What the fuck !!

Well this sucks for us PlayStation users. I guess that’s one way for Microsoft to compete with Sony’s exclusives. Greasy bastards.

Isn’t Arkane’s next project that was shown during the PS5 reveal (Deathloop?) supposed to be a PS exclusive? Guess not anymore.

Holy shit. If this means Bethesda is going to be Xbox exclusive thats a game changer for me.

Who are the studios and what are their major games?

Remember Minecraft has never went exclusive and Microsoft bought them in 2014.. Could be a situation where everything ends up on Game Pass but you can also still buy it at full price anywhere else.

First they bought the studio gunning for Bethesda Game Studios, then they bought BGS, and their parent company!

Microsoft isn't playing around, this is a big move. Considering how anti-consumer Zenimax/BGS have been behaving, and with M$ going in the opposite direction. this isn't bad news at all!

Hopefully this helps give us the Evil Within 3, gamepass needs content after-all!

edit* Holy fuck, they own fallout now!

If M$ wishes, Obsidian can make the Fallout game they've wanted, without BGS cockblocking them. New Vegas is still the best Fallout game yet!

 

[Sakurabaism]

Still thinking of buying PS since I already have a rig.
