Xbox has confirmed that the removal of Quantum Break was necessary due to what Xbox describes as "current licensing issues."
While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.
Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela
They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.
Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.
I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.
Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.
Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.
Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.
About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.
Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

I think Inscryption is the best game on that list. PT and Returnal i would offer. Returnal deserves a spot over some of the listed games. Especially after chapter 3. Maybe even Alice MR? Death Stranding? Kojima all together. To much smaller degree Dead Space. I'm spitballing.
I didn't play Thumper enough to see beyond the visual spectacle. Curious choice.
Only makes me think of gatcha loot crate game specifically built to play your mind into becoming an addict.
I mean, no Motorsport releases are on GP, Dead Rising 3 is not, RAD etc. It's a lie that every first party or exclusive is on GP. I actually enjoyed QB though. I know it was a flop but i like story intense games and while flawed QB was enjoyable for me. Though Greenberg didn't help by boasting about how amazing the game is prior to release. He def overplayed it. Still a decent game imo though. I thought Control was better but pperhaps ppl were too hard on QB. The story was enjoyable enough and combat was passable.
Figured as much with this one.
No one cared about the game until now. What happened for it to suddenly become “missable”?
I could not finish mine and it has been sitting on my shelf since forever.
Ironically enough, this is making people try this game.
Played this back when I had XB1X. Back then I was impressed! Not sure how I would feel about it now, back then it felt like I was playing a movie. That was before I played games like Blood and Truth for PS4VR. If it is available to stream for GP, might give it another go.
Definitely deserves a sequel. If the OG didn't hold up, Series X/S and PC would do the sequel very nicely.
