XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

It’s kinda crazy it had to take this long to come to Xbox too. But better late than never.

No. That question felt like it was ready to downplay the achievement if it was.

I think it dying being only on Playstation and PC because many moved on from it. However, opening this up to all platforms gave the game new life and made people want to revisit it because of the major update

They have a question for them about Xbox

I always wonder why it is always Microsoft is one that should earn the goodwill by doing some pro-consumer stuff, cutting their own revenue streams (like with Gold) etc. While nobody is talking about Sony earning goodwill by offering free cloud saves for example :sweat_smile: No wonder, Sony is able to get away with anti-consumer stuff.

If anyone has been holding off they should absolutely take this chance to play Crash 4, it’s fantastic. Or as boosted_gear points out, it’ll be on gamepass soon enough!

will it or maybe we ll have to wait to leave ps plus?

If it is not in Extra, I believe it might come Day 1 in Game Pas when acquisition is done.

Let’s hope that’s the case because it’s one of the ABK games I actually look forward to playing when the deal closes.

Weird that two months in a row they’ve put titles in that are already a part of the service. This one is in a higher tier, hope it isn’t the norm.

Part of the deal is that ABK can’t sign any contracts that hurt the value of it moving forward. So either this was done a while ago with Sony or it does not preclude Xbox Game Pass like other marketing deals have.

PS+ Essential is the old PS+ and is only for 1 month. It wont be a long wait. :rofl:

That is really good to know! Nice.

PS+ is such a clear and easy to understand service.

I know we all wanted persona on xbox and were hopeful…but there was always a likelyhood due to ms relationship with sega and the success of pther series

Ive got more chance of winning the lottery than any trials of games especially those cold steel ones ever coming to Xbox.

We had Disgaea on gamepass for pc last year.

We will never see thst on xbox either

:nickthink:

It’s been really finicky for me too. I had a look at the subreddit and people there were having issues as well.

Edit: @profjjj Seems all of Rewards is down right now too. Hopefully they fix it up in time.

Reads to me like “we would be happy to release on other platforms if we didn’t have to shoulder the burden of porting”

Would be nice if this were a problem that could be solved by funding. I’m hoping the Atlus games sell gangbusters and make a big splash other JP devs can’t ignore.





All that aside, I was listening to the XboxEra podcast and they were pretty heavily hinting about an Xbox portable. Was there a rumor I missed, or were they just playing around?

Jez suggested there is one.

If there is an Xbox portable, I could see one obviously being a Cloud machine ( that would eliminate the problem of having another SKU for devs to take into consideration ). Maybe one that could behave like a Switch who knows.
