NateDrake: DOOM - The Dark Ages is a Multiplatform (PC/Xbox/PS5) release

Remember this shit from Spencer after Bethesda acquisition??

Phil Spencer says future Bethesda games will be exclusive to "platforms where Game Pass exists"

It's the question everyone's been eager to have answered since news broke that Microsoft was acquiring Bethesda and par…

The takeaway, then, is that games currently available on other platforms shouldn't be affected by Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media, nor will pre-existing exclusivity deals, such as the timed exclusivity windows previously announced for Deathloop and GhostWire: Tokyo on PS5. Future games, however, will be exclusive "where Game Pass exists", currently meaning Xbox consoles, PC, and any platform capable of accessing the service via cloud.

Thing is though you will get the new doom as part of your gamepass sub its going to be 70 quid on ps5.

And precisely because of that Xbox is forced to go 3rd party. FULLY

How are these games on console? any of you play them?

The real news here is that the Xbox games showcase should be announcing many games that will release on PlayStation. Meaning it's more or less a multiplatform show.

They’re fantastic games and must play for shooter fans. The PvP is garbage and a relic.

They should just cancel the Xbox / Gamepass release it they want success

Starfield flopping HARD made them reconsider buying publishers to make them exclusives.

Phil thought he was playing 4D chess with Sony but customers told him to fuckoff

Starfield was slop. If they actually made a great game they would of hit their sales target. its mediocre at best.

Xbox as a platform is so cooked.

Xbox Game Studios + Bethesda + ABK |OT30| Why So Series X|S? Microsoft - OT

I could maybe imagine a scenario where Xbox's 3 iconic franchises (Halo, Gears, and Forza) continue to be Xbox & PC only whilst everything from Bethesda, Activision, and Blizzard is multiplat day and date.

For so many Xbox fans the nightmare is only just beginning

Happy for the guys that are into doom but no IP under microsoft appeals to me even after they bought bethesda and activision because we are never going to get another warcraft or starcraft

No surprise here. I'm expecting Microsoft's first party games to be day one on PlayStation sooner rather than later and Doom: The Dark Ages would be a good starting point next year as I believe it will be a March 2025 title.

Looks like Doom, Gears collection, Flight Sim will be day n date.

I can only assume gears 6 will be day one on PS & possibly switch 2 with the next halo & forza horizon game.

+ MS will likely port halo mcc with gears collection aswell.

The next Spyro & crash which 1 of them seem to be reveal soon to be multiplat aswell.

Man Xbox fans really getting bend over they stayed loyal for nearly 10 years just for at the end when MS acquired these studios & publisher to do a 180 & just go multiplat. Had Xbox focus on quality since the beginning of Xbox series generation they would’ve had a decent gen with there next gen looking very competitive but instead they flop halo, flop starfield went a full year w no games & even the games they have slated for 2024 seems to be iffy at best.

Pretty crazy how you can spend nearly 100 billion & still release mid & brand/platform still stay mid. Gamepass & day n date PC fucked them over & they likely didn’t think it would hurt them to this degree which is just weird coming from a trillion dollar companies who pay millions to crunch data & owns a ai that could’ve given better assistance wonder what would pop up if you told ChatGPT how to turn around Xbox in the console market & making them a serious close competitor in market share.
