Steam is the market leader in PC gaming. There storefront has more games then PS storefront & more exclusive then PS (and those PC exclusive are by default)
Steam now has a hardware called Steamdeck which competes w PS, Xbox & Nintendo & had both Xbox & PS games in 1 platform/ecosystem.
Your already seeing rumor of Valve making a new Half Life 3 which will be exclusive to Steam & never release on any other device/strorefront (not even half life vr can be ported to PSVR2 lmao it took Sony/PS bending PSVR to be compatible with PC)
I see a future where Valve ramps up production & create new multiplayer & singleplayer games using there ip. PS fans will have to ask do I keep buying PS consoles when they don’t have exclusive, PS output is slow, paying premium while on PC/Steam cost cheaper, no subscription on PC/Steam or I get a Steamdeck for the same price as a PS console & play Xbox, PS, PC & Steam games that are permanently exclusive at a much cheaper price then on PS + full emulation with PS, Xbox & Nintendo games. Your already seeing that shift by casuals & hardcore fans.
Nintendo will ultimately be safe because they have true permanent exclusive games.
Playstation releasing games on steam is a whole can of worms and they will get fucked in the long run but not because of the games Valve releases lol. What will cause Playstation to go Dodo is releasing more garbage like concord and fairgames with a regular cadence which seems very likely under Hulst
Of course they can. They blocked Geforce Now from accessing Sony published titles. What makes you think they can't do it with an Xbox branded PC? It will run some sort of Xbox OS so it won't be hard to identify and block.
Besides, Xbox is in the shitter. I wouldn't be surprised if MS drops hardware altogether within the next 5 years.
Sony doesn’t block Windows from Playing Playstation Steam games. Most Steam users are windows based.
Imagine the next xbox is just a windows gaming hybrid box. Not called xbox.
That plays steam, windows games, etc. I doubt Sony will be allowed to just block every windows users from downloading Playstation Steam games
Are you trying to say that Sony doesn't own their IPs?
If Sony can put their games on Steam and in the same way they can remove/block games like every other company from the store.
will Xbox even exist in 2026 they been losing on hardware after they said no console required or will the next console be dropping gamepass on Roku
Just make the thread here instead. We all just have to wait lol
people ain't going to simply just move to PC it's more lifestyle than gaming on console where you constantly troubleshooting on PC as well if their was more ease access then PC would take off more
I've noticed that PC is "master race" until the very real prospect of Xbox going PC has to be considered.
Or your thread was garbage
No need to be mean brah lol. Just leave it
Don’t worry. Just like how Steam has taken away market share away from MS/Xbox it will soon push PS of the console market.

Bro I know this a PS centric forum but holy shit you guys have no clue how valve works, they have a maximum of 250 devs. Also as a studio they are mostly done with single player games unless some employees really champion making one, their whole shtick is having the most profit/employee possible and single player games don't do that. They are going to launch deadlock which is where most of their efforts will be concentrated on for the foreseeable future.

They do. I guess they can. But Im not sure how easy it is, if they have to give a reason or can they just pull out no questions asked
Simple. No store can sell anything without express permission of the owner.

I made a grand shorting nintendo shares before their earnings call, ubisoft and sony seem prime candidates for shorting before the next quarter results.Are you ready to buy Sony shares?
Will today’s insanity in the markets, especially Japan… lead to a Square Enix buy?
if the next Xbox is a Windows PC hybrid like every report is indicating to be, how will Sony be able to block their games from being playable in it? if they block their games from being playable on Windows they block their games from being playable on PC altogether, the same way Sony can't block their games from being playable on Rog Ally or Legion Go, these are portable Windows computers, Microsoft are the makers of Windows, they can very easily adapt Windows to be perfectly console friendly in its interface for this new Xbox console and Xbox handheld, that are both basically pre-built PCs with Windows in it.

my thread had evidence Microsoft is a nasty company and will use every possible opportunity they can to screw PlayStation, they even used the breach of Death Stranding PC port rights to bring the game to their subscription service, they used MLB rights over the game Sony develops to bring the game to GamePass day one just to devalue PlayStation as a platform and Plus as subscription service (since Sony doesn't offer MLB the Show day one on PS Plus), you really think they won't use the PC ports Sony themselfs are making? Phil Spencer was crying because Helldivers 2 was not released on Xbox, this is the level of company we're talking about, they're already working on this new console that will basically be a pre-built PC and as the makers of Windows... they will make sure Sony can't block the games from being playable in it
