Will Stray be on Xbox? The indie game from Annapurna Interactive has proved a huge hit over the past few months, in which you venture on a cyberpunk adventure as a stray cat, and it's capturing people's hearts everywhere. The game released on PS4, PS5 and PC back on Tuesday, July 19th.
With it making such an impression, many are wondering: is Stray coming to Xbox? The answer is not yet, but there are signs that we might see Stray on Xbox eventually. Here's everything we know so far:
Is Stray Coming To Xbox?
At present we don't have any definitive information surrounding an Xbox release, but that's not to say it won't happen. Currently, the game is out for PlayStation and PC, but the initial 2020 trailer provided an interesting bit of news.
The PlayStation trailer acknowledged its PC release and also placed it as a console exclusive, so that means it's not coming to Xbox, right? Not exactly, as a small disclaimer at the bottom reads: "Console exclusive for a limited time". This would suggest the game is hitting either Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, or even both. Though judging by the game's graphics, a Switch release may be hard to achieve.
What Is Stray's Release Date?
Stray's official release date was July 19th, 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC, and obviously there's no Xbox release date as of yet. It also launched as part of the Extra, Deluxe, and Premium tiers of PlayStation Plus.
With it being a timed console exclusive, Stray's Xbox release date could potentially be anywhere from now until July 2023 or even longer. It's perhaps best not to expect Stray to hit Xbox until 2023 at the earliest - if at all.
I Haven't Heard Of Stray Before. What Type Of Game Is It?
Stray is described as a "third-person cat adventure game". We don't get many of those, so it would be hard to miss this one. You engage with the environment by traversing like a cat, such as sneaking, climbing, and being mischievous.
Various gameplay videos have also showcased Stray's combat elements, as well as adventure game segments where you talk to characters and assist them in their problems. But perhaps the most striking feature is Stray's visual art style, which has made many instantly fall in love with the furry feline.
That's the key info we know about Stray for now. While it's perhaps a bit too early to get excited for an Xbox release, it certainly sounds like it could be arriving on Xbox platforms one day. Just don't expect it for a little while yet.
Are you intrigued by the look of Stray? Let us know in the comments below.

Game pass bound, after timed console exclusivity...maybe. People are gonna hate it on ps4/5, after hearing that. Who knows, by the time I want to grab it on the ps4, it'll either be cheap or on game pass🤞😬
I was excited for this when they first revealed it. Then I watched the presentation last week or whatever and I don’t know, it didn’t look that great to me. Interesting world and you play as a cute cat, but the gameplay looked dull.
Character is interesting but that's about it. Don't really care if comes to xbox or not.
It looks interesting to me. I hope it's good and arrives at Xbox soonish.
@SplooshDmg seven more firearms? Reminds me of biomutant. Wish they'd add that one to gamepass as well.
This and Kena are literally the only games on PS5 I'm excited about after R&C, though I do enjoy GoW. Funny if it ends up on xb or switch.
@John117 Which of hysterical because PS Now came out years before Game Pass!
Idk, maybe. Seems like manufactured hype tbh. It looks ok, but nowhere near as great as something like Death's Door. We're good.
@SplooshDmg I wonder when it'll be announced that Druckman is replacing Ryan and renaming the brand to Play of Ustation. Where every game is just Last of Us reskinned? I mean they already do that, but the name isn't official. Last of us with swords. Last of Us in Space. Last of Us with Greek Gods in Norway because they didn't have GPS in the bronze age.
I'm just hoping the merchandising gets under way. I want Last of Us coffee mugs and Last of Us lunch boxes and Last of Us guitars. Maybe Last of Us Lunchables. Mushroom pizza bites. Last of Us recording mics that make even virtuosos sound like they're playing a tissue box with rubber bands on a closet.
I will keep my eyes on it (and have a proper look if it comes on GP lol)
The Annapurna Showcase was great but some games exclusive to Xbox e.g. Artful Escape, some Switch e.g. Neon White, some PlayStation e.g. Stray.
