Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.
- Thread starter Vertigo
- Start date
True. Though now all Sony's Bungie games are going to Xbox, and Sony has Horizon Legos on Switch now. And pretty much all games are going to PC, and they are moving their focus to include more platforms (including mobile).
That said, I am interested to see what my PS5 Pro does to this game. It already looked good before when I started it.
Who gives a fuck, this game ain't gonna sell on Xbox and Kojima will find out the hard way and will realize he needs PlayStation full backing again.
Sony probably didn't even wanna fund the movie as well, as it's not gonna be a big hit.
With that said it's absolute madness and shows pure weakness from Sony to even sell back its IP to Kojima. Now their engine will be tailored for Xbox as well.
Just a shit show but can't expect better from current leadership, but (most success PlayStation generation as the AI bots love saying )... I'm sure this will somehow benefit Sony revenues down the road
It's time for Hermen to go and for Totoki to back off from PlayStation businesses.

Life is about console wars, you know this. For me, it's about the titties.
Incredible game, buy and play it. You have issues if exclusives reaching a wider audience is triggering to you. And naysaying about the future of Playstation is nothing but doom and gloom bs. Console gaming is fine, gaming will continue.
Glad Koji owns his IP, the man has too much power. He's still working with Sony tech, PS gets his games first, remember DS is 5 years old now.

Damn right. Nintendo isn't going anywhere. Microsoft and Sony on the other hand...
They aren't going anywhere either. This industry is a lot bigger than console wars, unfortunately for you. The average person doesn't give a damn about exclusives.
"we are porting our games to rival platforms. Also our overpriced console releases TODAY."
You can't pretend this isn't a sign of a forming trend, though. We already went through this song and dance when Horizon was announced for PC. "Oh it's just this one game". Then it became more. Now it's basically the whole slate, with shortening porting windows.
SIE are now inviting the real possibility of more games going to Nintendo and now Xbox. A future Astro Bot port to Switch 2 isn't off the table. The Uncharted Legacy collection getting a port to Xbox isn't off the table, even Uncharted 4. Helldivers 2 on Xbox (and potentially Switch 2) feels like a lock at this point.
This goes WAY beyond whatever losses Concord caused, because SIE could easily cover those losses in other ways, such as filing the game and Firewalk as tax write-offs, or other things. As-is, the moves they're making with multiplatform support shows me this is what they WANT to do going longer-term, not as some short-term fix.
For me, the days of viewing SIE as a platform holder first, are over. That's done. It's not coming back. Going forward I'm going to look at them as a 3P publisher who also happens to have their own gaming hardware, just like I already do with Xbox. For me there are certain things you need to do, and ways to do them, in order to be seen as a platform holder first and foremost, and currently out of the Big 4 only Nintendo and Valve are satisfying those conditions. That's just the damn truth of it at this point.
The funny part is, when I was theorizing about how SIE could've optimally done a multiplatform strategy many months back, it did include Xbox & Nintendo support. But I saw it as very obvious and specific, mainly relegated to legacy PS1-PS3 games/collections, or remakes of very old games, etc. It never included things like Death Stranding (which is a SIE IP, btw) going to Xbox. Not this gen, anyway.
So now what's stopping me from thinking Death Stranding 2 won't be a Day 1 Steam release? That it won't get a port to Xbox in maybe a year from initial launch? Both of those things are absolutely on the table now. This isn't me "dooming"; I'm just making logical conclusions that have some non-insignificant probability of occurring, based on things that have already happened and are happening.
End of the day, I can't help it if SIE are making the moves they're making, that make me doubt just how much of a priority their own console is in their ecosystem going forward. That's on them.
But the average person cares about mindshare hence marketing rights for games to prop them up as Exclusives.
Really? How is it logical or rational?
I will explain, This is fucking nonsense, that what it is.
This Concord nonsense is beyond ridiculous, first it was PRO price, Horizon Lego game, now Death Stranding
You should be comedian. I am laughing my ass off
Sony Too failed only once: no used games/always online DRM. Any other stupid shit Microsoft did Sony is following them.
Honestly the over reaction. I am seriously pissed off too for selling the IP but at least take things into context.
So called Sony games on consoles now.
Supposedly it’s the same as Xbox. The resident Xbots will believe that.
MLB the Show.
Lego Horizons.
Death Stranding.
Some PSP game which has been given to the original developer.
Any others?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Spider-Man appears on consoles too but that should be taken into context too.
Sony does not own the Spider-Man IP.

Announced on the same day as the PS5 Pro to sabotage it even more 
Playstation is done. Nothing more than a Xbox. DS2 will be day 1 on PC and even Xbox lmao
I will not be surprised if Kojima the ho sells his studio and IPs to Microsoft. He's so friendly with Phil, begging to get acquired.
