"Xbox" and "Marketing" are two words that haven't really gone together since after the 360, to be fair.
It's a very annoying case of console exclusivity. I'm wrapping up Spiderman on the PS5 now having never played it before until I got a playstation last month. It's an awesome game and a real shame it's PS only. I would hate if PS owners got locked out of a potentially awesome new Batman game

Linking doesnt help because it doesnt specifically answer my question. All the gamepass articles focus on the aspect i could give a f*** less about, free gamesXbox Game Pass is getting MAJOR changes, with a new tier without day one games, and a range of price increases
Xbox Game Pass is finally getting its long-awaited price increase.
Deadpool I won’t say the game is great but it was my introduction to deadpool and I was dying laughing at times. Genuinely hilarious writing.

Expanded too quickly, and their hardware/gamepass numbers aren't going up. I wouldn't be shocked if this applies to everything under Bethesda and Activision going forward. It will be curious to see what happens with their more traditional IP, as the only non-Bethesda game brought over I believe has been Sea of Thieves.
And Sea of Thieves at least made sense business wise; A live service, multiplayer game does better the more platforms its on. And it showed right away with how fast it moved copies on PS5. That's also something you can sell xbox players as a benefit since more people = game lives longer.
While, I don't regret it, a major reason I built a gaming PC was for access to the upcoming Doom, and Indiana Jones (combined with whatever MachineGames was making next as I loved Wolfenstein), and to get better performance than my PS5 on most Third Party AAA games. And, it turns out pretty much what I wanted is coming to PS5 anyways now. I was happy to get to play Sunshine Overdrive finally, and Halo:Infinites (story) plus Psychonauts through GamePass (did the stacked trick in November of 2022 for 3 years). But, I'm in no rush to renew it at its new price when it expires in 2025 unless they really start locking down their release cadence of high-quality games.
Came here to say the same. Especially because no PS exclusives are coming back the other way to Xbox. Halo on Playstation would be kind of a slap in the face.
Same.
Yeah i'm starting to wonder if i goofed not building a PC.
Nintendo is perfectly positioned as the secondary consoles for most people. You buy it for the IPs and the portability (good way to kill time on a 5 hour flight). I use my PS5 for the PS5 exclusives (they are still coming out about 18 months to 2 years ahead of the PC releases generally, and while not exclusive is like the case for Rockstar games being a year ahead), plus 4K Dvd's. PC I play most 3rd party and Xbox exclusives outside say something like Street Fighter 6 where there isn't a stark performance difference.
Unless Microsoft has changed their stance, it has to release on Series S at the same time so once the developers can squeeze it on there then it should be out.
