Phil stated it outright, they want Xbox games everywhere, so as and when porting resources allow they will put every game on other devices, which means PlayStation, Nintendo, Apple and Android, if those platforms have hardware that can handle versions of their games.
They'll start with Grounded, Sea of Th...
The Verge has an article confirming that Xbox wants their games everywhere, so this is happening eventually, on PlayStation, Nintendo, Apple and Android.
They're supposedly focusing on Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Grounded and Sea of Thieves, which we'll probably hear about once Nintendo have revealed their next console in early March.
Once those games are out we'll start to hear about the next phase of releases, likely more older Xbox One games (th...
I doubt Microsoft will stop having hardware, there's still money to be made for them there, most likely the major releases will take some time to come over to PlayStation and Nintendo.
Most likely the resources to port these games over to PlayStation and Nintendo are scarce and Nintendo also hasn't announced their new platform either.
Microsoft can't announce Switch 2 or whatever it's called.
They probably also want the existing X...
I doubt they'll stop making hardware, there's money to be made there and it's still important to keep the XBox name going, along with product placement in physical stores and on Amazon.
I suspect we'll see Xbox Consoles, a Handheld and even a standalone VR/AR device, that can function as a PCs, with Windows included too, but also an Xbox gaming App.
I think ZeniMax stuff comes first, then we'll have timed exclusivity of major new releases coming...
This looks awesome, I was going to get it, but lost my job the other day, so funds are a bit tight right now.
This looks to have such variety in the weapons and gameplay styles.
The whole Starship Troopers vibe is right up my street.
As soon as I get the funds sorted I'm going to get this, it looks so fun!
Shame, they could still release multiplayer maps set in TLOU2's environments.
I'm sure Naughty Dog could out that mode to make up for not delivering something in line with what they had for the first game, but better in every way like TLOU2 was in it's single player campaign.
Hopefully they've been busy making a new IP and possibly a spin-off set somewhere else within the Last of Us world.
I wouldn't mind seeing new characters, fighting...
The game shouldn't have any loading screens, Series Xbox consoles and PC's with fast SSD's should be able to stream in the data required to make loading seamless.
I've put some time into this game since I got my Series X a few weeks ago on Black Friday and it really is bland and barren in it's style.
No Man's Sky was at least fun from the start, while it may have had it's issues, it has been expanded and refined to a massive degree and Bethesda definitely needs to put way more effort in than that.
Hello Games are however a very small studio and they made this kind of game work, without being able to know what every cor...
This actually seems pretty likely now.
I doubt Microsoft would stop making console hardware, I can see them working with the likes of Asus or Lenovo to make Xbox branded Laptops, Handhelds and Consoles for the living room.
There's no reason for Microsoft to Gate their ecosystem behind a Console Façade now.
Publishing games on any platform that will have them makes complete business sense, otherwise they limit how many users they can sell...
Unless you're going to say that there will be major new announcements of new games, never seen before for XBox this is a pointless statement.
It could be them announcing games coming to every other platform.
Hopefully actual updates on games like Everwild, Fable's reboot, Perfect Dark will happen.
Fresh new games also need to be announced from XBox First Party, with real time gameplay and some kind of release schedule.
Sure Microsoft's first party devs need to actually show they have real working games coming very soon within the XBox ecosystem, but they've also had ample time to actually be working on unannounced games.
It's very silly to say that you wouldn't want new announcements for Xbox Series consoles!
I just got a Series X and it would be nice to know that Microsoft actually wants to support the console beyond what's been announced already.
There's no Xbox Tax, Microsoft has released games that aren't fun, that lack refinement, titles like Redfall and Starfield are perfect examples of this.
I recently got a Series X, have been putting time into Starfield and it really lacks what even made the Fallout Series fun.
Nothing in Redfall looks fun, though I admit I haven't played it yet, but given the studio involved it doesn't seem to live up to what made the Dishonered games fun or have their polish...
Initial release date will probably be late 2024, then it will get delayed to late 2025.
They'll do the reveal early next month, initial release date will be late 2024, then it will be delayed a further year and finally launch late 2025.
Most likely Rockstar and Take Two just wants to get the initial footage out before more gets leaked.
Microsoft didn't buy Activision and ZeniMax to keep their games off of PlayStation and Nintendo, they're definitely going to try to sell Game Pass and DLC to everyone they can.
Whether you game on their box, PC, Mobile or another device (TV, Console, Table, etc), they want the potential whole world of gamers and don't care about the Xbox Console getting exclusives.
Halo, Forza, Gears, etc will be accessible to everyone through the Gamepass App, billions...
People really are being overly pessimistic, the studio had over 400 staff, they cut 25, so they still likely have more than 350 people working there and it's been close to 4 years since the last major release.
They've always spoken about their games when they're ready to.
This is one of the greatest developers ever created, they're most likely gearing up to announce their next big project, that is probably not far off of releasing.
@JackBNimble: The studio had over 400 Staff back in July, about 25 staff have been made redundant, this could very easily be because a game has had a large part of it's development finished and ND are the biggest they've ever been.
Scaling back to focus more and cut the fat isn't a bad thing.
The studio could easily still have close to 400 staff, it's also been 3 years since their last release, it's very likely that they're gearing up to announce thei...
The rumors say it's development wasn't up to par with internal expectations, so it's on ice for a while, but there's been nothing official saying what's happening with it for a while.
We should have gotten some new information once the remake of Part 1 was done.
ND has to have something new to announce, they've been quiet for a while now.
You know full well that every major Bethesda title for the last decade has been on PlayStation, there's simply no game that has the same level of anticipation behind it as a new Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Doom or Wolfenstein is going to miss the most popular console platform Bethesda's games release on.
Starfield was in long development for PS5, the only reason for it not being on PS5 is because Microsoft bought ZeniMax!

This says it all.
Xbox will be everywhere, which means as porting resources allow, they will be putting every game they can port on everything, meaning PlayStation, Nintendo, Apple and Android.
Native releases, they want the money.
This is easy money, they only need to recode the games for P...
