Thanks alot for the info! I will activate it. Even if it's not much money, it's a small gift, so I will take it

@abe_hikura Yeah, probably this, or another version of the game will show up on the store. But hope dies at the end, let's see 😅. But still sucks that this distinction exists between physical and digital. Both paid to get the game. I really don't get this 🤷‍♂️

@Bmartin001 I also own the physical 360 copy. But i would wait to test it, since all the bc games work through emulation. When you insert the disk, actually it downloads its bc digital version from the store. But it could be that Rockstar excluded that. This would be a very "Rockstar" thing to do, to force us to buy directly the digital version 😅. Let's see!

I have thousands of hours in destiny 1 and 2. I stopped playing quite long ago. I just came back to play the final shape campaign on its free 2 play days and it was amazing and an appropriate ending to the light and darkness saga ( i didn't want to support bungie with their anticonsumer tactics anymore; they milked their customers as hard as they could). I tried the first mission of the new DLC and it got me motion-sickness when your character transformed to a ball. So, i uninstalled and i have no interest at all on the game or franchise. Marathon after the news of plagiarism and that is only pvp or pve/pvp without an actual campaing is DOA in my opinion. It's sad for a company that delivered so many great games in the past.

I played the demo on a friend's place and i liked it. So, if it comes it's welcome, i would buy it

Well, I had a weird thought. What if Microsoft already cooked and Gta vi 's release will be postponed again and the game will show up in 2027 when the next Xbox will be there? From the leaks it seems that the new Xbox will be much more stronger than ps6 and so it could be the best way to experience the game...
Anyway, I think Microsoft should just stick to their plan with the games about to release

Ninja garden 4 for me!

@KITG_Group_BrunoB I guess that has to be a region thing then? You can definitely find a physical version with the disk (ok, I don't really know if the whole game is on the disk, if that matters to you). If you want to have the game both for pc and Xbox then you have to buy it digitally I guess or code in a box which is the same thing.

@KITG_Group_BrunoB That's not true. There is a disc version also for Xbox. There are already unboxing videos of both versions on youtube for example.

Dead Island 2 Ultimate Edition is a steal at this price!

... And top sold game of the year is again call of duty. Let's see how battlefield 6 will do in sales after the hype will be gone and till one year from now on. Maybe cod could be a yearly franchise, but it's a fun game with nice campaigns and easy to get in, easy to get out on multiplayer without having to learn complicated mechanics. That's why more people and casuals prefer that. Anyway, it's good if there are multiple good fps games, but I don't think the only reason that cod existed and was a massive success was that, but also that it's fun and there were some awesome entries on the franchise

That's great news. This way sb can revisit the story and collect some missing or "bugged" books and collectibles

This was a great Call of duty. The campaign was fantastic, multiplayer also really good, cleaned up from cheaters and zombies mode was also fun. This is free, so for everyone that didn't play it, it's a good opportunity to play it. Will people that don't have ps plus/gamepass at all be able to play the multiplayer also?

I bought Hogwarts Legacy a couple of months and finished it. I have to say, although I wasn't a harry Potter fan, I really enjoyed the game. The game is fantastic and one of the best games released this generation in my opinion

That's great news. So, the narrative that xbox players don't buy games is now collapsing. I have never bought more games in my life than in this generation, despite having gamepass. Now, more PS published games are coming to Xbox!

I 'll wait for a sale and probably would prefer to go for a "complete edition" version of the game to own the game. The game was fantastic, but I find the dlc abit pricey at this point. Also, I hope they will fix some glitches when the dlc releases. I had a glitch where I couldn't collect the last collectible in Iraq. It's there but it is invincible, so I can't collect it and do the 100% of the game 😅

I will buy it later on a good discount. All these games are sold in full price and later they get a massive discount. I bought some games and I played them after a year or so, when they were much more cheaper 😅. So, I am trying to change that!

@Questionable_Duck That's a valid point! This could be also a candidate, since it's a smaller title.

New games and some surprises! Also some other (probably older) PS games announced for Xbox.

Besides console wars, it's a good thing to happen. More people are going to experience some ps exclusives, more money for sony to support them on developing new games and all are happy. I don't understand people, saying it's only live service games, since these are already known that are coming to Xbox.