That I just see it some systems get some games and some don't, why I have/will have all three systems to just play great games regardless of system.
I do get that a multiformat publisher deciding to do this with some games only on one system etc that is a tad annoying.
@SplooshDmg Nah, they'll sell millions to the hardcore Stoners then sales will fall off a cliff. The Stoners will defend it as still the best beer ever made, even if half the hardcore Stoners that bought it absolutely hated it, which will be cited as proof that it's indeed a special beer. Stone will apologize to investors that sales weren't actually as good as the Instagram reports make it seem, but the Stoners will still defend it as amazing. In a year it'll be rebottled in kegs and sold for cheap to chain restaurants.
@John117 what's funny is that sooner or later Sony is going to have something similar, and suddenly the fan boys will LOVE IT lol
Following Stray's appearance at the June 2022 State of Play event, we've refreshed and updated this article accordingly.
Stray, Little Devil Inside and GT7 are the only Playstation exclusives that I'm interested in, but I'm not gonna buy a PS5 just for 3 games, luckily the first 2 are temporal exclusives and GT7, well, I can replace that with Motorsport if someday Turn10 decides to stop slacking around and release the game
I watched the sony state of play last night and 80% of the games showed will eventually come to Xbox I don’t understand why they have this kind of direct almost no first party games it was a capcom and square enix showcase!
Probably just like tunic which everyone thought was xbox exclusive, so I'd say in 6 months it will come to gamepass.
I had heard about this game for a bit now. Finally just watched the gameplay for it. It looks interesting. I’m not a fan of the cat with the computer thing on his back, but I’ll still give this game a try.
@PhhhCough It’s also “free” on the Extra and Premium PlayStation Plus at launch.
Nothing about this caught my interest. It looked 'pretty' from a graphical presentation but the Game-play and world interaction looks extremely dull and boring. Its not something I'd buy or even want to try on a Subscription service. Of course, when its out and/or I know more, I may change my opinion but right now, I'm not interested in playing this regardless of Platform...
@SoulChimera score! I wonder if the higher ps tiers will have a one week trial.
@Chaudy im so glad im not the only one that thinks this...
@PhhhCough
Yourcomment makes it seem like you have a PS4... if you do then I am assuming you have PS+. It is going to PS+ Silver and Gold verions(cant remember the names of the $15 and the $18 versions)
So you wont have to wait if you do happen to have one of those.
I do also agree that it won't be a huge hit on PS because it is an indie game. Most of the bigger/more vocal PS fans seem to really value the more blockbuster gaming experience. N next Summer it will most likely come to Xbox and Game Pass, a few other AnnaPurna games have come to Game Pass before.
I am also wondering i Kena Bridge of Spirits is going to come to Game Pass too when it makes its way to Xbox, I think that game came out August of last year so should be around then or September this year
This was one of the first games they revealed for ps5. Had me super intrigued. But the gameplay videos have lost my interest quite a bit tbh - cat stealth wasn’t doing it for me.
Hopefully they’ll be a decent story around the gameplay.
I would love it if this could come to XBOX. This is one of the games that had me looking at getting a PS5. I wish Xbox would get more exclusives.

You alright there mate? That’s quite the amusing outburst 😂
I hope everybody gets to play Stray. Im intrigued by it and hope it comes to everyone.
No stray will not be coming to xbox because it is a playstation exclusive game for PS4 PS5 and PC
I'd say its definitely a timed exclusive similar to the games xbox showed at their event like the high on life, scorn, flintlock and Ark 2 etc
So I'd say give it 3-6 months, or maybe longer like kena Bridge of spirits
I'm the absolute last person in the world to go with "but the game is better on PS5 because of Dual Sense." But....the purring......I'm sorry, but the game is best on PS5 or Switch. It needs HD Rumble because purring.
It’s probably timed. If any indie game is exclusive to something it’s pretty much Switch or PC these days, with Xbox and Playstation doing timed deals.
