Even if Microsoft goes third party Sony will still not allow Gamepass on their system.

It's garbage, I bought it on Steam at a huge discount once, just to see what the hype was about. Shooting bullet sponge insect looking enemies ain't the wave. Had to get a refund :manny:

there was a time when I held out hope for this but with PS+ evolving there’s literally no need for game pass to ever be on that platform and nintendo is nintendo so they’re content being in a very successful bubble so I don’t see game pass being on there either…so it’s basically just gonna stay on xbox/PC

I have both and honestly I if a game is on both and it isn’t specifically built for ps5 haptics I’ll just get it on xbox as I believe the elite controller is the best and the xbox interface is more convenient for me.

For example, ps5 requires you to manually setup a wired connection instead of just recognizing it.

Also the elite controller is better for competitive shooters in my opinion.

That said, I get it.

At the end of the day, if you ain’t broke having some type of hybrid setup is easy to do and worth it.

They would allow gamepass on their system, but it will be a gimped version that only includes Microsoft first party games. Then it will probably be like EA Play where you might not get games day one. There's no way Microsoft puts day ones on gamepass when they most likely have to give Sony a cut on subscription fees too.

No. Call of Duty is a Microsoft first party game that sells many millions of copies on PlayStation. They not gonna want to give up those sales. No Game Pass in any form on PlayStation unless forced.

Remember sony fought against EA Play.

They reluctantly allowed it, but that was before they really wanted to grow their own subscription service. Gamepass is to close of a competitor to PS+ for them to put the service on their consoles.

Beside that, Microsoft has Zero incentive to try to get gamepass on playstion. Every playstation owner right now has a device that can access gamepass. As cloud gaming becomes more common and accepted through things like the PS portal, people will access gamepass through whatever device they want. No need to come up with some gimped version of gamepass and probably overcharge for it and give sony a huge cut.

All of this is just wishful thinking from sony stan’s that think playstation is more important than it actually is. Just in the story that spawned this thread, dude explained that there are about 100 million playstation players and 1 billion players outside of playstation. Now why in the hell would microsoft spend any significant resources on trying to squeeze some of those loyal customers from playstation when they can reach for Billions??

Dudes whole perspective is “console warz” not reality :smh:

He did not.

The cac tweets said it.
"It's a bit of a change of strategy. Not announcing anything broadly here, but our mission is to bring our first-party experiences [and] our subscription services to every screen that can play games," Stuart said. "That means smart TVs, that means mobile devices, that means what we would have thought of as competitors in the past like PlayStation and Nintendo."


That’s a direct quote from him. We want to bring our subscription service to everything with a screen. Directly mentioned PlayStation.
