Insider claims Starfield could come to PS5 in 2025 after more Xbox games 'this holiday season'

Well regarded insider, NateTheHate, has said that more Xbox games could be coming to PS5 'this holiday season' followed by Starfield in 2025.

[ThinkThink]

The latest rumor is flight simulator 2024 is heading to PS5 this year.

[romulus23]

That would be a great game to go multiplat. I would definitely pick that one up on PS5.

[helicoptergirl]

I would too

[fr0sty]

@fr0sty

Ooooft. Receipts

[OtterX]

That would be an absolutely fantastic score for PSVR2 if they have any VR support plans! MS Flight Simulator (2020) is one of my favorite VR experiences over on PC. Not so much a game, but one hell of a VR experience!

[M3talDiamond]

Where is this guy I havent seen him on N4G much lately?

[OtterX]

@M3talDiamond - I've been around, just not as much. Fam visiting, and been helping an indie team release a game, so that took a lot of focus. Thanks for noticing! haha

[Skate-AK]

I think they were talking about fr0sty's link.

[OtterX]

@Skate-AK ah ok, I was confused as heck, didn't even know if I should respond bc I legit just came off of an N4G hiatus. XD

So he just responded to the wrong person, gotcha. I hadn't even seen or clicked on Obscure's link til now!

[Ethereal]

I'd be all over this.

[Knightofelemia]

Even if the rumor was true and if that did happen. I still wouldn't play or own a game that is classified as open world just to run into invisible force fields.

[Rebel_Scum]

Then what is your solution to open worlds that obviously have to have a point where they must end?

[Knightofelemia]

@Rebel_Scum

Really? Do you even need an answer to your question? The point to open world games is not to run into invisible force fields but to explore ever nook and cranny of the game hence the term open world.

[Barlos]

Same here. I won't be buying any Microsoft Games game

[Notellin]

Wow you're such a tough and smart guy taking that stance! You're really changing the world Barlos.

[helicoptergirl]

I hope you don't mean any and all Xbox games.

If you do mean all of their games, then why not buy a game you're interested in? MS are a 3 Trillion dollar company. People with your stance are not going to make a dent, so you might as well take advantage and enjoy playing on Playstation (the best place to play) with their games AND Xbox games. Who cares about giving them money? It's killing the hardcore Xbox fan that you even have the opportunity to play Xbox games on playstation. So why not indulge. The more games they sell on Playstation then the more games they will port over in the near future. Certain obscure people will die inside along with many others. I'm laughing all the way to the "Games Bank" and I hope you do too.

[DaCajun]

Every open world games have invisible walls. So i guess you never play any open world games. If you don't believe me then you've either never played any Open World game or you never explored every corner of an open world game because there is no such thing as a true open world go anywhere game.

Gotta love a troll, just be honest you're a Microsoft hater. It's ok I dislike Microsoft also but at least be honest why you commented.

[Neonridr]

remind me of an open world game that went on forever.. I'll wait.

[Rebel_Scum]

ok, so what is your solution then?

[isarai]

If it came to ps+ ill try it, but im certainly not spending my money on it. I wanted this game to be awesome and it just seems so incomplete

[Barlos]

Exactly. It's fine to rent it on Xbox so why should they expect people to actually buy it on PlayStation? They don't deserve your money.

[Neonridr]

kinda like No Man's Sky when it first released.. amazing how updates can change a game, huh? Zero reason why this game couldn't be more fleshed out with updates and add-ons.

[mkis007]

Bethesda doesnt have a history of supporting their games after paid dlc ends for very long...certainly not in the realm of no mans sky's free ( all of them) updates and additions.

[Destiny1080]

send phil, some more dev kits

we need all xbox exclusives games ported before phil shuts them down

[neutralgamer1992]

We were often ridiculed by Xbox enthusiasts, but it’s essential to understand that Microsoft's $100 billion investment was aimed at generating profit, not merely pleasing fans with Day 1 Game Pass releases.

