Microsoft Is Pushing For No “Red Line” For What Games Could Come To PlayStation – Report

Excellent. Exclusivity sucks, and the more widely available good games are the better.
This just feeds the theory that Xbox as a console is collapsing. Why buy an Xbox if you can play/stream the games everywhere else?
The day I play Halo or Gears Of War on the PS5 is going to be one surreal moment.
I wouldn’t say no to Halo and Gears. Sony has no shooters and it sucks.
Exclusives are not beneficial for consumers but it’s in the right of a platform holder to have exclusives & because it gives the consumer a sense of security that they can have all the major third party games while also having exclusives.
I’m not saying it’s beneficial consumers as a whole but am saying that in the current gaming industry consumers can have feel goodness / security in their purchase but it obviously is beneficial for Sony & Nintendo because it attracts customers.
I feel like switch users feel happy because of games + exclusives, and Ps5 players feel happy they can have major AAA titles + stellar blade, Rise of the Ronin, FF VII remakes, Helldivers 2, Spiderman 2, etc while their rival platform now has less exclusives since the start of the year.
Just abandon the console hardware market after this gen then.
Even Mario and Sonic eventually reconciled.
Not surprised. Microsoft are playing the long game with gamepass and getting people to move to PC
Interesting situation, from a business perspective it conflicts with a lot of what they have done to date… the console sales are loss-leaders and whereas Phil has stated Gamepass is profitable is it enough to take bigger losses in the console division?
Origin Access is on PSN, so seeing Gamepass on there wouldn’t really “surprise” me but all it really does is further increase the value in owning a Playstation Console and for services like Origin and Gamepass I don’t stay subbed onto them long typically.
For consumers it’s a great decision though, and if they sell first-party they’ll definitely make bank; I avoided Starfield as a purchase simply because it wasn’t on the PSN… if it shows up… I’ll likely pick it up.
Wouldn’t this hurt them, less exclusives on Xbox, and seeing that there are a lot of ps games not on Xbox, if all of the xbox games are on there too it would severally hurt them
It would be cool if Sony would do the same (please for the love of god I just want to be able to play helldivers)
Y’all need to stop taking Jez Corden at his word. He’s already walked this back and said he was speculating because he knows what Satya wants.
Those fucks are going to do that for a quick bump for the shareholders but then “Xbox Gaming” will plateau. Suddenly the shit heads will be asking themselves how to make more money and realize they shouldn’t have abandoned their ecosystem. Literally everyone is trying to make their own walled garden ecosystem with all these PC launchers and MS is over here wanting to drop a huge chunk of their fan base.
It should be reciprocal, no more permanent exclusives. Best thing for all gamers.
Maybe have it exclusive for a month or so.
This all kickstarted with the Xbox One, where Microsoft lost sight of what Xbox was, a gaming system first.
Had they not fucked up so massively with forced hardware (kinect), draconian DRM, a focus on tv and sports, and just made a more powerful Xbox for the next gen as their competitor did, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
Microsoft has a habit of shooting themselves in the foot, and then wonder why they’re constantly catching up.
How about they push those call of duty games to gamepass
that seems like a horrible idea. the only reason to but 1 console over another (assuming similar hardware) is exclusives.
Wow, Microsoft wants to publish no games for PlayStation as well.
You can’t talk about the Red Line and show me a picture of pirate ships.
All of this because Xbox one had the always online requirement.
Well you might as well pack it up Microsoft – there’s no reason to ever buy an Xbox
Yeah kinda figured Microsoft was the one dictating the show rather than Xbox. Such a shame.
Once again I ask: what games?
If Gears comes to play imma do a replay marathon coop day 1
So what is their plan exactly? If they are just putting their games on Playstation, why would I buy a Xbox console?
“we will do LITERALLY ANYTHING to make more money!” – Microsoft
The Xbox is going to become a PC variant, like what Valve’s doing.
If Microsoft’s smart, they’d introduce a handheld that can do Series S spec, as there’s already a built-in library.
L l
Red line…. ONE PIECE !!!!!
turns out exclusivity is a absolutely moronic and backwards model, who could’ve guessed.
Oh wait, everybody 35 years ago.
I feel like this isn’t as much as a “here let’s try to get xbox exclusive games on ps” but more so “I’ll give you these exclusives for yours” that there pushing for
With games being sold for more than the console itself… I can see their motivation.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Phil Spencer is a snake, just like Microsoft needs him to be.
They gotta make up that 80 billion somehow…
I feel like they would definitely do this but right now they are putting this out bc they know Sony will say no, they want to put the ball in their court and change the court of public opinion to Xbox being the good progressive guys which I’m here for, Sony is greedy
SENUA. SENUA. SENUA!
XBOX went out in a way more embarassing way than SEGA. I’m sorry Xboxbros.
This isn’t even microsoft shooting themselves in the foot anymore it’s microsoft blowing their head off with a shotgun, do they really think playstation are gonna reciprocate?
