Today, we announced the four fan-favorite Xbox games coming to Nintendo Switch and Sony platforms this spring. Our studios have drawn on their multi-platform experience to open their worlds to even more players.
The latest US sales data is out, and while hardware may be down for the big 3, software is ruling the day, including Stellar Blade topping the charts
Must be weird for Xbox fans to see Sea Of Thieves at number 4 on the NPD charts
Well, would you look at that Sony! Guess there’s an audience after all for this stuff.
I wonder where the change from "NPD" to "Circana" ranks on the chart of lamest rebrands? And yes I know it changed awhile ago it just annoys me every time I see it.
Stellar Blade deserves it, it's just a gorgeous well-optomized working right out of the box game. Would plat all over again.
Josh Sawyer is a name that has been familiar to RPG fans for decades. He's worked on Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights 2, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and most recently Pentiment. How did he get into game development, how has his design philosophy changed over the years, and why did he decide to do Pentiment a little differently?
Those are some great games. Icewind Dale I & II are underrated.
If Larian made Icewind Dale III, I'd lose my mind.
What a fantastic, thorough interview.
Amid the studio’s shutdown, a Tango Gameworks developer has questioned whether its many awards were not enough for the Xbox management.
I'm sorry but I'm going for cringe *insert madara got betrayed by black zetsu here* but fr tango it's never enough for Microsoft. Microsoft are cannibals imo
You have talent but MS is IP hoarding so only the biggest IP's will survive, a few new ones might slip through but if they don't sell like the big titles like COD or Fallout then bye bye and thanks for the money we'll make from continuing to sell your games.
This is legitimately heartbreaking, you pour all you got into your craft, you're recognized for it, you're successful... Just to be discarded like leftovers
Hopefully they can move on and continue, whether forming their own studio, or getting a job elsewhere. This dev is exactly right.
So all four games will be releasing on PlayStation, and Hifi Rush and Sea of Thieves aren't on the Switch (but maybe they'll release on its successor).
By the way, isn't this the first time a Rare game is releasing on a PlayStation console?
April 30th for Sea of Thieves... garrr
So it begins.
This leaks were spot on. AA and LS games only makes sense. If these games do fairly well they'll do more AA and LS day and date eventually. However if they don't do all that well. Phil even alluded to it last week. Heavy monetization and nickel and diming everything.
Yeah no thanks.
Hope those who haven’t played these enjoys them!
