Quick Resume question…

So I noticed that in the queue section it shows Borderlands 4, this means it has received a patch recently. Yet the game is still active in quick resume. Had no idea it worked like this too.

Grain of salt and likely won’t lead to anything but apparently the next PS title to Xbox is Horizon Zero Dawn. Again, could be fake and all, just wanted to point it out.

It’s probably the Lego version.

It would make sense to release older titles on other consoles. Nobody is list warring or buying a PS5 for Horizon Zero Dawn remastered.

Hell, the real truth is nobody is buying a PS5 for the exclusives, same as Xbox (or as was). They’re buying it cos it’s familiar, has the games they want in the form they’re used to (account, pad, trophies etc) and it’s likely their friends are on it too.

Is this about google indexing search queries on Xbox, that is posted on gaming leaks subreddit?

Heck, people are buying PS5s to play COD. The console market has matured and you’re just leaving money on the table not doing multiplatform releases. I’d even say the same for Nintendo. Like I don’t think exclusives are selling Switches. I think Nintendo nostalgia and the innovation of a hybrid home/portable console is. Exclusives didn’t save the WiiU and barely saved the 3DS. And if you consider Wii & DS sales then people were mostly just coming back for the switch.

Would be nice if everyone would just release the bandaid off and released all games everywhere, but probably not. Whether exclusives sell consoles or not, they have gotten to be this thing of prestige that affects perceived value. Plus I imagine porting to new hardware would be expensive and an undertaking. Sony currently has to use a different studio. Only building games for one platform is probably also a way to control costs, which is really important for companies like Nintendo.

I could see it. As I said before, Sony seems determined to make that IP a thing and Decima runs just fine on xbox. Or it could be the Lego thing as was brought up.( if anything at all)

Hm,that’s funny last i heard it was Returnal and not Horizon. But i guess i could be wrong, also i do think days gone would certainly gain an audience with xbox players if it was released on xbox. It seems just like the kind of game the folks like in the ecosystem.

I would totally play it on Xbox!