Makes sense, while in general indies are what I care about more these days (Stray looks more interesting than anything else Sony has been marketing, including Dad of War 2) limiting them to Xbox or Playstation would probably legitimately kneecap sales.
@NEStalgia Rumble in controllers always gets turned off for me, messes with my bum shoulder so dual sense and HD rumble miss me with their supposed revolutionary uses. That does sound pretty neat for people that care though.
Cat simulator eh…. Gonna pass on this
I’m intrigued by this game.
Waiting will be hard if I hold out for an Xbox version or give it a shot on my old Pro. Tough decision.
@Sakisa Yeah, I do like rumble in general, but I honestly don't care about the old rumble or the "HD" variants in the newer controllers, after the first week it feels pretty much the same to me, it's not what your brain focuses on with any resolution unless it's a game that depends on the gimmick (1-2-Switch, Astrobot, etc.) But....purring cat......
6 months exclusivity like shadow warrior 3. Tunic is the same but other way round.
@UltimateOtaku91 kena is not coming to xbox. Its a flat exclusive.
I’d be surprised if it was more than a six month exclusive. That seems fairly standard for indie timed exclusives.
@Resi32 I don’t think that’s true. Even the Kena devs said they would look into other platforms after they had a “rest”.
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/kena-xbox-switch-steam/
@NEStalgia have you commented on the wrong post??? What has TLOU got to do with the price of fish???
@PhhhCough it’s free on PS+ extra an premium.
I’m kinda hyped for this game. It looks visually stunning and is def a unique game. Think about it, you’re a stray cat living in a big New York looking city. What adventures must await you??? Will be playing on my PS+ Extra wen i get in at dinner time tomo.
@sjbsixpack LOL, that was a year ago......this is the problem with PXB (Edit, thought I was on push for a moment since it's all PS games being talked about!) necroposting their own articles, comments referencing other related posts from the time are a year out of date when they repost these things
@SplooshDmg @sjbsixpack Ohh, thanks to sploosh admitting what happened I remember it all, yeah, Sploosh and I were going back and forth with the whole shtick, then sploosh deleted his account and all posts so it looks like I was ranting to myself
A year ago.
Sploosh, PXB, you both suck.
@Resi32 really your source?
Because in this interview they said it could go to other platforms
https://segmentnext.com/kena-bridge-of-spirits-interview/
@uptownsoul As Dusk Falls looks boring tbh. Stray looks good.
Though the ‘it won’t sell on Xbox because gamepass exists’ narrative is tedious at this point.
@uptownsoul Death’s Door before it hit gamepass sold quite well actually
Kind of sad people saying that As Dusk Falls is boring and tedious without even playing it. The game not only got a 9 here but it got the same score on IGN and GameSpot. Maybe give it a try since it’s on GamePass before trashing it.
@awp69 I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure about As Dusk Falls until today, but now it’s on the backlog. The reviews actually got me excited for a game for once, but…. still…. It’s backlogged behind Stray, which will actually get played tomorrow, the rest of the backlog is pushed back. It’s actually exciting to have a couple decent looking releases this week. Feels like it’s been a while since new games have looked so interesting.
Dusk Falls looks like trash.
Stray looks boring as hell.
Next...
@somnambulance I’ll definitely be playing both as well as the Hot Wheels DLC on FH5 tomorrow. Big day for gaming for me. Wish at least one of them were live now!
@uptownsoul Can you provide the numbers showing how many copies sold on PC and on Xbox? Because this really does seem to be continuing the ‘Xbox users don’t buy games’ narrative that is still tedious at this point.
It was marketed decently well on Xbox and PC, didn’t hit Gamepass initially, and it sold well. Stray is a higher profile indie in the same vein that I’m sure would do fine numbers on Xbox if it doesn’t come to Gamepass.
Am kind of surprised that they re-published this story but haven’t done much of anything to build up hype for the FH5 Hot Wheels DLC that goes live tomorrow. Can’t wait!
@uptownsoul I'm saying that because you asked for a small game that sold well, so I said Death's Door. You then made a claim that it only sold that well because of PC numbers and I asked you to prove that, which you haven't.