Microsoft should consider releasing all its games, including flagship titles like Halo and Gears of War, on PlayStation. This strategy would maximize revenue while still releasing games day one on GP, money which could then be reinvested into the future of Xbox. While a few loyal fans might be upset, this approach makes the most business sense in the long run. Even put forza on PS5 get the sales. On Xbox gamers get these games day on GP while other platforms pay full price. Win win

[nzjono]

Huh? "We were often ridiculed by Xbox enthusiasts" Its the other way around, their ship is sinking, and they have known this for some time.

[neutralgamer1992]

Once these acquisitions were announced, many Xbox fans felt that the primary aim was to take games away from PlayStation. Any suggestion that Microsoft wanted to maximize its return on their $100 billion investment was often dismissed with claims that Microsoft doesn’t need PlayStation or Nintendo to profit from these acquisitions.

Historically, Xbox operated independently within Microsoft, for better or worse. However, with such a significant financial commitment, Microsoft's goal is clearly to maximize revenue. They can still release these games on Game Pass at launch and also sell them at full price on other platforms. While some Xbox fans might react negatively if Xbox games appear on PlayStation, from a business perspective, it makes sense to leverage a platform with a much larger install base.

Phil Spencer and his team are under pressure to grow revenue and profit. It is becoming increasingly clear that achieving this growth solely within the Xbox ecosystem is challenging. Many Xbox gamers now expect Microsoft to cover the costs of games through Game Pass, rather than purchasing them outright. Considering that Xbox, now in its fourth generation, accounts for only 15-20% of overall software sales while its competitors are setting sales records, it is crucial for Microsoft to explore broader strategies to ensure profitability.

[neutralgamer1992]

It’s the dumbest you have heard because changing of goalposts have been a thing Xbox fans have been doing for decades now. Yea a company that just bought out 2 giant gaming publishers along with many other studios will never be an underdog. Them being in 3rd place is their own fault so now you can consider them a. Underdog Allan’s want while rest of us still see right through another goal post being moved

And maybe you didn’t read but when a console has 70 million sold and another 30 million so why is it surprising to you or anyone else that each gaming site has more PlayStation accounts. Keep punching air since you don’t have any valid argument to stand on

[Notellin]

You clowns were never ridiculed by Xbox enthusiasts. They are the underdogs and a massive minority and that statement is made up nonsense.

You guys need to quit playing victim in the fake war of console wars. The loudest fans are PlayStation fans and it's not even close.

[neutralgamer1992]

The celebration of Activision's acquisition was met with enthusiasm, and any concerns about recouping that investment were dismissed with immature remarks. It's clear that PlayStation has a significantly larger fan base, a fact underscored by the fact that all their home consoles, except for the PS3, have sold over 100 million units. A larger fan base naturally leads to a more substantial online presence.

It’s absurd to label a company that has just spent $100 billion as an underdog.

I don't have a preference for any particular platform (I use a PC), but calling out issues shouldn't label someone a hater or a fanboy. If we can't discuss matters affecting all gamers maturely, we're missing the point.

Publishers are motivated by profit and see us all simply as gamers, regardless of platform. Their goal is to divide us and exploit us, but we often do a better job of dividing ourselves.

In 2024, we should be united to stand against unfair policies from publishers. Instead, we're arguing and failing to acknowledge when our preferred platforms make mistakes. We need to come together for the betterment of the entire gaming community.

[Notellin]

@neutralgamer1992

"It’s absurd to label a company that has just spent $100 billion as an underdog."

They're in last place they're the underdog. No way to debate that unless you move the goal posts.

In the case of your example the team that spends the most money always wins and is favored. The dumbest shit I've ever read on this website now by a mile.

[Notellin]

Man this is still the dumbest shit I've ever read that has received up votes on this website. But the community here is absolute garbage so I'm not surprised.

[BornKing]

Im hoping the Fable trilogy gets added at some point

[helicoptergirl]

I'll buy it if it comes to Playstation at some point. Why not

[nzjono]

No one wants it anymore. Move along...

[JackBNimble]

I think you're missing the point, xbox games are slowly coming to ps5, the very reason not to buy an xbox.

MS isn't recouping any of their investments if they don't open their games to all platforms. I would hate to have bought into xbox at this point.

