"The four most recent Xbox One X enhanced games were all Xbox 360 console exclusives. Coincidence? I think not! Let’s talk about that as well as Xbox’s recent announcement of its monthly show, Inside Xbox." -- Xbox Enthusiast
Opinion: Why Helldivers 2 and Sea of Thieves, despite their obvious differences, are very much the same for PlayStation and Xbox
Sea of Thieves stared off life as an Xbox exclusive, growing over time into a genuine hit with a large, committed community. Now, in an effort to increase its audience still futher, it's become a key part of Microsoft's multi-platform push.
So, no one wants to talk about how the PS5 outperforms the xbox version in multiple ways, huh?
Draw distance better / shadows better
Also he calls most ps5 “oddity’s” and uses the term “not sure why this is happening” a lot
Ps5 is just more powerful, those 2teraflop difference and Xbox fanatics saying world most powerful console, is worth zip- zero
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Future exclusives? Thats where they need to work on most.
lol they are still touting the best games lineup using the same games they did years ago (how many years do we need to see crackdown, ashen, and state of decay 2?). And think of all the great xbox1 exclusives these past 4 years... Fable... Scalebound... Project Spark... Hololenz... Phantom Dust... those 3 games coming from the black tusk people... Man so many legendary games, no wonder everyone loves xbox 1
Good luck on the future exclusives.
Microtransaction-ridden services is what it mostly boils down to. They're doing a fantastic job with the legacy support for exclusives (and games in general) of the past though. I can see why they want to draw attention to the exclusives of past though. The glory days are much more ideal to promote than what happens to be their worst generation ever.
