Xbox games currently are selling extremely well on Steam. If they want to make money at this stage Microsoft Should Continue To Release Xbox Games On Steam
Sony has launched a BAFTA Game Awards 2024 section on the PlayStation Store that lists the different games nominated this year.
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
The Epic Games Store has another freebie ready for your library and it is a free runner.
I'm sure that is what they plan on doing.
They are probably going to dial back once Gamepass subs get over 20mil.
Every corporation dials back on their claims when the numbers start to show.
I think if Xbox gets the numbers they’ll start strategically keeping games exclusive to Xbox store for longer windows
Yes and so should Epic Games.
Im sure they plan to.
Microsoft has been proving many of the doubters wrong for a while now. They said XGP would see to it that gamers stop purchasing their games, yet Sea of Thieves is the highest selling game on Steam with MCC not too far behind it. This is with XGP also being used on PC with millions of subscribers. Xbox is seeing both sales and subs on PC and Steam is helping with that. Its a smart strategy thats working very well for them.
The windows store is just like a mobile app store. They need a specific game store on the Xbox pc app. But then again I'm against Xbox releasing any games on pc
