I have to finish that game.

I'll bet 2024 at the earliest for Silent Hill 2. Exclusive to PS5 and PC, but can't XBSX gamers play PC games too through Steam?

Well, anyone with a capable PC can play games via Steam. If you are asking if Xbox players can stream Steam games to their Xbox, there is no Steam Link for consoles...at least not an officially support OOBE. There are about 2 dozen games on Steam, all from XGS, that are Xbox Live "aware" allowing you to earn achievements; SH2 won't be included so unless it gets an eventual release on the (Windows PC) Microsoft Store, Xbox users won't get any connected benefits.

If SH2 is added to GeForce Now, perhaps Microsoft's partnership with Nvidia will see that app added to Xbox. Then an Xbox user could go through the steps to buy the game in Steam, subscribe to GFN, download the app on Xbox and play it there...yay? Doesn't sound great but it could be an option.

Reading back through all that, I'm sure it can be reduced to "just buy a PS5" but that may not be an option for everyone, and I don't know if SH2 is the tipping point that will inspire people to review their budgets.

Thanks Heyadol for your thoughts and feedback on SH2.
I was wondering if anyone with an XBSX can find a way to play Silent Hill 2 on their console through Windows or something. I think it's possible if it's on Steam, but then it would be Steam powered rather than XBSX powered I guess.

I want to play Starfield, but am not going to buy an XBSX just to play it, so most likely, I'll skip it completely if it'll never arrive on PS5, and whenever I feel like something similar in concept, just play No Man's Sky for some generally weak planet exploration in that game due to the awfully repetitious planets.

For Silent Hill 2, this new game will hopefully be one of a kind, though I imagine Silent Hill Downpour is kind of similar in some ways in terms of 3rd person view mechanics, back on PS3.