It's also curious that Xbox and PC are quite close in percent on Elden Ring, and Xbox is far ahead on Resident Evil Village.
Either way, roughly 30% of sales on a multiplat isn't nothing and honestly proves how tired the 'Xbox users don't buy games' narrative is. A lot more folks care about Playstation, I have no issue with that or caring about that, sales are going to be higher there. Doesn't mean that Xbox players aren't buying games.
@uptownsoul I mean PS5 still is ahead in consoles sold vs Xbox Series X/S so Elden Ring 32% on PS5 vs 29% on Xbox is pretty dang close considering the hardware advantage. Not sure why RE sold so much less.
UK is also a small subset of sales worldwide, which I haven’t seen.
Regardless, I don’t think game sales on Xbox are insignificant.
My wife would like this game as long as the cat doesn't end up dead at the end like that other game.
@NEStalgia
You're such a crybaby. Get owned by the "same" game according to you. The fact that Spider-man and God of War are the same games to you tells me you really have no clue what makes a game good or understand gameplay. Like at all. Like the rest of your losing arguments. You assume it's the same because of POV. Get a hint bro.
Xbox only has a car simulator to show off the console you upgrade to (since AAA games is why you buy a new next gen console) for 2.5 half years (Since Starfield is coming in in summer 2023 I bet). Only A CAR sim is what you have to show off the xbox series. X. A CAR GAME! I don't even have the slighest clue why fans (fanboys) make comments about companies when theirs aren't pulling up crap to compete. You don't say this to third party devs do you? They have a lot of third person narrative games too. Or nintendo making mario, zelda, mario sports, smash and pokemon yet again.
You have some weird imagination on what could happen at Sony.
@themightyant
Nah. He's def on his feelings. I comeback for one day and I see a comment like that. Makes me vomit. I blocked him.
What's PlayStation Plus Deluxe? I know about the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers but haven't seen Deluxe mentioned anywhere.
@uptownsoul in the UK? I don’t actually think the install base split is that much different as you think.
As of 2019 this report has 4.8 million XB1s in the UK https://www.statista.com/statistics/281835/annual-unit-sales-of-the-xbox-360-in-the-uk/
As of 2022
This reports list 1 million XSX/S in the UK
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-series-x-s-sales-have-topped-1-million-in-the-uk-following-a-record-month/
In 3 weeks the PS5 sold over 1mil in the UK
https://www.vg247.com/ps5-1-million-sales-uk-fastest-playsation
I don’t know how accurate the information is because MS doesn’t report that kind of stuff but that doesn’t seem like that big of difference. Unless MS sold way more consoles than they are admitting to?
@Markatron isn’t Deluxe the version of premium for countries without streaming services.
@uptownsoul Hey, I provided the example you asked for and tried to say it didn't count, but either way, you also made the claim that Stray wouldn't sell on Xbox if it came to it without gamepass and haven't backed that up, so throw that out too.
I think you're using raw numbers to mask the fact that in tracking install bases for Xbox and keeping the numbers the same, it doesn't account for the fact that a lot of the install base on Series S/X are those same people that bought an Xbox One and upgraded. I sincerely doubt Xbox One is pulling in much at this point.
PS5s are still hard to get, a lot of people are either still playing and buying on their PS4 while waiting to get a PS5 or are holding off on buying the games until they get said PS5, because demand is higher for that console. The Series S on the other hand is very, VERY easy to get these days, and reasonably priced, and Series X also isn't much harder to come by these days. It is also a comparatively much smaller install base on the whole than Playstation. There are factors those charts don't account for, but even with all that, again, 30% is not nothing in terms of sales on a multiplat game. I have issues with the claim that Xbox users don't buy games just because gamepass exists.
@uptownsoul yes but the number splits you are using are from the UK and it is possible that the PS5 has outsold the XB1 in that region. Globally no but in that region it could have.
And the split could be 6 million Xboxes to 5 million PS5s. Not accounting for people upgrading their consoles. Ergo the solit would be even less.