I played d1 for thousands of hours, I played also d2 for thousands of hours. I stopped around 1 year and a half ago and reinstalled to play the final shape campaign when they had it on free access as a casual now. I can say it was great. I thought I might buy the annual pass or sth like that to play it's raid and dungeons but i saw that not any of my friends play this game anymore and also playing with randoms is a super random experience. I tried the new first free mission from the edge of fate, I think it's ok, but still a big step back again from final shape, so I uninstalled the game again. I also got motion sickness from when you transformed to a ball (it's only the second game it had this effect on me (first was scorn at its beginning) after 32 years of gaming). Anyway, for new players I would suggest you to spend your money and time on other games.

God of war, uncharted from first party studios. Then death stranding 2 (this will come eventually). But I would like to see some third party exclusives that sony locked on their platform during the years like the nioh series, Rise of the Ronin, bloodborne, demon's souls, stellar blade, silent Hill 2 (this one could be coming soon, who knows?)

I'm buying the game. Although it's not something revolutionary and I had a burnout for online games cause of playing destiny 2, this one looks like fun! And plus the price is 40€, so it's fine.

Great news! Xbox players get to play the game, more players get into the game ( I don't know how is the players count at the moment after 1 and a half year), developers get more earnings and sony as publisher goes to the right direction, getting more players and earn more. It's a win win for everyone

First of all we don't know how true this is, if this company is trustworthy and if the data are real to get into this discussion.
Let's assume that is true, it could then be for multiple reasons. A game when released it has a big hype around it. Keeping it exclusive on a platform and releasing it after 2 years on Xbox and on this price and with zero marketing is not a good strategy. Also this time period is stacked with games on Xbox and on gamepass. People have limited time, play other newer games and also in this genre (for example Clair obscur..). People forgot about this game or the ones who really wanted to play it, already played it on another platform. They should have at least sell it in a good discount as Death stranding was sold and did it quite well on sales on xbox

Great news. I said it from the start that this looks like a very good game, even if it wasn't on my favorite platform. Although I somehow lost the hype for this game now. Too many games to play. Maybe in a good deal in the future or sth I ll get it. And as i also said from the start the date is no coincidence. Definitely a timed exclusive deal.

This is going to be Concord 2 and the epitaph of Bungie, which probably be totally absorbed from Sony completely after this. It's a game with initial price on an already oversaturated market with many successful free to play live service games. I was a destiny player with thousand of hours in both destiny 1,2 and I and none of my friends or people from destiny community I know is touching this.

There was a deal. It's what Sony always does as a tactic. Deals with third party devs for exclusivity / timed exclusivity, especially to block them on Xbox, which they see them as direct competitor and Switch not. Try to not be surprised if the game releases on Xbox on 20th of August 2025, exactly one year after its release on PS5/PC. Also, try not to be surprised if the new Xbox supports multiple storefronts (also Steam), that they will try also to block their games on it through Steam (it's another topic if they will succeed in this case)

Hype was there when it was announced, hype is now gone. If it comes to xbox, it's welcome. If not somehow many other interesting games came out, so i totally forgot about it.

I own and finished the game, so it doesn't really affect me. But i guess it's good for people that want to try it out

I played the game for about 13 hours and i love it so far. Exploration and combat are the highlights for me. The world is colorfull and you see biomes and different aesthetics and more vivid colors that you don't see often in RPGs. The story is also fine and as you proceed into the game it becomes more interesting. Some side quests were also really good. Very good and fun game!

I also played Avowed this weekend. I haven't finished it yet, but i liked it very much and the game is fantastic so far.

Ninja gaiden 2 Black. Game plays super and it looks amazing with the updated graphics!

Wow! Yes! Ninja gaiden 😍😍😍!

