Now that's a nice addition...and no need to keep your console turned on unnecessarily.
😉

So now they're confirming their PlayStation exclusivity right?... after they blatantly made up excuses against the Series S as their reason for the "delay"

Bunch of scumbags.

@IOI: I don't see Phil Spencer saying Xbox is getting out of the gaming hardware business.

You must have confused yourself with a made up PlayStation article.

They should acquire more IPs like Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat which it would be far less problematic with regulators, especially since Trump won the election.

But, But... PlayStation gamers keep saying Xbox is getting out of the gaming hardware business....lol

Says the pro-playstation developer.

@themightyant : The fact that you can unplug it while the console is on and hot swap it with another on the fly is certainly worth the price.

I can't imagine stopping my gaming sessions, shutting down the console and then taking it apart and then doing it all over again just to add memory in 2024.

Heck even Sony knew better with the PS1.

Goes to show once more that only those Sony biased developers have a "concern" about the Series S.

While Take-Two CEO also dismissing any media made up concerns.

It's now officially a full Xbox IP.

The beloved classic trilogy comes GamePass!!

The BEST version has finally arrived!

👍😁👍

Kojima breaking free from PlayStation's chains and shackles...he must feel great.

Wow, now that's a huge surprise.

That only means the sequel is also releasing on Xbox and most probably a lot sooner since Kojima and Phil Spencer are buddies.

We need a hybrid system alas Nintendo Switch but more powerful sporting at least Native 4K in Dock Mode and Native 1080p in handheld mode but both running at a steady 60fps

Call of Duty.... Baby!!!

That's great support for a fantastic game on GamePass.

@Kevw2006 : YouTube reviews everywhere....of course most if those people are reviewing the GamePass version which could be less bloated and better optimized than the PS5 version.

Obviously you are not up to date....Sony stopped reporting PSPlus numbers for a reason...they are in a huge decline and everyone knows it.

I can surely say with confidence many Psplus subscribers making the change to GamePass for Call of Duty alone.

@M20B25 : They did... that's why it runs better on Xbox than on PS5

Microsoft knows their current formula is working phenomenally, so there is no need to change anything....

Just to think Sony had the chance to have Call of Duty on Day 1 on PSPlus when Microsoft gave them the opportunity...but of course their ego got in their way to finally give PlayStation gamers something worth subscribing for.

Talking about a missed opportunity ...especially with this year's Call of Duty getting great reviews from everywhere.

Sony out of all companies they don't care about one time sold copies, they want to retain people through subscriptions, that's why they're pushing so hard for their Live Services as a desperate move to retain gamers....Sony at this point wishes they had at least a third of GamePass subscribers.

One time sales are just that....a one time.

Microsoft acquiring Activision was a fantastic game plan that is already making it worthwhile and that's just with one franchise alone.

PlayStation keeps losing developers by the day.
😂😂😂😂

@Vordus : Balancing cost is the key and do you really think Hasbro and Marvel would license those IPs as cheaply as they did over 15 years ago? Absolutely not.

It would cost too much just to appease a few people.

Remember when Sony gamers said Microsoft would be the end for the Call of Duty franchise?

Well I guess they are eating their foot right about now ...😂

@shoeses : Xmen?, Transformers? How can Microsoft work on games that they don't own the license for?....back then the old Activision had teams that took on licensed games, this was over a decade ago those people are long gone....I guess you didn't know that.

To work on licensed games you need to have a team with special talent for that or those games can end up in messes like what Sega and Ubisoft usually does.

And for your information this year's Calls of Duty at the helm of Microsoft is leading the pack as the most successful Call of Duty in over a decade.

@Weebleman : Forget about the numbers, only one question matters...is Microsoft growing positively thanks to the acquisition....the answer is YES!

PlayStation now wishes they had taken Microsoft's offer in having Call of Duty on PSPlus....But Sony of course made the wrong decision....again.

@shoeses : So you are saying Microsoft should milk gamers the way PlayStation is doing by remaking unnecessary 4 year old games and charging again full price for a new rerelease.

Perhaps you prefer to be milked to death but I prefer the way Xbox does things, less unnecessary remakes and less full priced re-releases and more fresh ideas to rejuvenate existing IPs which has been the case with Flight Simulator while taking popular franchises to even higher heights which is the case with the newest Call of Duty.

And that was just the quarter that ended in September....

just imagine the crazy profits and GamePass subscription numbers Call of Duty is to show in their next quarterly reports.

That Activision acquisition was truly a magnificent idea.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner: Yes...cheats, it's so disappointing that we lost something as common and fun as cheat codes in gaming.

For those that don't like cheats, they don't have to use them, but keep them available.

After Concord's Developer being shut down, I doubt Bungie is going to have any freedom to be themselves with this game.

It looks like it will be another great reason to keep our GamePass subscriptions active!!!

Another Concord?...Most probably.

Yes, mods should be something Microsoft should be adopting more across each of their games.

Mods in gaming are far more popular and proven more fun than those egotistical achievements/trophies preventing currently in place.

@AgentGuapo : If that boost is as significant as the "boost" the PS4 pro players got then Sony need to start refunding those PS5 pro pre-orders....That infamous ps4 pro Tomb Raider boost comparison comes to mind.

A boost without a developer's patch it can only go as far as the game's code can allow....we could even see game crashes if the PS5 pro tries to load the game faster than what the game was originally coded for....now for stability purposes I can see a bunch of patches being released for the PS5 pro instead of actual enhancements.

@AgentGuapo : $700.00 price tag on a PS5 pro that can't enhance every game right out of the box?...that would be called "more powerful if the patch exist"...lol

@sikthvash and yet the PS5 can't do it....

We always knew the Series X is the world's most powerful console.

The Xbox division will be having quite a great holiday in profits!
👍😁👍

@Weebleman And that's the beauty of it Microsoft welcomes all those full price purchases....No wonder they didn't want this game to be exclusive.

Best Call of Duty in decades is now on GamePass Day 1 or buy it at full price on other platforms.....

Xbox Profits to the Moon!!!!!

Im dying to see more of EverWild.

We knew the developer could have done better.

The question is....is it word buy at full price if you already played the original release?

That's the question....

A work of art that every Xbox gamer should have.

@LogicStrikesAgain Or more likely is that they have integrity caring about all gamers across multiple platforms.

That means the studio has integrity and cares for all gamers across multiple platforms.

More studios should learn from them.

Hopefully this means a simultaneous digital and physical release, instead of just digital.

@Feffster : If you are looking for 60fps on a console, you should have gotten the Series X ...The Series S is for casual gaming which people should know by now that it's not about performance but just gaming.

There is a huge price difference in between the two for a very good reason.
