Not a fan of Xbox 1st party games going non-exclusive, not a fan at all. Many are assuming HiFi Rush is the game, as it was originally in development for PS5 pre-acquisition, and though the game reviewed well and was in GOTY conversations (matching Nate's descrption), it wasn't a huge success in terms of sales or players, 200-500k range on Steam Spy after nearly a year and being in Steam Sales for as little as $22.50, 3m players at last update in August. Xbox may want more sales on it in order to justify a planned sequel. Pentiment also fits Nate's description though, as it won 4 Game of the Year awards, putting it at 6th place in the 2022 Game of the Year tracking. It actually won more GOTY awards than HiFi Rush, which has currently won 0 GOTY awards. Technically Psychonauts 2 also fits the bill, as even though it is already on PS4 (and PS5 through BC), it is not on Switch yet, so a Switch or Switch 2 port later this year could be possible. Psychonauts 2 won 19 GOTY awards, putting it in 9th place in the 2021 GOTY Rankings. Lastly Starfield, Halo Infinite, and Forza Horizon 5 each match his description, as each won at least 1 GOTY Award in it's release year, but highly unlikely Xbox would port anything as big as those 3 to a competitor platform, would spell suicide for Xbox as a hardware platform if they did. |
If Starfield, Halo or Forza comes to PS5, I'll immediately jump ship.
