I had to look it up since I've never used it before but apparently some games can be streamed on PC in beta. Looks like it could be a grey area so I don't know.
xcloud/xbox cloud streaming would require there to be an Xbox console version since it's console games that are streamed.
you mean not releasing DLC (if they have any planned) for the PS version? nah. that sounds really childish and unprofessional. they'll just move on with their plans for DLC/updates for the ps5/steam versions, and i'm sure that stuff is already covered in their moneyhat deal.
the two games coming to PC+xbox game pass a year after their launch is 100% guaranteed.
It wouldn't be that much different from Psychonauts 2 getting a next gen version on Xbox and not playstation
I mean, Bethesda could still market their own game since they technically are the full publisher of said game. I just feel like the Xbox team is kind of influencing it and pushing the brunt of the marketing for the PS5 release onto Sony.
I mean, it's Bethesda's game and Bethesda is publishing the game. Sony and Bethesda will be collaborating on marketing for the game to an extent but I don't think Xbox/Bethesda are going to be doing much marketing for a game that's currently a PS5 console exclusive outside of their direct collaboration with Sony. And I feel like that includes not having a Game Pass PC release as well.
There are no exclusivity agreements in place in regards to Psychonauts 2.
A lot of contracts (like marketing and console exclusives) have a parity clause where no version of the game can be released on another platform with content that isnt in the version for the console where the contract was signed. So any expansions would likely have to come to ps5 too
I mean once the deal ends. Microsoft is free to add as many features and dlc to the game as they'd like
Sony's license with the MLB was expiring. They negotiated a new deal with the MLB in order to keep making MLB The Show, which also led to the game coming to other platforms and services (MLB didn't want a single platform game. They tried to make their own title in-house with RBI Baseball, but it didn't catch on). Sony could have negotiated more favorable terms.
You think so? You think they could have kept the game off other platforms that long? You really think? Wow.
TIL that MLB develops their own baseball game in-house. I feel like this should be a bigger deal. Especially because they released a new game this year despite the renewed deal with Sony.
They could have negotiated keeping it off subscription services like Game Pass on day 1. And I seriously doubt the MLB would have revoked the license even if Sony didn't want to play ball (lol) and wanted to keep the The Show exclusive. I heard the MLB was having discussions with EA as a contingency plan as there was some interest in reviving the MVP Baseball series.
You don't know they if they could have kept it off GP or not. MS negotiating with the MLB to put the game on GP is separate from Sony negotiating to keep the license.
oh! that's true, i just did a quick search on google and found about it, i just got confused by the statement that both would still hold the deal with sony. Yeah, they WILL be in gamepass day 1 as soon as they can, for sure.
It's quite likely that as part of the exclusivity agreement the game also can't appear to competing subscription services such as PC Game Pass. If the game was on PC Game Pass day 1 I would imagine Microsoft would have announced that already.
