You can't "take something away" if it was never publicly announced for PS5. It's like saying Xbox took Gears 3 away from the PS3.
Xbox owns the Gears IP & they own Zenimax so they can do whatever they want with their stuff. Big difference compared to Sony doing 3rd-party deals with games they don't own.
Besides, Microsoft already honored Sony and gave Deathloop & Ghostwire both 1-year PS exclusivity. Let us have Redfall & Starfield.
@Cherip-the-Ripper Yeah, it's great that the Stadia controllers now have bluetooth with all of these cloud deals going through.
@Sam_TSM You mean Vicarious Visions? Volition did Saints Row.
The MegaMan collection has to come to Xbox at some point. If they can get a GP deal for Exoprimal, surely the same can happen with Battle Network if it's the only way.
Not bad at all. 2 out of 3 were on my wishlist and while I never heard of Lamentum, it's looks like it'll scratch my horror itch. I'll go out and say that I prefer this over the PS+ lineup. Damn it feels so refreshing to talk positively about GwG again!
Holy crap! Both games were on my wishlist!! For once, Microsoft gave a good lineup after discontinuing the BC titles. Now as for getting both right now, either we're back to 4 games a month or they're adding both on the same day like PS+.
Fighter Within?! I respect them for adding ALL their Xbone/Series games to + with all DLC day 1 to boot, but no BC games being listed has me kinda worried for now.
It being the same day that the FTC blocks the ActiBlizz deal + multiple (now confirmed) rumors stating that they weren't showing anything as to not give any ammo to regulators (not even GoldenEye 007), today really blew chunks.
@Snake_V5 It's not a threat to PS, it's merely a setback for them. They'll adjust & adapt to stay relevant like any other business. They have Deviation's game as well as many other shooter IPs with the dev power to back them up. Competition leads to more creativity in terms of staying ahead (GP probably wouldn't have happened if the XBONE era went well and the PS+ tiers wouldn't exist if it weren't for GP). Now I say it's about time for PS to make another non 3rd-person game. No matter what happens, the PlayStation brand will survive.
@Snake_V5 PlayStation is basically committing "goodwill suicide" atm with all the nonsense spewing out their mouth. They've essentially ruined their relationship with Activision and if for some ungodly reason they stop it, they'll ruin future enjoyment from Nintendo fans and GP subscribers. All in the name of greed for a multiplatform series THAT. WILL. REMAIN. MULTIPLATFORM. Ain't no way Microsoft will be to blame for PlayStation's "death" that'll never happen, at least for this reason. If Nintendo can remain successful this far without CoD, so can the #1 console maker.
112% going through. The deal will save Blizzard from Bobby and management, devs from remaining to be CoD slaves, PC & Xbox users from getting the worst versions of games because of exclusivity contracts, and cheapskates like me from spending $70 because GP. Plus with Nintendo & Steam also benefiting from this, it'll be the best thing to happen to gaming in a long damn while!
@Acurisur The BC GwG titles (OG/360) are free to own. Now they're gone. These 2 (One/Series) GwG titles will vanish when your Gold sub expires, like PS+.
PS+ next month has 5 games (Mass Effect Legendary Trilogy, Biomutant & Divine Knockout) meanwhile GwG can't even throw us a bone for the Holidays. Bladed Fury looks rad, but they gotta quit it with the rogue games.
Nice of them to announce the "leaving soon" bunch on the 15th this time. Beats waiting in the dark for a day or 2 to find out which games to prioritize.
I stopped playing Supraland after finding out the Crash DLC never came to consoles, and it sucks that Fae Tactics still has unobtainable achievements a year after launch. At least Art of Rally is pretty nice and I'll be finishing it up soon.
I've never played an RTS so I guess I'll try out Praetorians in preparation for AoE next year. I have no interest in rouge games so I'll pass on Dead End Job. Honestly if they couldn't do anymore BC titles, why not add a third game slot like PS+? Night in the Woods would've been a nice choice.
While it's nice to see Amnesia: Rebirth finally heading to Xbox, it baffles me that Voodoo Vince Remastered still hasn't been added. Not even as a GwG title.
@GamingFan4Lyf Yeah, that and the symbol at the bottom looks to be a draw bridge. If Overdose is the Xbox game, it should have an upsidedown triangle as leaked by Snitch.
E for egregious.
I was only really wow'd by M+R: SoH with the Rayman DLC being the biggest highlight of the show. More Freeriders & Division 2 content coming is swell, but the rest had me lost. Still waiting for Ubisoft+ on consoles.
Just bought Saints Row '06 on sale a while ago so I'll be having fun with that this week instead. They really should've just remastered SR1. It would've been easy money and the fact that it's still only on 360 (BC) makes the Devs seem even dumber for taking this reboot route.
A sad reminder that not every game needs more installments. It's best to move on and leave it be, and if need be, just remaster/rerelease them for newer generations to enjoy. Gat out of Hell was a nice send-off, especially with the 5 endings.
Out of all of the possible operators to make it to Vanguard, I'm slightly surprised that Pierson from WWII never made the cut. WWII's ending had him returning to war and Vanguard is meant to be the sequel since Howard's brother is an operator. Guess Josh is all-in on The Callisto Protocol.

@jordan1992 Nah, I know nothing about shares and stocks and such. Also my dad regularly checks my banking and I don't think he'd approve.

Re: Xbox Teams Up With 'Ubitus' For Latest 10-Year ActiBlizz Partnership
Once they conjure up a deal with Amazon Luna, I hope the CMA's "cloud monopoly" argument gets shredded on the spot.

Re: Xbox Games With Gold For March 2023 Announced
Ok Lamentum looks pretty neat. I actually like this lineup more than PS+.

Though now it seems that they'll be up tomorrow given how Microsoft's taking their sweet time for the newest GP batch.
Re: 'Stranded Deep' Becomes 2023's First Xbox Game Pass Addition (January 3)
The Diofield Chronicle and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Edition are also supposed to be dropping later today.

Re: Activision Confirms 'Premium Release' Planned For Call Of Duty In 2023
Wondering if this is the 3rd title of the PS/CoD deal, and also if it could ever be on GP like Gears 5: Hivebusters if it isn't MW3R.

Re: Roundup: Saints Row Reboot Largely Disappoints The Critics
Just bought Saints Row '06 on sale a while ago so I'll be having fun with that this week instead. They really should've just remastered SR1. It would've been easy money and the fact that it's still only on 360 (BC) makes the Devs seem even dumber for taking this reboot route.
Re: Review: Saints Row - A Truly Disappointing Return For The Saints
