@Banjo- "They seem to be trying to bring Xbox metascore down: Hellblade II"

That game is trash imo, it should have received even lower scores. How you make a game that isn't fun to play, intentionally so. Hope Ninja Theory makes a real game next time like before and not a very beautiful, boring movie.

If is going to be priced like a PC and act like a PC why not just buy/build a PC...now? Seems like Microsoft would be an unnecessary middle man unless you really want that Xbox logo on the piece of plastic.

Going from $14.99 to $29.99 is beyond disgusting, you add in the increase price in the hardware and it seems Microsoft is purposely tanking so it can become third party.

Nothing else makes sense, there's no way all this is to get more consoles into homes.

Next gen I will give the victory to which ever of the big three puts quality sticks into their next controllers, I predict all three will come in last 😒

No one buys a Nintendo console for third party support 🤷🏻‍♀️ if you don't have a PS5/Xbox/PC to go along your Switch 2 then you will be missing out on most of the great third party games.

@Trmn8r "No, this sounds like another closet Sony paid exclusivity deal."

Wow Sony paid for them to put it on Switch 2! This confirms that Sony higher ups are secret Nintendo fanboys 😳

We're seeing what the Series S is capable of and unfortunately that's how the gen is going to finish, here's to Microsoft next gen making a digital and physical edition of the same exact hardware 🤷🏻‍♀️

Switch 2 is a exclusive box for me anyway, why would I wanna play the worst versions of third party games on it while costing the same? If you have a Series X why would you play the Switch2 version of say Cyberpunk at 540p upscaled to 1080p 30fps?

@Tasuki The first one has almost nothing to do with the 2. I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people playing Helldiver's 2 on PS5 and PC have never even seen a single screenshot of Helldivers one.

On top of being a great multiplayer game it comes with a very acceptable $40 price tag, while I don't think it will set Xbox on fire a good amount of people will dip in because of the low entrance fee.

I'm sure it took Arrowhead months of consistent convincing to get Sony to even agree to the port. There's zero chance it ever happens and that's okay, not everything in existence has to be on GP.

@NishimuraX That's a mostly 2.5D fighter so is not surprising. Where the Switch 2 won't be able to keep up with the other systems is open world games as those require more CPU power. The Series S CPU is slightly higher than the PS5's (and probably allot higher than S2) so these results shouldn't shock anyone.

Sony should be doing this with all of their live service games as the more players there are the better although that probably wouldn't have saved Concord 😅

Perfect Dark looked great and it's trailer received a very positive response wtf

60fps is a game changer in many games except this one, is already too slow to benefit from anything above 30. Also the graphics is really the only thing this game has going for it, makes no sense to downgrade them.

With it releasing on PS5 it will now have the honor to flop on three platforms! Ninja Theory is such a great studio to be wasted making movies, here's to their next project being a game like Enslaved & DmC 💪🏻

If they add Steam they will essentially be killing their own store. Who in their right mind would buy anything from the Microsoft store when you have Steam there? No other platform can compare to Steam's prices, sales and variety.

So it's going to be a gaming PC? Well many of us already have one so I guess we have the next Xbox already 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't understand where Microsoft is going. We don't need an unnecessary middle man, we can build our gaming PC right now.

Are they planning to stop charging for online play cause that's a big selling point for PC gaming, if they are that means they are throwing away a giant chunk of Game Pass Core revenue in the garage.

Why did both Sony & Microsoft announce this week that their next systems are well on their way? Looks like we're getting the next Xbox & PS6 in two years.

They should have probably asked for a big sum from Microsoft and put it on GP, if players can already play so many games for free (basically) why would they buy any game?

@Coletrain "I just think switch 2 offers a better handheld experience for most people"

If you only care about playing the lastest Nintendo exclusives sure! But if you're interested in playing all the third party games like RE9, PC exclusives, Xbox exclusives and some PlayStation exclusives the choice is easier 🤷🏻‍♀️

@stefan771 But in Steam you have to buy it to review, so you're saying people hate this random game so much that they are buying it in droves just to give it negative scores? Why?

Seems no publication has gotten their hands on the game, this is the opposite of what happens when you're proud and confident in your product.

People saying Xbox should port everything to Switch 2, you guys do know that it wouldn't be able to handle most of the Series X/S titles? There's no way they can get Hellblade 2 to run on it.

A bunch of third party games were announced like RE9 with no Switch 2 version. You buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo exclusives, then you combine it with either a PS5/Xbox/PC to play all the third party stuff.

@OldGamer999 "I was posting on push square about Sony having Astro bot on Xbox to make some more money and it would be a good fit."

Well anyone would interpret that as trolling with mentioning that game of all things, if you would have said Helldivers 2 then that's a reasonable conversation to have.

