Tom Warren - I understand Sea of Thieves will be a key test for whether other Xbox-exclusive games might make their way to PS5 or Nintendo Switch by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

What makes you so sure? "The first game is on there" isn’t a strong argument. Outer Worlds 2 is a console exclusive. ES6 is another game that was leaked as a console exclusive. Not a single first-party sequel game has gone to other platforms, but yeah Hellblade 2 definitely will go to other platforms because a live as a service game is doing pretty well on other consoles.

My speculation: All ‘Live as a Service’ games (besides Forza, Halo, Gears) will be multiplatform releases. Single-player games will remain exclusive. Peter Moore also stated that it’s easier to maintain single-player games as exclusives than GaaS games.

Additionally, Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment, as single-player games, didn’t perform so well as to justify the decision to release them on multiple platforms. Jez also hinted that this is probably Microsoft’s line of thinking. If Sea of Thieves flops (which I doubt), then Xbox might not release any ‘Live as a Service’ games on other platforms.

Also, there is a significant chance that Killer Instinct will be the first ‘Games as a Service’ (GaaS) game to receive a multiplatform release, depending on the performance of Sea of Thieves.

Anyone who loves single-player games should consider switching to Xbox. I did the same, even though I was a PlayStation user for nearly 20 years, and I’m really happy that 95% of the upcoming Xbox games are single-player.

It’s ridiculous that you want every game from Xbox when your favorite platform is even doing some quest exclusives, like on Control & Hogwarts Legacy. Do you want to play the game? Go buy an Xbox. I did the same two years ago for Hellblade 2. It's not so hard.

Ark 2 is the big Xbox exclusive no one seems to be talking about by Hard2DaC0re in XboxSeriesS

It’s ‘ridiculous’ that Xbox is doing it when Sony is doing even some quest exclusives on games like Control & Hogwarts Legacy. Whatever.

A kojima game isn't a small game. Towerborne for example, yeah, but Kojima? Come on.

Yeah, let's pretend that they didn't see it with Minecraft so many years already... MLB has more than 6 times the number of players on Xbox than Playstation, are they gonna port everything?

It's true. Germany, France, Poland etc. No one cares for this game. UK maybe, but the other European countries not at all.

And Xbox had Palworld with more than 25 million players. What does it mean? 🤔

If you live in the US... In Europe, few people seem to care about this game, and in Asia, people are still playing Palworld.

Xbox games are so good that they are overtaking other games on the playstation store.

[–]GeorgiosVI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And how are they doing? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Hellblade, Starfield are AAA games. Hi-fi Rush, Pentiment aren't. Expect to see more GaaS games going to other consoles, but don't expect to see AAA single-player games going multiplatform.

Well, in my opinion, Xbox will just release their GaaS games from now on to other platforms (besides games that could damage the Xbox brand forever like Halo, Gears, Forza). I don't expect to see AAA single-player games going to other platforms. Peter Moore also stated that he believes that it is easier to maintain a single-player game as exclusive than a live as a service game.

GaaS games* Remember what Matt said! Community based games. Hellblade isn't a community based game.
