An acclaimed Xbox exclusive is going multiplatform this year

[Legal]

A lot of people consider Hi Fi Rush Xbox’s best game.

A lot of people have also been saying microsofts ‘smaller’ games are better than their bigger games. It makes sense that they are panicking over losing something they thought they had an advtange over other platforms on

I suppose losing the ability to joke about timed exclusives means something, but it's really not as serious as they made it.

It's the fact that after mixed messaging from the Xbox CFO and the Head of Microsoft Gaming, Xbox is publishing a game on competing platforms.

What seems to make Xbox fans miffed id the ambiguity of it all.

I can understand that too, but ultimately, those games are getting published on other platforms because they didn't get the audience someone making decisions decided it should've had within the Microsoft ecosystem. A lot of these people that are pissed off have themselves to blame for not actually doing anything beyond putting it in their Play Later queue.

The reality is that for some of these smaller games, either they eventually hit non Microsoft platforms, or Microsoft starts engaging in plan and pricing fukkery. If it means more of those games get made, I'd rather it be timed exclusives.

This your 2nd time saying you don’t care

He cared that he didn't say it loud enough and with his chest the first time. So he's doubling down on how little he doesn't care about it and wants to remind everyone about that.

Also just remember that if you disagree, he'll let you know how much he doesn't care about it, with his fists.

It's a wrap @Gizmo_Duck was right. Satya def made the call that Phil failed too hard to gain traction with hardware and wants to get that money back from opening their wallet. Phil and company really failed upwards and this wouldn't have happened with Peter Moore. If you game mostly on xbox I advise you to to not fully invest in their digital store because they can easily pull the plug imo

I legit thought Sea of Thieves would never leave XBox/PC. That's actually pretty crazy to me.

Might go triple wood on ps4/ps5 too

Yeah, its a wrap. I wouldn't be shocked if Forza Horizon will be on other platforms and they'll try and put Halo too. I think Phil def got the call from Satya that xbox console sales lagging is not going to cut it

Just a matter of time before GP is truly platform agnostic.

Hell, go ahead and launch PS Plus for PC too.

I’m OK with that.

This. Idk why PS Plus or at least the classics/older games aren't on PC yet.

If I was Sony I'd be porting over all of my PS3/PS2 era games or opening up a launcher to at least stream them on PC.

Like I’ve been saying, the narrative is getting all fukked up. First it was xbox series s and x are leading the generation, then it was console sales don’t matter, then it was all about gamepass, microsoft don’t gotta sell games the traditional way.

Now it’s microsoft is smart to sell games on other platforms. Slowly buy surely they are getting there
