The Big ol' Xbox 3rd Party Releases Discussion Thread (HiFi, SoT, Pentiment, Grounded) (Part 1)

I watch Alex too, but sometimes I take a break because he can be a bit much, lmao. One thing is for sure, he really showed how ridiculous fanboys in general can be, especially Sony’s, but Xbox’s too. I’m glad we here are nothing like that…

Facts. Used to roam Twitter daily, now I’ve slowed down with it and life is better for it.

Yeah, Satya last year made it very cleary that he really doesn’t like exclusivity one bit. So I guess we shouldn’t even be too shocked with these rumors.

SneakersSSO is bullshit though.

People who post about multiplatform well before last month are just troll. The “possibility” only occurred due to insiders. It’s like a guy who lied about his sniper skill to be 100% accurate, so when he shows it off and land a perfect headshot, even he too was shocked by it.

I mean all these leaks in general. It’s given me time to save money to bounce.

Satya literally named Xbox last. Yeah…Xbox hardware is toast rather sooner than later…

In all seriousness I believe this is happening and when they announce it next week, I’m going to shift to Steam and Switch.

You mean you think they’ll announce they are ceasing Xbox hardware production and it’s over? Nah. I don’t believe that. We very recently had rumors about new Xbox for 2026. Plans can change, but still. I really don’t want to believe that.

Nothing about your post gave an indication that you were being sarcastic

If there’s truth in these rumours nobody’s going to buy that generation if it’s the last one anyway, and will move to the other console or just PC for the continuity. Hope it’s all BS.

As long as the gamepass day one games remain I think there’ll still be a few million who will buy it.

Alex Jones to run Xbox PR?

Next time I’ll make sure to type in sarcasm for you.

Not really, people are making up stupid rumours, so obviously he’s gonna remove the fuel feeding the fire

That was so stupid. Of course managing studios including ABK yields to manage outputs on all these platforms.

I think what’s most notable right now is the near total silence from everyone who was leaking the multiplatform news & other stuff (& losing their minds). Now it’s all gone totally quiet since Phil Spencer’s post on X.

I mean what’s going on? Why did these influencers & journalists all have lose tongues up until Monday?

I’m personally most interested in the hardware itself, i.e. namely the long-term support of my Series X by Microsoft & also third parties. For me it’s not about Gamepass or games going multiplatform, it’s about that box I paid almost 500 euros for back in 2022. That’s my main concern.

Better than start spreading FUD. A couple of days ago I thought they would start saying every day “X is coming to PS/SWICTH!!” “OOOOOH x is ALSO coming to xxx” “OOOOOOOOOOOOOH YOU NEVER GUESS WHATS COMING TO XX” "“This franchise is also coming to XXX”

Things have calmed down unless you are one of those weirdos who believes in absolutely everything that is being posted out there.

I imagine what happenned was, on consideration of making some games multiplatform (Guitar Hero for example) the piece of paper simply had a list of nearly every Xbox game on it and that leaked all over the place suggesting everything was coming.

Or, they were politely asked to shut up.
