Nag Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Let's hope not. Xbox Live Gold is being replaced with Game Pass Core in September... Games with Gold to end. https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/17/23794792/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-core-live-gold-replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if neither side had dev kits of each others this or last or one before gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 That's what I'm saying... Microsoft would need a PS6 dev kit to make a PS6 version of CoD seeing as that game will continue to be a multiplatform game. I'm pretty certain that's the reason they used as to why there was no native PS5 version of Minecraft... Mojang weren't sent dev kits. Edit... and I've completely misread your comment...🤣... I'm going back to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I mean, the specs of each others consoles stop being a secret to each other at some point, especially since they share a lot of components from the same place. And IP laws are what's stopping them just using each others tech, not that they literally don't know what's in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Specs are known to third parties years before the release... maybe not fully locked in but they'd definitely be in the know. Either way I just think it's an odd situation and one we've not really seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Had a notification that the "new home experience" was coming when I turned on the Xbox earlier... no download yet though, I always look forward to these updates especially as they've (supposedly) made it so game art and such is more prominent.

one-armed dwarf Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Posted on XIV thread but here you go They're so late to the party on XIV that it barely matters at this point, but maybe the wording here is indicating future exclusivity deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I'm glad Xbox players finally have the chance to play it, I'm not sure how many will be fussed after all this time but it's nice to have it on both systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 amazed by this. Given Microsoft pushing backwards compatibility I'm sure people were still buying the odd game. I know a lot of those games above can be bought elsewhere, but its not good to be shutting down store fronts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 It's really calling into question the ability of the console makers to keep a full store of their back catalogue. MS have been the best at it so far but if they're dropping a lot too then what does it mean for everyone else? Dust: An Elysian Tale is a weird case. I didn't even know it came out for the 360. Looks like it came out there first before being ported/updated for the PS4 (where I first heard of it at least), but no XO version was made, so that's the only way to play it on Xbox. Another case for those public digital libraries I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I've seen some people mention that this will be the last closure to ever happen (at least if you count PS3/Vita do be decided on and just waiting to happen) because the currently used storefronts are unified in their respective ecosystems. I wish I could share that optimism, but I'm not so sure. Speaking of digital nonsense: didn't Microsoft at some point say that you could pre-load game on Xbox without owning them, to have them pre-installed even if, say, you decide to pick them up at retail? Does anyone here know how that works? I'm asking because it would be rather useful for Starfield but I couldn't find the option at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
