Re: Yes, The Outer Worlds 2 Is Another Xbox-Developed Game Heading To PS5

Personally, I feel like the strategy of Game pass being the only reason someone would buy a Xbox over a ps5 isn't a good one. Ps5 has a somewhat decent subscription service, a good amount of games especially considering the much larger library of PlayStation developed titles. They also have, while not a ton, a good amount of exclusives. Xbox hasn't been able to compete with PlayStation visa vi exclusives ever since Gears of War and Halo left their golden eras. However, now Microsoft's relentless purchasing of studios is starting to pay off, with games like Stalker 2, Indiana Jones, Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, Doom the Dark Ages, and Starfield. If all of those games were exclusives, Xbox would already be on its way to genuinely competing with PlayStations lackluster lineup, however, since only a few are, we have no exclusives still.

The truth of the matter is: Xbox has no exclusives. Consoles have exclusive games to drive people to those consoles in place of others. If Xbox is trying to use game pass as a way to subvert that, if it was working, then Xbox would've already outshined PlayStation. Xbox needs exclusives, and an epic doom game not being exclusive is not a good thing for Xbox fans. If there is something Xbox is doing that harms Xbox fans then Xbox fans are right to complain, and it devalues the Xbox brand.