[Hofstaderman]

Just give me Master Chief Collection and Gears Collection.

[Ninver]

Literally the only 2 titles IP's I care about. They can keep the rest

[darthv72]

Not sure if you have an XB or not but if you do, and you had these already.... what benefit would it be to get them on PS?

This is why I buy all the platforms. you dont have to play the 'will it come to (insert platform here)?' game.

[helicoptergirl]

Any Xbox games are welcome on Playstation. The more the merrier lol. I'm currently playing Grounded and that game is amazing. It's a 10/10. I don't know what it was like at launch, but now it's really really good. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it. I'm playing it solo and it really amazing. Doesn't hold your hand and it's fun exploring and finding secrets.

[Shane Kim]

No thanks.

[Elda]

It seems MS/XB are definitely going multi-platinum now. I highly doubt solely PS5 owners will buy Starfield at retail price if & when it's released for the PS5.

[Barlos]

🤣

Keep it. I still wouldn't get it, even if it came to PS Plus

[Nacho_Z]

No interest in Starfield even if it was a free monthly game, but not being able to play future ES and Fallout would have stung. Seems like that might not be an issue.

[Tedakin]

If they were exclusive you could just buy an Xbox or a PC and not lock yourself to one platform. The only reason you can't play them is your allegiance to a plastic box.

[Nacho_Z]

I don't see myself buying a console for the sake of a couple of games. I'd just skip them.

[Notellin]

No, they would rather post things like this than actually play games. This is N4G were talking about.

[Notellin]

I'm sure it won't sting too bad you'll still be posting in here about your loyalty to a brand.

[Tedakin]

Why are we still listening to insiders and writing clickbait articles. It COULD happen. Anything COULD happen. Wait for official confirmation.

[Profchaos]

Halo isn't even off limits the Xbox is pretty much on life support for the next few years who know next gen might just be a Microsoft branded steam machine

[Demetrius]

Wow Microsoft really not even trying with the Xbox area anymore 🤦🏾

[anast]

Good PS+ game. It will run better on the PS5 too.

[saint_seya]

If i didnt have an Xbox Series X, or a good gaming PC, the ones i would like to have on my PS5 would be both Ori games, and maybe Forza Orizon. Some probably would say other games, but for me the ones i played the most where those from Xbox.

[StormSnooper]

I wonder what Sony thinks about all this. I mean, clearly they like it because they are allowing MS to publish on their platform as if they were any other publisher, but there has to be more going on behind the scenes.

[Psychonaut85]

I got HiFi Rush, only “exclusive” I was interested in. And then they tanked the studio. So I’m good. They can keep the rest of their mediocrity over there.

[Suave_Langosta]

Maybe by then it’s got enough work put into it to be worth playing again. I have had it since day one, played maybe 10 hours, maybe. I’ve heard it “picks up” but my overall enthusiasm for the game was slashed with my experience while playing. I think the game can be good with good expansions and updates (which is ridiculous that games can be saved like that these days and that’s another conversation) but it’s unfortunately just not what I was expecting.

I will also say I did find No Mans Sky to be better(not great) than the general consensus when it launched. So I can jive with a bare and broken game if it tickles the right fancy, but Starfield just wasn’t it.

[Jingsing]

So basically Microsoft is going to copy Sony's strategy with PC, talk about a company out of ideas.

[BillyCrystals]

No thank you to Wokefield

[Giga_Gaia]

The only thing from Microsoft I am even interested in is Forza Horizon 5 and maybe State of Decay 3, but this is probably vaporware at this point. Anything else Microsoft do is pretty much garbage.

[jlove4life]

Full Slate coming too PS5 DWYD

[hiawa23]

Microsoft Games(formerly Xbox) should just rip off the band aid and start porting all games to PlayStation and every other platform and just be the largest, richest multi-platform publisher cause the Xbox base is just not large enough alone, and they are not selling that many consoles anyways, so why delay the inevitable. I think I am going to switch buying multi-plats for the Series X to the PS5 anticipating the release of the PS5 Pro anyways.

[PhillyDonJawn]

What's the point, PS gamers said they have no interest in Xbox games and they werent any good
