Once cloud gaming have become so good and available in many more parts of the world, this will become such a game-changing feature and one of Xbox's real advantage over the other console platforms. Today? Nah. Good for some, maybe.
They mentioning it will also be available to Switch & mobile just made me sighing. Not gonna surprised if they just take whatever works on mobile then slightly adjust them for another platforms. Rockstar owning lots of talents and multiple studios didn't prevent situation like ***** HD port of San Andreas for PS3 & X360 based on mobile version and that embarrassing reveal of GTA V E&E. Blame that for me being this cynical.
@Grumblevolcano is it the same Xbox event that announce Halo Infinite & Fable? Would love to see the same event but specifically focused on JP games. X0 is such a broad & general Xbox showcase event also not limited to just software afterall.
So ... when can we expect those 'new global debuts' ?
I've been thinking if Xbox is serious to re-enter Japan market and attract JRPG fans in general, Xbox needs to partner with big JP devs and develop 3 - 5 promising quality JRPG IPs. If all JRPGs on Xbox also available on any competing platforms then most JRPG fans don't have any reason to own Xbox (since they already have Playstation or Switch or both). If most JRPG fans don't own Xbox, then it's one BIG reason to less motivate JP devs particularly the smaller ones to develop titles on Xbox.
Also in this day and age we still had occurrence such as games from big JP devs not released ONLY on Xbox like NEO TWEWY and remaster of Mana series for idk, strange reasons.
Shame that Open World Action Adventure doesn't clarify whether it would be full priced AAA game or f2p. I can also consider Genshin as Open World Action Adventure.
Hey @FraserG can you talk more about this? Limited Run Games making physical copy of Quake remastered for PS & Switch but NO XBOX despite their partnership announcement with Xbox some time ago and the game being one of Xbox 1st-party games now. I couldn't care less of Limited Run Games not making physical copy of 3rd-party games but for Quake .... really? No Xbox???
Good news especially for those who only play in consoles! But kind of a letdown for me overall. Will still play the Steam version until enough single player mods are available on Xbox version of the game.
What the hell?! How great are these additional 500+ creative club contents to the point they make anniversary version out of it?
Sigh, now i believe they will ABSOLUTELY remake Skyrim in the future and probably aimed for 9th gen consoles or Series consoles excluisive. Afterall, Skyrim needs to be still relevant no matter what just like GTA V!
Ngl i wish GTA VI flopped as hard as it could be because i don't want to see the same game still appearing on PS13 & Xbox Ultragiant X as fullpriced 16K pathtracing remaster.
Apart from internal SSD performance, the way Sony invent their storage on PS5 is such a mess. Soldered internal SSD and complicated mess of picking up the correct M.2 SSD, deciding whether you buy the heatsink too or not, & worriness of the SSD might not work on the system.
The convenient of Xbox Series ... just plug the damn expansion card and you're good to go. But on Xbox you stuck with proprietary solution with only 1TB option you say? No worries since more capacity from more storage manufacturers are coming soon. Soon enough xbox customers just have to buy their desired capacity, plug the damn thing, and start using it right away. Also notice that the internal storage can be replaced too. I've had a hunch that when SSD with 2230 form factor become more common and cheaper, MS will allow & also provide guide for Series users to replace the internal storage within for easy repair & upgradability.
@Senua lol chill bro. It's just one way to look at it since Bethesda is still independent at that time and the game started development without any sort of platform & studio partnership announced. Normally i would assume it's a multiplat game and aside of PC, devs have build of the game for each console or at least prepared to do so.
4 years of development and not showing even a glimpse of gameplay at the showcase🤷🏻
Also it's interesting that the game has been in development for 4 years. It means devs intended the game to be multiplatform from the start and there should be PS5 build of the game lying around somewhere in one of Bethesda's datacenters.
These are too expensive. Hopefully in the near future, some manufacturer would do 'Designed For Xbox' 1080p/1440p monitor with VRR support priced at $300 or less.
That's great, now you don't have to own XSX console to enjoy current-gen Xbox gaming experience. Doesn't apply to third world country people like me though ... at least not yet.
I'm not going to touch Sony's first-party studios since almost all their games are just for PS(duh, of course!) but if that's how it works, then whoever the head of Square Enix today should apologize to me for accepting Sony's timed-exclusivity deals and locking out few of what should be multiplat titles to PS only.
I can partially confirm this because i've seen it myself some excitement from japanese on Twitter. With some digging, i found out Game Pass became trending in japanese timeline after Xbox & Bethesda Showcase. Some of them are impressed with games like FH5 & Infinite, excited with Starfield, and genuinely surprised that you can play so many titles announced on the showcase on Game Pass just by paying 1100¥/month.

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Pre-Install Now Available, 100GB+ On All Platforms
Big AAA games' size comfortably reaching 100GBs now. Starfield probably will exceed FH5 in terms of size and that's not counting the expansion...
Those expansion cards' prices need to come down asap
