Last week the PlayStation State of Play He had to speak: we could comment on the appearance of a lot of new franchises, which is what It really gives life to a system. Almost all of them multiplatform, by the way, what made fans comment that Xbox may have abandoned the fight to focus on taking games for all formats, but PlayStation does not lag behind in regard to feeding his Catalog of non-exclusive.
Multiplatform for all. ‘Monster Hunter Wilds’, ‘Lost Soul Aside’, ‘Borderlands 4’, ‘Split fiction’, ‘Directive 8020’, ‘Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’ or ‘Tides of Annihilation’ will arrive at least, at PC separately from PlayStation, and many of them also to Xbox. This is the reality to be used to: once the war of exclusive is almost closed, The multiplatform takes control. The industry is clearly evolving in that direction.
The hardware, for the soils. Microsoft has been experiencing a vertiginous fall in hardware sales. His reaction has led him to develop a strategy that has made almost all his exclusive games also come out on PC (strategy imitated by PlayStation, whom a few years ago we would not have seen franchises such as ‘Spider-Man’ or ‘God of War’ in computers) and, later, also in PlayStation. Without a doubt, strange times for a crisis economy and scratching benefit anywhere.
Microsoft will publish more in PlayStation than in Xbox. This He affirmed from his X Ryan McCaffrey accountIGN editor, and that perfectly summarizes the paradox of the time we live. In fact, significant Xbox brands, until now insepociable from the Microsoft and PC console, will appear on the PlayStation: ‘Forza Horizon 4’, ‘Age of Empires’, and also recent titles that, given its origin (Bethesda, company owned by Microsoft), logically it was thought that they had the possibility of staying in the Xbox ecosystem, such as the last ‘Indiana Jones’. And although they have not been announced, everything suggests that games that already start with multisystem wood, such as “ South of Midnight ‘,’ Avowed ‘and, perhaps,’ Fable ‘, end up in PlayStation.
Logos is what is sought. In one Xboxera interviewPhil Spencer specified a detail about its passage to other consoles that is still a trifle, but it is tremendously significant: for a long time in the ads of its games, logos of other platforms appear in which the titles will also come out. Spencer says that “I think it’s simply honest and transparent about where games will be available. (…) If a game comes out in Nintendo Switch, we will say it. If it comes out in PlayStation or Steam, too. People must Know what platforms our games can find. ” The policy that now Xbox is not machines, but the screensat its maximum expression.
Everything reaches the PC. Only the most blinded fandom by the need to take sides between one of the consoles can deny the obvious reality that the platform that all the releases arrive is the PC right now. Steam, the most popular PC store, makes very notable efforts to consolidate the experience of a game, and machines such as the Steam Deck They are both laptops to play, but also consoles without more complications.