@uptownsoul you have a valid point about PS5 alone selling more than Xbox Series + Xbox One combined. Surely both models of Xbox have a bigger install base than PS5. However, you're missing another important piece of information. PS5 is outselling PS4, that has a much bigger install base than both PS5 and Xbox Series + One.
How come Resident Evil Village sold almost three times more copies in PS5 than in PS4 when we know that there are multiple times more PS4's then PS5 consoles around?
And if those games are selling better on PS5 than on PS4, I think it would seem reasonable to think they're selling better on Xbox Series than on Xbox One as well.
Maybe people who own the newer, most powerful consoles are more hardcore gamers in general and they tend to buy more games that are not called FIFA or Call of Duty than people that are still gaming on older platforms?
@uptownsoul Stuff that's on gamepass will not sell as well as stuff that isn't, that's common sense. You made the claim Stray wouldn't sell if it WASN'T on gamepass, so proceeding to list first party Microsoft games that are on gamepass, which is a major selling point for Xbox at this point, is weird.
"----- Same can be said for PlayStation, so that's a wash...Unless...you have linked proof showing a disparity?" The issue is those numbers are tracked together with Xbox, it's two install bases in one that doesn't account for the difference of people who may have upgraded from Xbox One. PS4 does not have that problem, but Xbox One was a lot less successful than the PS4, by large quantities. And even then, notice how low the sales are for PS4, and they're accounted for, and a much, much less successful console in the Xbox One than the PS4 is rolled up into the Series S/X which is by and large considered a step up and course correction from the Xbox One days. That can't be factored in because of the way these numbers are tracked with Microsoft, but it isn't hard to do some thinking and come to that conclusion.
"Please go back to my comment #60...where I showed (with links) that the PS5 versions outsold the PS4 versions too." Again, a lot of people, at least from what I know from where i'm at in the US, are waiting to get a PS5 before they buy next gen versions of games, and don't even have an Xbox.
Again, the only issue I have is you saying that Xbox users don't buy games, when multiplats pull in decent numbers even if not as much as Playstation. No, they're not going to buy games already on gamepass a large part of the time unless on sale or when it's leaving, and first party microsoft games that are gamepass guarantees are going to lose out on upfront sales because of it. But AGAIN, 30% of sales for the new RESIDENT EVIL game when Playstation had a marketing deal with that game is not nothing in terms of overall sales, my issue AGAIN is you claiming Xbox users DON'T BUY GAMES!
I just wish it could’ve been any other animal. I really don’t like cats. No offense to any cat owners here.
@CapGod Umm.... You do realize you're replying to year old out of context conversation with someone's deleted posts.... And half of what you're talking about isn't even anything in this thread, right? That rant is off in more ways than one.
That was bizarre but I'll give you a pass, you missed that this was all part of banter with someone else that deleted their posts...a year ago when this conversation was from. Even I forgot about that.
I get it, you're missing the banter of the original gag. The above old posts are VERY out of context without the other half of the joke (thanks sploosh)... That's the sites quirk.
@uptownsoul Let me give you some more numbers this is a report from Sony that lists the best countries for PS5
On page 6
https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/irday/pdf/2022/GNS_E.pdf
It lists Japan as the third best market. Japan has only sold a little over 1.5 million consoles
https://www.gematsu.com/2022/07/famitsu-sales-7-4-22-7-10-22
At that same time Sony announced it had reached 20 million units sold
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2022-06-03-playstation-5-sales-reach-20-million-worldwide
Same report lists China as 670k buy even if we assume the countries under Japan sold 1 mil each that’s 9 million. That leaves 11 million to split between the US and the Uk.
So again the number suggest the installation as split might not be as massive as you think.
@SplooshDmg trolololol!
Seriously though, the old conversation really looks like I'm a ranting fanboy madman without your half of the joke. . Part of me can't blame people for the above even if it is an insane super fanboy rant that's looks equal to mine but without being part of a joke.... 🤣
@uptownsoul You're either a fanboy operating in bad faith or a troll operating in bad faith.
