How do you think MS will announce their PS5 ports?
- Thread starter Ezekiel
- Start date
If they do it at their own show, it's a power move demonstrating a clear strategic shift. If they sneak Sea of Thieves through with a PS Blog announcement, they're just testing the waters.It would be hilarious if it was at their own show.
Silently and carefully. They will cut ties with whoever is against the new business model. If the likes of TimDog or Colt aren't hyping the move, they’ll never be invited to a MS event again, and new useful idiots will replace them.
Pretty much like an authoritarian regime would do it.

Voted for PlayStation events like Showcases and State of Plays.
But realistically, my guess is however it's done, it will be done horribly because it's exactly how Microsoft's messaging has been since 2013 with Xbox One so no reason to change whatsoever.

I really don't know. After the backlash on twitter my first thought would be keep it as low key announcement as possible keeping some fans on side.
But it's huge news.
I voted the MS show because I suspect in typical MS fashion they'll want to make a big song and dance convincing investors of the bold new gaming direction and plans to make big financial returns on publisher investments.
Phil and the CFO already teased what we're starting to see now. It makes the most business sense but fans will be absolutely fuming. Its a fine line between doing what's right for Xbox pleasing investors and trying to please the hardcore fanbase holding pitchforks with zero tolerance for any of this.
Whichever way they plan to communicate the message the after math is going to be crazy.
The 20+ year console war pretty much ends.
Fans going mental and feeling rightly betrayed.
Proves even with Console+PC+Cloud+TV+Gamepass its still currently not a sustainable enough business because there's no way this was the original plan at the start of the gen.
Every game to PS5 chips away at Xbox's identity and could slow console sales even further.
Anyway my popcorn is ready

For new games, in the same way Mojang, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Bethesda/Zenimax and Activision Blizzard announced their PS versions. Sometimes in their own channels, sometimes in PS ones if Sony still has some one signed.
Outside what Sony had signed before acquisition, I think they won't show stuff on Sony channels, only in MS/generic ones as could be the Doritos Summer Fest or Doritos Game Awards.
For ports of old games, I think they'll do it in a low key way maybe just posting a trailer and sending a PR release in a random day, or maybe in some generic event like the Doritos ones.
