Its the other way around, their ship is sinking, and they have known this for some time.
Once these acquisitions were announced, many Xbox fans felt that the primary aim was to take games away from PlayStation. Any suggestion that Microsoft wanted to maximize its return on their $100 billion investment was often dismissed with claims that Microsoft doesn’t need PlayStation or Nintendo to profit from these acquisitions.
Historically, Xbox operated independently within Microsoft, for better or worse. However, with such a significant financial commitment, Microsoft's goal is clearly to maximize revenue. They can still release these games on Game Pass at launch and also sell them at full price on other platforms. While some Xbox fans might react negatively if Xbox games appear on PlayStation, from a business perspective, it makes sense to leverage a platform with a much larger install base.
Phil Spencer and his team are under pressure to grow revenue and profit. It is becoming increasingly clear that achieving this growth solely within the Xbox ecosystem is challenging. Many Xbox gamers now expect Microsoft to cover the costs of games through Game Pass, rather than purchasing them outright. Considering that Xbox, now in its fourth generation, accounts for only 15-20% of overall software sales while its competitors are setting sales records, it is crucial for Microsoft to explore broader strategies to ensure profitability.
You clowns were never ridiculed by Xbox enthusiasts. They are the underdogs and a massive minority and that statement is made up nonsense.
You guys need to quit playing victim in the fake war of console wars. The loudest fans are PlayStation fans and it's not even close.
There is only two thing. Launch date and lack of bugs.

"we're finally going to see what that means for the gamers"
This is what I've been waiting for, showing Bethesda games on xbox means nothing as these games were always coming out on xbox. I want to know if MS has banned other systems from getting these games and what that means going forward.
MS taking Bethesda makes no difference to xbox owners but for the larger gaming world it would be nice to know.
I know it's too much to ask for a full TES 6 reveal but it would be great if they could at least tell us where it's going to take place.
Besides Elder Scrolls 6, these are all going to happen.
