Just bought Wukong a few days ago for PlayStation 5 so if/when it releases on Xbox doesn't matter to me anymore. lol

and my Source with knowledge, said, that it isn't coming to xbox because of technical issues.

Paul Tassi, can you backup your claims and name your source?

Is his source Jez Corden Bleu?

I find it hard to believe there was an exclusivity deal without significantly more marketing to go along with it. That's not even looking at the fact that it was a day 1 pc launch and that sony prominently advertises these deals...


Just 8 months ago this was planning on coming to Xbox, which doesn't mean there isn't a deal, but that's super late in the game.

Pretty sure he's wrong, Stellar Blade was heavily marketed by PlayStation and is a temp exclusive.

People want to hope that there is a deal because that is better than the alternative, that there is a fundamental problem due to the decisions xbox management made.

In back to back years, they have not gotten GOTY candidate games at launch. If this is a repeat of last year, they know it's only going to happen more often moving forward.

What are the chances that GTA6 is delayed on Xbox because of Series S?

Must be with nVidia then, as Sony did 0 marketing for it while on their X handle are a bunch of nVidia giveaways.
Good thought. I did see that they were giving the game away with nvidia GPUs.

Between this, the bungie news, and the random SE quote about doubling down on xbox; im starting to feel like this another coordinated smear campaign by Phil and crew to make up for the horrid week they had last week.
And Sony is going to stay completely silent like the idiots they are. Everyday multiple attacks and they revel in it.

No way this is a serious tweet from Paul. Has he achieved another level of dumbassery journalism 101?

Becoming more likely if more hits like Wukong and Baldur's Gate 3 are skipping the platform. Also, Rockstar comes across like the studio that would do it without a thought. This is the studio that is skipping PC and has no issue having the PC base wait years for their games.

If GTA6 pushes the PS5 hard, there are obviously going to be issues with the game on Series S.

It would not be surprising to hear the game end up delayed on Xbox at all and that is as much a game over as you'll find for the generation.

The primary story of GTA6 will be the PS5 Pro most likely.

Rockstar wouldn't delay the Xbox release. What they would do is go to Microsoft and say, "if you don't allow us to only release the series x version first and come back to the series s later, we're just going to launch on PS5 only, until both Xbox versions are done" and ms will bend over backwards to allow them to do it
