It's funny to remember how much people were viciously mocked for suggesting PlayStation games would eventually come to Xbox too, times are changing, it's difficult to let go of the past, Lol. The goalposts keep moving though, like they did with Xbox, first it was "Bungie doesn't count cause they're independent" then "MLB doesn't count because Sony had no choice" then "Helldivers 2 doesn't count because it's multiplayer only" This is the exact same shit we went through with Xbox with them slowly getting people used to the idea, Lmao. You don't hire this level of role just for MLB and Helldivers 2 and I'm pretty sure Marathon isn't included since Bungie is independently operated, this is clearly a business wide role, it's obvious now that more PlayStation IP are coming to Xbox, likely even before Xbox even makes the switch to PC Hybrid and honestly there's no logical sense in saying Sony shouldn't do it, what's the difference between doing it now or having all their IP available on a Xbox device in 3 years from now? Lol. Either way Sony IP WILL end up on an Xbox branded device. As for what is next? I feel confident in saying all of Sony's multiplayer projects will be coming to Xbox, not at launch since they haven't even got there with PC yet but I do think PC day one releases will happen soon with Sony too, they keep decreasing the length of time. Xbox will be delayed releases, but I could see smaller projects like Lego Horizon too and I now even think Spider-Man is a possibility since it's a grey area of not being a Sony owned IP and ridiculously expensive between the development budget and Disney licensing fee/cut. It's all inevitable anyway, Xbox/PC hybrid is happening, Sony IP are coming to an Xbox branded device either way, they might as well start porting shit now to Xbox Series X and already start building up a fanbase for their games from Xbox userbase. I'd be more interested to see if they actually port to Windows Store on the Xbox/PC hybrid, I think they will, especially as they're explicitly hiring for a role which calls out Xbox support, they wouldn't need to do that if it was just about providing Sony IP on Steam which a Xbox/PC hybrid has access to automatically. |