But you saying Astro Bot which you know Xbox players wouldn't really be interested in plus knowing that it uses every single ounce of the Dualsense's features. Is also Sony's new mascot, so obviously is not going to go anywhere else (not even PC).

@Sindayl Looks like Sony are helping develop and publish the Marvel fighting game and you know if they put a penny into something they will only share with PC best case scenario 😅

Considering by the time this releases we will likely have PS6 and the next Xbox it could possibly look and run even better than this on those platforms.

No one knows what Microsoft's gameplan is with Xbox including Microsoft, it seems they are just going where the wind takes them.

Now PlayStation players can experience the boredom in 4K60fps 🔥

Why would I get an Xbox for Steam though? Why not cut out the middle man an just get a gaming PC right now? Also I imagine they will stop charging for online and lose all the revenue.

Again why would I get an Xbox and pay for playing online with Steam when I can play for free on a PC? So Microsoft has to make online play for free, I'm confused by all of this.

It looks like it's in between a PS4 and PS4 Pro, can't say I find that very impressive . Also we're about to 2 years away from the next gen so the Switch 2 will be again the one with ancient hardware. At least their first party stuff will look and play better!

If you want to go all digital then do that, don't pretend to sell a playable game on a disc when that's not the case. 80 MB of 66 GB is wasteful for no reason, just make your games digital only.

I would be extremely happy with a 40fps mode, is almost as good as 60fps. That said I'm buying regardless, a locked 30fps will feel just fine.

First it looks absolutely hideous, never seen a portable so ugly 😅 second I thought Xbox was doing a portable in house to go along with your Series console. This just seems like a Xbox-branded Ally?

So Microsoft is basically brute forcing Xbox players to not even consider ever buying a game on Xbox, Is GP or go to hell. Chances are almost zero that the next Xbox has a physical drive.

They all were definitely waiting for the first idiot to raise the game prices and Nintendo rose to the occasion, welcome to the $80 game era 😒

To be fair the bulk of the money they will make will probably be on PlayStation and PC. Why would they hype it up on Xbox when no one is going to buy it there, everyone is playing it on GP.

"native output of 420p-630p"

Sub 720p at 30fps in 2025 is crazy, basically the PS3/360 versions 😅

I hate it when Nintendo does it, I hate it when Sony does it and I hate it when Microsoft does it. What's the need to censor when we have age ratings? Also if this is the road they want to take why aren't they consistent?

I could boot up Cyberpunk and see full blown uncensored nudity, they show the private areas in 4K 60fps! Why does that get a pass if you don't like nudity in games?

Helldivers 2 would have done great on Xbox but this will most definitely flop, of course not like Concord but I don't see it making it to year 2.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Yes they all will follow now thanks to Nintendo's greed, they will be on record as the company that lead the $80 game initiative. You're really pro companies ripping us off?

Is not a traditional Fromsoft game, they are experimenting with multiplayer here so I'm not even mad.

This will guarantee that GTA 6 is at least $80 and every other publisher will follow, Nintendo pretty much screwed everyone with this move. I have the original Switch and that's about the last system Nintendo will get out of me.

This is a non story, we already knew Sony helped them get the game running on PS5. If there was a exclusivity deal Sony would have Sindel shouted it into our brains just like they do with every other exclusive deal they make.

@darkswabber "Seems like Sony’s blocking all the Bandai remasters of Sony Japan Studios games from coming to Xbox."

Well yeah my jaw would be on the floor if they didn't block them. Don't worry though Microsoft is not going to take this lying down!! in retaliation Microsoft will port Killer Instinct and Rare Replay to PS5 😤😤

People are making a big fuss about the next Xbox having Steam but you don't need to wait that long! at this second you can buy/build a PC that can play Steam, Xbox and some PlayStation titles.

What will the Xbox Steam do that a high end PC can't do? it doesn't go both ways though, there will be lots of things that PC can do over Xbox Steam.

It goes without saying that PlayStation wouldn't let a single PlayStation Steam game be played on Xbox, I don't know why people here are even entertaining the conversation.

If there's one thing certain in life is that Sony hates Microsoft and would never give them a inch 😅 they probably cry every time they have to make the baseball game.

I personally didn't enjoy it too much but it should absolutely still release on Xbox, it seems like the kind of game that the Xbox crowd would enjoy.

Is about time Xbox players get to suffer through some of the worst dialogue in a video game this gen! Everything else is bad to mediocre too, I recommend it only if you can find it with $20 attached!

It would probably be better to just give the dates for all the games coming instead of drip feeding. They are basically giving the games media and players a continuous wave of negative announcements instead of just the one 😐
