Xbox Games to Release on PlayStation?

[NARMAK]

Doom was always on PlayStation for the previous entries they did and now that Bethesda, or rather Xbox games in general are on PlayStation including Forza which is a highly first party title, it makes complete sense a company that was primarily third party still has its games come to all.

It’s weird seeing my Xbox handle in Forza on PlayStation.

Aside from that, game looks great on Pro in 60 mode.

It’s large file size though. 156GB + 2.1GB save file.

Only criticisms I have is it be nice to make manual saves.. + there is an idle online timer which is kinda dumb.

How is Forza Horizon 5? Is there a single player story mode/campaign, or is it more like, just driving around?

I ask because I didn’t like Gran Turismo 7. I get that GT7 was more of a sim, and perhaps Forza Horizon 5 is not. But I just want to have FUN, which I didn’t with Gran Turismo 7

There is a full single player experience, online is optional. I'm sure an internet connection is required for initial setup since you have to link your Microsoft Account to play...but after that, there is a full single player game! I think I was about 40 hours in on Xbox before I even played online, and there were still challenges I had not completed in the offline game.

Thank you

When I’m done with Indiana Jones, I just may bite

Nothing officially announced or confirmed yet, still rumors and speculation.

Sadly with all this unfortunately Game Pass still will not be coming to PS5. MS intends to keep it XBox exclusive. Not sure why they wont just bring it to PS5 as it would essentially be the defacto service for everyone and is far superior to PSN Plus.

It’s not up to them. Sony and Nintendo don’t want it on their platforms.

Because since PlayStation and Nintendo gamers actually buy games, MS is counting on those sales to help supplement their "EBT" program on Xbox/PC.

Yes.

Gears of War and Forza Motorsport are the main IPs from their 1st party side i'm interested in to come to PlayStation. Halo if it gets a remake woulf interest me too but i think they'll try a port of the Master Chief Collection. Since it doesn't come on the disc, i'd expect that crap to happen for a PlayStation release too so wouldn't buy until its bargain bin cheap.

[NARMAK]

Sony doesn't want Game Pass on PlayStation simply for the fact they already have a huge cross section of titles on both services and consumers wouldn't buy PS+ and Game Pass that way doubling their cost.

You can quote me on this if it comes to pass, but i do genuinely think MS is going to sell an adapted Game Pass for PlayStation with MS exclusive titles for a slightly lower price eventually once they port more titles over or find a way to do a streaming service like PS Now stye for MS titles.

IA and this is most likely. It doesnt make sense forr Sony to allow Gamepass on PS5 but a modified curated version of MS' titles (that will never come to Plus) seems feasible

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took part in an earnings call following the report, revealing a whole bunch of milestones that Xbox achieved during the quarter - including a claim that Xbox was the top publisher on PlayStation for pre-orders and pre-installs during that time period.

Not surprising considering SONY's own lack of close to the vest IP during this time.

Also games going up to $80 this holiday.

Market conditions. I'm absolutely SURE they'll drop back down when the market normalizes *rolleyessohard*

So I’m nervous about pulling the trigger on Forza Horizon 5 (for PS5) because it’s seems more like, I dunno, just driving around and less like a game with progression and stuff.

I liked but didn’t love Indiana Jones. Found myself bored

So is Hellblade Senua’s Saga coming to PS5?

Personally i think almost every first party title will come soon enough once they port it. Master Chief Collection will more than likely be the first Halo drop but before that i think Gears of War might come to PlayStation since Master Chief is still the main Xbox mascot and might rock the boat more.

Horizon is more of an open world type of game compared to say Motorsport under the Forza IP which follows a more traditional Gran Turismo system. I guess you could compare Horizon a lot more to NFS games in that regard and reviews have all praised it. I just personally refuse to buy until its dirt cheap because they don't include the game on disc and expect you to download it all.

It's a beautiful game for sure. However I refer to it as a high speed sight-seeing game. If you enjoy driving fast and admiring the pretty landscapes, well then you might enjoy this. But when you can just freely mow over trees, guard rails, etc with no consequence, not even speed reduction, it diminishes the intensity that a racing game should provide. It's a good game and the production quality is as high as you're going to find. I just prefer track based "GT" style racing over open world.

Please I hope it does. Probably wasn't financially profitable for them to do it though.

At the moment nothing has been officially announced or confirmed, regarding the sequel coming to PS5.
