More Microsoft titles coming to Steam (e.g. ReCore); THQ Nordic to handle retail distribution
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
Recore is nice at the least, but there's definitely some better games I hope comes over. Sunset Overdrive, Rare Replay, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and the Crackdowns would all be great. There's probably some others, too. I wonder if any others will actually come, or if it'll just be these five
There's one thing similar between all these titles and the previously released Ms titles on steam - they're all from Xbone.
360BC games sadly won't come any soon. If ever - I could see Microsoft keeping it Ms store only. The moment Microsoft loses it grip over the emulator the next day an even better version which runs everything is out. Doubt they would want that.

Recore is the most 6/10 game i ever played.
But FFS give us sunset overdrive and lost odyssey on PC!

Microsoft owns the Lost Odyssey IP, but the game itself is co-owned by Mistwalker and I.T. Planning.
Recore on not the Windows Store? I might bite.
I'm guessing Microsoft will get to see the numbers for these. Without exaggeration, I would guess even the smaller titles are likely to sell five times as many units on Steam, at the least. Maybe they'll get the hint.

Cuphead? Though that doesn't have the Microsoft Studios label, does it.

Yeah, while Cuphead is exclusive to the X1 on the console side, it's not owned by MS. It was self-published.
That's pretty awesome, hopefully this leads to more to come in the future (sunset please), I wont be getting them because gamepass is just to good to pass up but damn if I didn't already move to windows 10 this would be awesome. I hate windows 10 but now I need it for gamepass.
I've noticed that the games that weren't really a success for Microsoft have been released on Steam later. If so, this isn't working and they really need to focus on the console side first before delving into the PC.
Anyway, ReCore is a bit rough round the edges but I think everyone is in for a treat.

If Xbox Game Pass is going to be on Windows 10, they will not be caring about the hint.
People would actually need to want to use the W10 store for it to matter
Cuphead's self published on everything iirc
Super Lucky's Tale is a pretty decent platformer. Id honestly recommend it to people over ReCore
I would say a decent amount of people know it but the Windows 10 store has issues and people in general would like to stay away from it. It took me 2 hours to figure out how to uninstall the demo of recore from my PC. You can't uninstall it the "regular way" and there was no option in the Xbox App or in the Windows 10 store app either.
Pretty cool, but I got Recore for free thanks to a glitch when the definitive edition launched, so I won't be grabbing it on steam.
Or remove it from the control panel, again, just like any steam game.
Right click on the icon, uninstall. Just like any steam game.

That was the first thing that I tried and nope, it would not let me.
Interesting picks. Not exactly the most well-known or well-received games. All are kinda in a G-PG range. Kinda like stuff THQ would have made back in the old days.
Wonder how THQ Nordic managed to get the deal.

So make the Windows Store better. IMO, that's a far better and constructive take away than just release all game on Steam.
If it's not already on PC, I doubt it's going to show up on Steam. I also wouldn't expect any of Microsoft's big first-party games (like Forza and Halo) on Steam. They're going to save their "killer apps" for the Windows Store.
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of customers would prefer to just have the games on Steam.
Nah, far better and constructive is actually giving the consumers some choice.
The MS store is a disaster that will never be fixed at this point too, why the hell would you want stuff to be still locked to it
You can play it with a controller. I actually kinda liked it when i played it with Gamepass. Or i liked it enough to not uninstall it immediately.
Everyone should get Recore. Whileit didn't set the critics on fire, I had a blast with it. Will probably even replay it once it releases on Steam.
