Between a larger industry trend toward risk-averse development and indie devs reporting that deals for the service are drying up, Game Pass is starting to feel potentially purposeless.
The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console worldwide with 825,315 units sold for April 2024, according to VGChartz estimates. The PlayStation 5 has now sold an estimated 58.01 million units lifetime worldwide.
The Nintendo Switch sold an estimated 626,448 units to bring its lifetime sales to 139.86 million units. The Xbox Series X|S sold 208,110 units to bring their lifetime sales to 28.51 million units. The PlayStation 4 sold an estimated 4,334 units to bring its lifetime sales to 117.17 million units.
Still amazed how well the switch is still selling. The Xbox might as well be taken of store shells.
An online retailer has a page for "Resident Evil 9: Revenant Shadows' up alongside RE5 for the PS5, RE: Zero HD Remaster, and Code Veronica.
Probably the only games I'm excited for after seeing the Playstation state of play leaks. I'm glad I kept my expectations low.
BLG writes, "Do you ever get that feeling after you’ve finished a game that you just wish there was more? Or do you spend years hoping and praying for a sequel that never comes?
This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
The whole thing started to stagnate a long time ago, it was the introduction of BC that kept it going with the odd release here and there.
Nothing like that to fall back on now.
It’ll probably turn into Xbox Live Gold and get 3 free old games a month.
Game Pass isn't for me. I'm not looking for the best value in gaming, I'm looking for the best experiences in gaming.
I feel like they shot themselves in the foot, it's expensive for Microsoft to maintain and they need a steady stream of high quality games to feed into the service. With the closure of all these Microsoft/Xbox studios, it just signals that Game Pass wasn't as profitable as they lead people to believe, if we have a video game crash, this is probably going to be one of several linchpins that causes it.
