@Widey85 Microsoft couldn’t pay to keep COD from Playstation, Activision wouldn’t agree to it. If they could they already would. MS paid for numerous exclusives in the 360 day wen the player base was similar to PS3. Today Playstation has a far bigger player base, all 3rd party games sell a lot more on Playstation. MS would have to cover this loss. It wouldn’t be financially viable.
@Banjo- mate, Xbox has had 2 exclusives in over 2 years!! There are 3 that we know of in the pipeline, Redfall, Starfield an Forza. We can pretty much say wat Forza will be like, the other two we live in hope.
@BAMozzy those games wouldn’t have come along had it not been for Sony! The new games coming fom Microsoft acquired devs are the same games as before, only exclusive. You kinda get the point but without realising the point.
@nomither6 Playstation exclusives are my fav type of games. Big, single player, story driven games with amazing stories an characters. The Last of Us 1 an 2 being my absolute fav games. I really wish Xbox would start making such games!! I’m hoping Starfield lives up to the hype!! It needs a good story, not just good game play.
@BAMozzy an the Final Fantasy thing is nothing to do with Sony. Square Enix simply don’t wanna release on Xbox. They say the player base doesn’t warrant the extra work.
@BAMozzy my simple point is Sony buy devs and make new, incredible games. Wen Sony bought Naughty Dog Naughty Dog were making games for Apple 2. Since then we’ve had Uncharted 1-4, Uncharted Lost Legacy an The Last of Us 1 an 2 and Left Behind. An Spiderman was originally offered to Xbox, Xbox said no. Sony said yes. Playstation gets the biggest selling console exclusive ever!!
@BAMozzy the issue is all the Playstation exclusives you mentioned were made by Sony devs. Sony bought a small dev, invested in it, produced new, GOTY contending games. Uncharted, TLOU, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. All created by Sony devs. Microsoft simply want to buy up the biggest selling 3rd party games an make them exclusive. Since MS bought Bethesda how many new games av been announced? None at all!! Redfall an Starfield which were already well in to production for both Series S/X and PS5, MS buy then an make 3rd party games exclusive.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Leave Xbox Game Pass If Microsoft Removed Its Exclusives?
The main thing Game Pass has is day 1 exclusives. Without it PS+ is better.
