If they want to be on other consoles so much they should have let Dead Rising 3 come to PS4.

They could get rid of xbox and just focus on PC then.

[Microsoft buys Steam]

[–] LamarjbYT@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They might soon. They’re already focusing much less on the consoles.

[–] CwazyCanuck@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I hope they don’t stop with consoles. PlayStation having no competition might cause them to stop pushing.

[–] munitionchipsintoys@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I honestly think that's what they're going to do lol. Also freaking xcloud delivering xgp on TVs even now. That's where they are heading.

[–] ariphron@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

This is for them to sell all the studio game developers they been buying recently to Sony Nintendo users and pay an extra subscription to Microsoft to play those games. Example. Diablo and call of duty

[–] rabidbot@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I also want this.

[–] roshanpr@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (3 children)

That's BS cause they are not even compatible with open platforms like the steam deck .

[–] Eqjim@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I use game pass and xcloud every day on my Steam Deck? MS even provides a guide on their own support website.

That would necessitate a consistent high down and up speeds. I still get tearing, resolution issues, and input lag and im regularly pulling in excess of 300mbps wired.

[–] atothew@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah they are not even trying for native games on there. I guess they don’t like my money 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] DraginDeezNutzAround@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They’d be willing to give Sony the ability to sell consoles without competition in the hopes the consumer will want to use gamepass on it?

This feels risky without any long term benefit

[–] munitionchipsintoys@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

the long term benefit I can see is probably getting gamepass on their rival's systems. That's a huge win isn't it? I mean it's already on some TVs. More gamepass avenues = more customers?

[–] srebew@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

As long as I get trophies and not Xbox achievements

[–] Supergigala@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

never going to happen, Nintendo cant even get their own shit to work properly on switch

[–] reidzen@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Praise Gaben

[–] redActarus@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

How about the Steam Deck?

[–] Ashencroix@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

While I would like Xbox to really implement this, I hope they don't abandon making new generations of Xbox consoles. Sony needs to have competitors to prevent them from being overly stupid with their decisions.

[–] Bylak@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

If this is the gateway to cross platform play then hell yes do this!

[–] CliffMainsSon@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

They could just release their games on PS. I would buy a couple of them but not really interested in a subscription for that

[–] LetMePushTheButton@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Steam Deck gonna disrupt all these competitors strategy.

[–] IveKnownItAll@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Called it!

I've said for a year now, MS is looking to exit the console market.

[–] ariphron@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Well ladies and gents it looks like I will soon not be playing any Activision/blizzard games when this hits PlayStation!!

[–] jmo1@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

People in this thread are forgetting PlayStation + extra and premium exist already. Sure there are exclusives that Xbox have on their subscription, but I don’t think it’ll be worth it

[–] thisistheSnydercut@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Xbox games available on PS via gamepass! (restricted to playing at 240p probably)

the old netflix on mozilla manuever

[–] aceCaptainSlow@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I'm just thinking how cool it would be to play everything on Game Pass via cloud on my Switch/Whatever The Next Gen Nintendo Console Is.
