Rumour: Xbox Has Even 'More' Games Planned For PS5, It's Claimed

Like Jez Corden said, these plans can change, so don’t act like it’s true.

If it keeps the ‘OG’ Xbox eco system healthy I couldn’t care less. I will have 4 of my most anticipated games in recent memory available to me come the end of march for next to nothing. My PS5 will sulk but my wallet will rejoice!

Port the Gears games everywhere so I can quadruple dip.

Look everyone knows the door is wide open the games are going. If it makes MS money.

So ‘insiders’ are just going to throw names and eventually some will be right.

I’m surprised Forza hasn’t been mentioned as that has been rumoured recently l.

Leakers and websites have gotten a lot of mileage out of the multiplatform story. At least it seems like people are coming to their senses about it and not as outraged anymore. Hopefully the comment sections will continue to cool off and people stop predicting that games like gears 1 being on ps5 will be the downfall of xbox.

If they do, and they plan to release them fairly close together, they should go digital only for a very reasonable price. But it’s MS, so don’t count on that. Gotta claw back that Activision money.

Jez Corden is a mouthpiece!
Throwing around hypotheticals like it's fact what a gobshite!
Just talks crap nothing to back it up blah blah blah!

Xbox really hates Xbox...lol

@BacklogBrad Nobody is buying Xbox's. They continue to drop almost 30% every quarter. People are not coming to their senses, they're leaving the platform completely.

If you can get a PS5 or PS6 and it plays PlayStation exclusives, Xbox exclusives and gets the 3rd party games Xbox doesn't get, why would people buy an Xbox that only plays Xbox games and likely plays them worse than the PS5 Pro versions?

Funnily enough I am more concerned about more recent games like age of mythology, hellblade 2, flight sim 24 coming to PS than halo MCC. Yes definitely seeing halo on Ps would be weird but its an old game that we all had an opportunity to play a while ago.
I am thinking from perspective of xbox player who considers other platforms. Older games - whatever, but newer games is more important.
However seeing less or no exclusivity for neweer games (as above) is a problem. While there is some exclusivity window it creates more pull towards the platform. And its doubled with the GP value factor.
Honestly, if they dont want permanent exclusives - I get it. I would ideally choose a timeline like “every new game is at least 1 year exclusive on xbox platforms” - thats it. Pretty much how sony does with PC.

The moment every xbox game launches on PS/switch day 1 - xbox console will suffer

@TheGameThrifter as of today and seemingly next year or two PS5 is not playing all xbox games. Only a bunch of games were ported, the rest are all rumours.
I mean we all see the trend so prob next xbox where they finally rip the band aid completely and release everything day 1. But again all speculations for now.

If you sell xbox today and go to PS can you play avowed next month? What about fable and south of midnight. Subnatuca 2 signed for timed exclusivity. So i dont know

I can’t take anything seriously from someone named “Jez”

I would say again. Leave SOME exclusivity.
Some games day 1, others have 3 months, others make it like a year or so of exclusivity window. Its proven to work.

The real problem starts when everything is day 1 on competing consoles.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner its getting clicks and comments everytime. I really wish MS would come up with clear logic of how they do exclusivity or just end it. This vague uncertainty is very confusing and depressing.
Seing all these rumours every single week is tiring.

@Ricky-Spanish This time last year he was literally claiming that Halo or Gears would NEVER release on PlayStation and of course now he’s saying they’re 100% coming, he’ll excuse everything as “plans change” but the fact is he doesn’t have a scoop or anything, he’s just grifting from every situation and defends Microsoft as if he worked there.

@Millionski It’s time to accept Microsoft flat out doesn’t care in the slightest, they had a full year to disclose their plans to their core audience and all they’ve done is lie, time and time again.
“It’s only 4 games guys”, “Indiana Jones isn’t one of those games”, “Wukong hasn’t released because of Sony, not Series S”, and the list goes on and on.

@TheGameThrifter Yup, the multiplatform news has already taken a big hit in sales, and as much as Microsoft tell themselves that “every device is an Xbox” the truth remains that 90% of their subscriber base comes from consoles, most of their revenue comes from selling MTX on consoles, PC audience hates Microsoft and everyone uses Steam and Cloud Gaming is very subpar to GeForce Now or even Sony’s PS+, so they’re effectively nuking the only solid platform they had.

In my particular case I’m already actively rebuilding my library on both PS5 and Switch, haven't spent a cent in the MS Store since last year and I won’t EVER buy another Microsoft hardware again, only keeping my Series X until I get my entire library on other consoles or if I get a PC or Steam console.

Microsoft isn't stopping

Yes, it's now becoming more and more apparent that becoming a reasonably big publisher they also want/need to make money from other platforms than Xbox and PC😉. The combined potential customers on PlayStation and Nintendo is enormous.

@Millionski

This is from the article we comment on:
Xbox revealed last year there are no "red lines" on the games it could potentially bring to other platforms

I think it's a strong enough indication of what Microsoft's multiplatform plans are.

Regardless of all the speculation in recent months, it's inevitable that more if not most first party titles land on PlayStation. That's just economics. Xbox console sales are drying up. It's no longer competitive and all consoles, whatever their manufacturer are not profitable. Software is. I can still see Microsoft doing a handheld and perhaps some kind of specialized console/PC hybrid but that's it. The Series S was a nice idea/experiment but the lower specs aren't going to cut it next gen. This isn't great news for gamers as Sony won't have a direct competitor.

Footnote - this comment is also speculation/an opinion!

@Sol4ris my point is different. Yes any game CAN come to PS (no red lines). Question is will it? If will - when? And those are equally important questions

@Millionski it might help if you don’t act so high and mighty about playstation

@IOI I dont think they “dont care at slightest”.
They definitely care less than before but still need console.

If it would be like you are saying - why even bother with mid gen refresh and next gen? Literally they can announce today no plans for future hardware, all new games day 1 on PS and aggressive porting of older games to Ps/N?

Because they still have 50M or so active players across 2 xbox gens. They still have 80% if not more of GP subs on consoles. So they want slow death of xbox while growing and getting revenue elsewhere.

@donv2135 where did I say anything mighty about them?

@16BitHero what they do is counter-productive. They do everything to kill consoles while still continuing and promising next gen?
And what about GP subs? Seems like its no priority either?

I dont think they can pull off proper xbox-pc hybrid that would have best of both worlds at reasonable price in a matter of 2-3 years.

Prob still launching a traditional series X-like console but I dont know how they can sell it with all these choices.