Yes, you're buying BOTH the Series S/X version and Xbox One version at once, but you're trying to claim that BOTH the ENTIRE install base of the Xbox One, WHICH PEOPLE HAVE UPGRADED FROM TO THE SERIES S/X and the install base of the SERIES S/X COMBINED Outstripping that of the PS5 (no **** sherlock) is proof the Xbox users DON'T BUY GAMES and WOULDN'T BUY AN INDIE GAME IF IT WASN'T ON GAMEPASS WHILE TRYING TO CLAIM GAMES THAT ARE ON GAMEPASS AS PROOF OF SOMETHING TOWARDS THAT!
That's what started this whole thing you attention stirring fanboy! And with that, I don't have the patience to deal with you, your post history tells me what you're about and why you visit this site, to stir trouble.
@uptownsoul how do outsell a console when no official sales?
@uptownsoul Again, you're not accounting for the overlap in install bases because you don't care to. The numbers don't show that, they show the narrative you've tried to push, including in other posts where you talk about Xboxes sitting on shelves and collecting dust while PS5s fly off the shelves. Don't try and play that install base **** with receipts like that.
Welcome to my ignore list, pony or troll.
@uptownsoul listen there is legitimate reasons to believe why the PS5 version sales more.
a) The install bases aren’t that different. We are talking about a few million and that million could easily be accounted for by;
b) There would be overlap with both the PS4/5 and XB1. I can point to number of secondary console owners on this forum. UltimateOtaku for instance owns both and usually will both multiple plats on their PS5.
To your point, Yes, the Xbox version sells less
However the narrative you are trying to spin by using your own quote:
“There is zero excuses for why games like Elden Ring & Resident Evil Village should sell better on PS5 alone versus the combination of Xbox One & Xbox Series”
Is simply not true. There are perfectly valid reasons, and I’ve proved it with two very honest answers.
Anyway I’m kind of done here because your just ignore the facts but that’s okay. Have a good night.
@uptownsoul I don’t remember an announcement for the Switch outselling the XB1 in the UK specifically. Do you?
@SplooshDmg I’ve heard that game had gone viral…
@SplooshDmg lol I actually tried power wash simulator...I couldn't even finish the van before I pretty much rage quit....
Idk a few of the most virulent, I can't even say fanboys, just people that want to buy an argument.... Or can't produce oxytocin or something have been let loose. This one and a duo on push all in one week. I don't even blame ps fanboys for that, even most of the fanboys are quite pleasant, decent folk when you can talk gaming together even where you disagree. Those guys are... Twitter fanboys or something
@SplooshDmg I’m taking my time the math is too complicated or science or both.
@NEStalgia have you finished the green route yet?
@mousieone Lol yep, finished green and you two both made me paranoid for nothing, there was no there there! I didn't play much at night and avoided the whole thing only to find some horrible scene that didn't exist! I'm assuming you were referring to to saw scene at the _beginning_of the route? Either that or it's still coming on the pink route? I'm wrapping up with the chemical plant finale so I don't presume there's some more horrifying shocks.
@SplooshDmg I'm positive they all own several PS Eye Toys, all lined up on a shelf.
@SplooshDmg Ahh yeah I thought that's what you meant in hindsight. That was at the beginning of the route. It wasn't actually as bad as the vase, hook, or vain som to me.
I mean yeah it's bad but obscured and if you've played Doom 16/eternal you're desensitized by e1m3
The vase and hook and vain just get inside your head. Also since you see the saw setup once before it's a bit neutered.
@SplooshDmg @NEStalgia ice blood splat and pokey pokey knife gave me bad dreams.
Anyway the important thing to remember about the green route is who actually died and where.
And also I’m pretty sure Date takes a nice long shower in the green route.
@SplooshDmg there's official character twitters. Maybe they're highjacking it? A-set really is a net idol you know.....
