    Very surprising if this turns out to be true. I know a lot of people assumed that if any Xbox exclusives went to PlayStation it would be the tier of games like Hi-Fi Rush, not the big hitters like Starfield.

    Shouldve been multi platform from the get go.

    Can’t wait to pop this into my PS5 and feel the disappointed for myself

    They won’t sell much if they are going for profit

    Makes sense. I’ve had my issues with the game, but a lot of people still love it and I am always in favor of games being less exclusive. I hope future Bethesda titles still end up landing on other platforms.

  6. I’m just not understanding the thinking here. Gamepass is not on PlayStation so they won’t be growing it by putting Starfield on PS. Less people have a reason to get an Xbox and hence have no reason to sub to Gamepass. They just want to increase revenue by cannibalising console sales?

    Might be good news for ES6 on PS5, just not at launch.

    So are we allowed to like Starfield now then?

    The crap did not sell well, so they need to find a new bunch of fools to pay for this monstrosity.

    I’m sure the PlayStation gamers will explode with excitement, just as many XBox gamers have. /s

    Somebody is desperate for a sales boost.

    Can’t wait for it to be on Ps plus extra in 7 months after launch

    Not got an xbox, got a PS5.

    It looks like we’re going to be getting loads of xbox games, LOL. I won’t be playing this coz it just looks meh. Plus i’ve got a big enough backlog of Sony studio games which I know are going to be amazing…. coz they’ve had massive reviews and gamers have loved them.

    Maybe when there’s an amazing AAA title from Microsoft studios i’ll play it, but so far, can anyone point me to a game Microsoft have put out this generation which is actually amazing?

    I was playing the lowest of the low settings on my PC and still crashed every other hour (free trial of game pass)

    I’m psyched.

    Sounds like they need some extra green from this game. Will likely have been out a year by the time it makes it elsewhere. I bet the fanboys are rioting.

    Why does nobody in this topic understand that opening your audience to 50 million more people is going to result in millions of dollars? Try not to be a console warrior and it’s common sense.

    Yes, I know Game Pass isn’t on PlayStation. Obviously they know that too. Hmm I wonder if this decision is due to money. Hmmmm

    The Game Pass players already played Starfield. They want a different market now. This is *exactly* what PlayStation is doing with its games on PC.

    I’m on neither Microsoft or Sony’s side here.

    May aswell save up for better PC parts since there’s no reason to have the console anymore.

  18. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever play a game at 30fps again.

    So basically Microsoft could’ve simply made deals with Bethesda, which they did a lot of times, to have the game time exclusive for a year like Sony did with Deathloop for example, and plus they could’ve even asked to have the game exclusive on Game Pass, so zero chance to see it on another on demand service. Instead no, they wasted billions and laid off a bunch of people just because they wanted to use the infinite money cheat.

    Maybe if you did this in September before we all knew what kind of game it was you would have got my $70. Bit late now lol

  21. So Microsoft buy half the gaming industry, make IP’s and studios we grew up on exclusive then remove the exclusivity after they don’t wow everyone.

    Keep ya starfield, game exclusives are dead to me.

    Not interested in buying Fallout 4 in space.
    And I really don’t trust their promises. I wonder if they’re just doing this so they have something to point to when people want Elder Scrolls 6 until we’ve seen how they will drop the ball on it, and they can say ‘ we tried putting out starfield on ps5, but nobody bought it’ — yes, after it was a confirmed flop.

    Don’t get me wrong. I want exclusivity to end, across platforms. Ahem. NINTENDO. (The actual biggest culprit of exclusivity in the industry)

    I want Xbros to get to enjoy some of PS’s best. I also don’t want the studios MS has swallowed up to be shackled as gamepass content slaves forever.