Of course. Xbox series x is a superior hardware. Definitely stronger than the base PS5 and looks that now that the parity in the industry that sony forced, according to DF (devs shouldn't be allowed to make a better version of their game on Xbox) and that PS5 Pro is out, most devs take more advantage of XSX' s raw power. Although PS5 Pro has some better stats, it uses a new beta technology PSSR that most devs don't know yet and it produces abiguous results on the games. Without a disk drive and a base and of course without first party games in line, it doesn't justify its price. In addition, the plastics and the materials on the PS5 slim and Pro look very cheap and it's like a cheap manufactured product. Whoever has an Xbox series X or even an S console knows that the material used are of a better quality and in general looks like a premium product at least in comparison to PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro. (The first model was better i think, after this sony went cheap)

It's a rumour. I don't believe Jez's and Nate the hate's words. They might release some games also on others platforms but nothing is confirmed yet specifically. For all those who have short memory, last year nate the hate said that starfield was definitely coming on PS5 in 2024 and afterwards he said he was wrong and apologized. How people trust these "insiders" is beyond me.

I stopped having interest on the final fantasy franchise years ago. I would try the ff16 on a sale though and i am mostly happy for final fantasy friends on xbox that waited for this!

Great! More games i expected to play! All three games look amazing. Let's see what the surprise game is though!

"...further expand publishing of KADOKAWA's games...". Let's see what this mean for the near future for some of From software games blocked by Sony, being available only on their platform. Probably finding a way to release those IPs/games also on other platforms including Xbox (similarly to Death Stranding for example 🤔)? Actually Sekiro and Elden Ring sold very well also on Xbox. Also, looks like SIE are no way in such a good financial position to make such an acquisition. Far away from this. The best they could do was to increase their shares to 10% 😅

That's totally fine! The first game was released also everywhere, Xbox, Switch, PC, PS. I liked the first game alot, so i don't see any problem here that more people are going to buy and enjoy the second one, neither i will enjoy the game less if people on other platforms buy and play the game. Xbox has such a great lineup of games which it doesn't make any financial sense to keep all games exclusive anymore. I can't keep up anymore with the games i want to play that coming to Gamepass and to Xbox in general. On the other hand i see that Sony's first party roadmap looks very dry also for 2025 and that PS fans seem more interested on the Xbox games now, since i see more and more PS fans being lately very active on this website.

Indiana Jones! The game is amazing!

I also never watch it live, cause it takes too long and it's late on my timezone. We ll get the announcements and the winners next day. Enjoy guys who will watch it and i hope it's interesting

What's going on with this website? I noticed there is pattern also with other xbox first party getting their lowest scores on purexbox? Isn't this supposed to be an xbox fan website? I can get that the reviewers try to be fair and strict but this is absurd. I bet the game will get a 9 on when it releases on pushsquare. Game sits on 86 right now on metacritic.

Great series and games! I recently finished 2 ( played and finished 4,5 before) and at this period i was able to find a physical copy for sniper elite 3 ultimate edition for a cheap price ( it' s delisted at the moment from the store, i hope they will bring this back soon) and i play 3 which is also super fun. I am really looking forward to Sniper elite Resistance!

I finished sea of stars! It was great! And now i started the Spyro the dragon trilogy. It's super fun!

Great addition as the Crash n sane trilogy! I remember playing the first game on PS1 as a kid. I am going to play and finish this one as i did and finished the Crash trilogy. Anyone who wants to play it through gamepass is great, anyone who wants to buy it is also great. I don't understand what's the fuss about it. It's a matter of preference, but if you want to own it you can still buy it, even if it's on gamepass 🤷‍♂️.

Nice, support this guys. I think Sony tests the waters to see if it will sell or not on Xbox and accordingly, if it goes well more games are about to come. Probably not the first line (God of War, Last of Us, Spiderman, etc), but some other PS exclusives (first or third party) could be available next for Xbox also.
People always complain about Microsoft, but from MS they realised they are not Nintendo to have a game with 60+ million copies sold (like Mario Kart) and they decided to release all their games on PC too and some lately also everywhere. PS was late in the dance for PC, they joined but it seems to me they are following their steps also releasing everywhere some games. Outside of Console wars, if that's the case, it's a win win for everyone.

Finished Under the waves with free play days. Nice indie game. And now of course Black ops 6 ! My first COD game since the 360 era ones and I am having a blast so far with the campaign !

Yes! I just finished Sniper elite V2 Remastered which was great! I played and also finished 4,5 and I am a fan of the series. Great news!