This thread truly needed to be highjacked though. Heck it's a necropost from a year ago about another platforms exclusive turned predictably into an unhinged console war. Ice saws are a thread enhancement.
@mousieone Funny but the hook body definitely gave the bad dreams more than the saw for me. In a movie it might be equal but as presented the vase and hook and whole vain som got me way worse. Idk why, I don't go gore.... but it was I guess unsurprising in that scene so I could mentally prepare.
Pokeknife.... Trying to remember which was the Pokeknife... I honestly don't remember anything with that unless it's in pink route and I haven't done it. I mean somniums showed stabbings but by shilouette.
@NEStalgia you get a taste of pokey knife in Ota’s route but in that route the exact opposite happens. Remember two people lost that day in the warehouse. One with a saw the other with a knife. Unless you think the polar bear was acting alone.
@SplooshDmg yeah I’m playing through Nirvana. I just placed the first one last year. Although I’m still foggy on a few things.
@NEStalgia Ah yes, the Play of Ustation with hits like The Last of Us on racetracks, The Last of Us DualSense showcase, The Last of Us with a magic brush, The Last of Us the game engine, your friendly neighbourhood The Last of Us, The Last of Us: A Big Adventure, The Last of Us with wacky space weapons & The Last of Us Part 1. 😂
@mousieone ah, that'll be why I've never heard of it, cheers 😀
Busy week Stray, Escape Academy & As Dusk Falls all included in subscriptions I have. Happy days.
Hope Xbox and Switch get Stray sooner rather than later and vice versa for As Dusk Falls. Gaming is better when it can be enjoyed by more people.
@mousieone Hmm, I remember that the second character was stabbed of course, but it was off-camera, entirely I thought, you just saw the aftermath, whichever way it went, right? Well except in the Ota route somnium you see it in the somnium.
@Microbius Don't worry, the crazy console warriors that can't figure out what year it is are gone. We're just talking about stabbings now. It's sAFe to CoME ouT nOw.
Really sad about it, can't wait to play it, it's the only game that would make me think about wanting a PS5
@uptownsoul I’m sure you looked and had trouble finding anything about the Switch outselling the XB1 sales.
@NEStalgia You clearly don’t love Ota
@SplooshDmg yeah and then the videos in Nirvana makes me think I’m part of government mind control experiment.
@SplooshDmg I sympathize with the crazed fanboys slightly because without your half of the joke, my posts do look offensive, and are probably enraging, especially if you're.....sensitive....to brand faith power. You totally set me up for failure! And I can blame NL/Hookshot/PXB/PS for the ridiculous necroposts of old threads, let alone old threads devised as troll bait for clicks. I've even ended up replying to old posts now and again because of it. The site bears much of the blame for the mess.
However, I can only sympathize so far. If you can't even bother reading to the bottom of the thread, or the current posts that already discussed the out-of-context original posts, or checking the date, or the fact that I've been super hyped for this game in every Push article about it.... And they just get wholly triggered by the ancient post, admittedly nasty looking without your half of it, and instantly decided to pound out replies and freak out like a cat in a paper bag with only a laser pointer over their favorite video game studio being insulted. You can only show so much understanding.
Not only do some see enemy fanboys all around, but the same people usually are positive they aren't one..... Only the other side is crazed. Their own side is simply right. Even when talking to someone not on any "side", they just perceive everything as a war of sides. The part that's infuriating is it's not just a console war, it's a mentality war. This is the exact same thought process in real politics. It's how the entire western wold perceives EVERYTHING now. Consoles are just one tiny piece.
Honestly, it's not even "fanboys". Even most "fanboys" are fun, nice, approachable people and everyone can get along talking about games, or even the real world where you disagree on games but agree on life. They're not the problem. There's this tiny but infuriatingly noxious cell of people that go even beyond fanboy-ism, have serious emotional attachment to a product line and just snap if anyone is perceived to be a threat to the sacred SKU. Right now those people are attached to PS and Switch primarily. Years ago that's the group that I'd associate with 360....and frosted tips. It's probably 5% or less of the total fanbase, even of fanboys. There's plenty of brand-loyal people that love one brand and hate the other brand to an unreasonable fault, but they're not actually noxious jerks about it, and are still fun people. It's a subset of even fanboyism that's the nasty bunch.
