I..... Could really see that. $15 a month on PS5 to access Game Pass would be a big subscription win for MS.
I never would have figured that Xbox SX would be my main this coming gen, but it is not. More powerful, gamepass full of greatness, and the controller I prefer. Weird how shit can shift on a dime. Hopefully Bungie makes it easy to Switch from one platform to another.
Yes. It's a massive purchase which is going to require a lot of revenue to justify and you don't do that by dropping multiplatform support. And in the end, Microsoft isn't trying to sell you an Xbox, they're trying to sell you a GamePass subscription. Their endgame is to have GamePass on everything and not have to bother with their own console at all.
The Games will still come to PlayStation, confirmed by Todd Howard.

I have had the pleasure of working with, and partnering with, many of the best gaming and tech companies in the world. But our longest, and closest partner during my career, has been Microsoft.

With as big as this is I almost don't see them going full exclusivity with the titles, at least all of them. The games being day one on game pass is enough of a selling feature though. I was pretty much sold on getting both anyway but now I am wayyyy more excited to get an xbox, especially once the back catalog hopefully hits game pass.
If you care about Bethesda games you'd keep the PS5 pre-order since they have two timed PS5 exclusives that are still coming out.
I guess I'm getting an XSS down the line. Microsoft really is not playing around. Had to do a double take just now when I read it.
So does this mean that all Bethesda games will be 1st party MS Studios games now?
IE: Will they all drop day 1 on Game Pass, while other platforms have to charge RRP for them?

Dude needs to lay it out straight and say "Playstation" for it to be true.
I could see Microsoft releasing the big guns on PS5 (Fallout and Elder Scrolls) too much money for those.
But other games like Rage, Doom, Arkane Studios games and etc will probably be exclusive.
If the games are not coming to playstation i feel bad for the people that invested in de playstation ecosystem the last few gens. You would not easily give up your purchased to buy an Xbox. And to the people that dont have the financial resources to buy both consoles. This really sucks for them.
The entire news drop and 37 page thread took place while I was driving to work lmao
Biggest next gen acquisition by far.

Don't think this is anti-consumer at all; if anything, this is pro-consumer since we all know their games will be on Steam / Game Pass / xCloud. Microsoft also isn't opposed to putting some of their titles on other platforms (Switch), so yeah. Not the end of the gaming world.
The situation is not the same because it was microsoft overall company that bought minecraft, and minecraft is a games as a service game that was already multiplate. Bethesda acquisition is directly linked to the xbox division and new games are new games
Same thing I'm thinking.
I dunno why people are rejoicing about this. Sony or MS buying entire third party publishers isn't going to end well for us especially if they start making the games these publishers put out exclusive to their platforms.
Skyrim was and is a sales monster. They aren't going to mess with the main reason they bought Bethesda by reducing the resources allocated to the next Elder Scrolls game. If anything I imagine funding will increase.
Yeah I definitely feel sympathetic for people who can't afford both consoles. It's never fun to see people get left out.
A reason to buy an Xbox was sorely needed because there aren't many.
Ugh, looks like I'm gonna have to either upgrade my PC or get an XSX. Still neither in the short term, but...
They are already "giving up" 7.5 billion dollars with this move because they desperately want Xbox to gain back market share after their terrible sales this gen. I really wouldn't count on them releasing any future game on any other platform than their own, unless Xbox sales tank again.