I know, I know, "that's the internet" - but the internet has become all of reality.
@mousieone IDK, I perceive Ota's situation different from the others because he died in combat, not hunted down as prey and sadistically displayed...so it's sad, but it's not like staged horror dangling bodies or chopped up people in bottles.....he attacked a psycho in a bear suit in hand to hand combat and lost. He died a typical video game/movie hero's death (or didn't...) I didn't get strung up or chopped up or anything. Sad, but not a traumatizing horror display like....well....everyone else in the game A character getting knifed in a fight doesn't have the shock/horror/fear impact of the bodies and such...at least in a video game context. I guess that one was a typical "heat of the moment" murder in a CQC fight so it doesn't register on the fear-o-dex like the calculating plots for maximum terror of the others. Yet I found MGS Ground Zeroes to be gratuitously graphic, and the opening of MGSV to be pure horror..... shrug
Though the killers horrifyingly creepy grin in the chemical plant scenes is possibly the second most traumatizing thing in the game. That deranged expression burns itself into your mind.
...although, that's the exact expression I picture a lot of people on the internet always having....
@uptownsoul Oh I never said they don't report on any consoles outselling another console, did I? Direct me to where I said that? No, I was very specific about the XB1 being outsold by Switch (or PS5) because very specifically MS doesn't report in units anymore(Even though I suspect they do want to with the Series Consoles). I have noticed a lot more hard numbers are being reported for the Xbox Series Consoles if that makes you feel better as well as references to the 360 numbers to give us a much better picture. Either way pulling up every other console under the sun but the one I'm talking about really doesn't address that elephant. MS doesn't report hard numbers for Xbox units anymore.
Also, the discussion was on "Actual" install base size versus "Perceived" Install base size, of which you keep altering "Goal Post" to try and prove an assine point that you have no proof of. You already upset another user because you keep "adjusting the facts" to try and prove a point. Now, when confronted with hard numbers well it's every which way but the way forward.
Listen, my math could be wrong but if we back out numbers the numbers from Sony's own report. That leaves the PS5 between 4 and 5 million in the UK. If you look at the links you posted where Chris says the PS5 is between the N64 and the GBA that also puts it between 4 and 5 million. There are somewhere between 4 and 5 million PS5s in the UK. From the Links I posted there are between 1 to 2 million Xbox Series X/S owners. The only truly unknown number is exactly how many XB1s there are. But unofficially reports put that number between 4 and 5 million as well. That means at best the install base is 1 million more owners, but again with all the overlaps it's more likely that's far less than that.
Again Math could be off, I’m not the accountant, but even from the surface level Sony sold 1 mil PS5s in the UK in 3 weeks a feat that took the Xbox XSX/S an entire year. I guess Sony could have sold zero consoles on 2021-2022 but I’m fairly certain they sold more than zero.
@uptownsoul Wow double talk isn’t that cute.
I can see you’re backed into a corner now. Next time don’t play with fire.
@uptownsoul just keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep. In the meantime, I’m actually busy with grownup conversations. Ta-ta
@shamirqushairi what on earth are you woffling on about??? 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
@sjbsixpack I was replying to comment #8 but I now realise it was posted on August 2021 😂
Sony being Sony? Eh, no surprises here. I'm pretty sure it was announced as a timed console exclusive when it was announced so I'm surprised this is news at all.
Looking at the platforms this is released on, its mind-boggling that Xbox wasn't included. It's released on PC, so technically it's not a Sony-exclusive title.
Well done sony you will grab players on your concole and dump that game on xbox and switch after abd players will be like MEH I DON'T WANT TO PLAY IT ITS OLD
Of course it's coming to Xbox, we just don't know when. Also, I love how Sony says "PS5/PS4 exclusive" but it's available on PC. Lol.
