It makes sense. They have acquired a whole company.

Neither do I, but not everybody has the financial means to play on all platforms.
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Redfall / Starfield are completely different things. The timed-exclusivity period for FFVII Remake was for 1 year, which expired years ago. It's SE that's not porting the game to Xbox.
Redfall and Starfield were stopped from coming to PlayStation because of Microsoft's intervention. Yet they kept chanting "more games for everyone" and scoring positive PR points.
It was extremely hypocrite of them. And I hope reasonable minds here, like yourself, at least call them out for this.

and people wonder why the ABK acquisition is getting such intense scrutiny
Microsoft only has themselves to blame after how they handled Bethesda
*The CMA will remember that*

The same thing happened when Xbox fans praised MS for removing the draconian DRM from The Xbox one after the shitstorm from legitimate gamers. They deserved no praise for trying to pull that shit on their consumers. The fact that they even dared to try it matters and they should get scrutinized for that, not after they saw the preorder numbers and got scared and backpaddled.

Any and every Bethesda game that was in the works before the acquisition was multiplatform title (some timed). Nothing shocking

Technically they didn't say to them the PS5 version was canceled. Just that they had to focus on PC and Xbox.
I am just saying that meaning of words is important nowadays in those interviews. They still could release it later on PS5 without having lied in the interview.

I'm just waiting until someone here says,
"Well, it is true. Phil is not lying. They really didn't put Redfall's and Starfield's exclusivity in documents. They told the developers verbally to cancel the PS5 versions. So yeah, stop lying and defaming Phil Spencer. Nice try!"

the game's creative director, Harvey Smith
I don't think that that will fly with anyone.

More than logical. Who would buy a 7 billion dollar company to release its top assets to a direct competitor?

They are workshopping this
."With the addition of the Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players.
Must be the other Phil Spencer I guess."
That doesn't count for reasons.

Please, tell me you are being paid for this.
Because if it's for free it is really pathetic.

You're being disingenuous though, as Sony has exclusives and that it is essential for having a brand. And it's one thing to bring some franchises to multiple platforms but not others, like Call of Duty and Minecraft vs single player games that help sell systems.No, it doesn't.
Frankly, expecting the competition to hand out all their content while your favorite company never gives out anything is nothing less than unmitigated gall.

All of them when they got deals with PlayStation. Original Kotor was an Xbox exclusive game btw. Don’t forget final fantasy 7 remakes and 16. Street fighter 5 too. someone will come up with bullshit saying Sony helped the development of these games. Guess what, Xbox is helping with all of Bethesda’s game development.

Last time I checked, Microsoft did not remove any games from PSNNo, it doesn't.

Yeah, nobody is drinking that hopium anymore that COD would remain multiplatform. Not anymore
And both Xbox and Sony has exclusives. Sony doesn't go around buying multiplatform publishers and forces them to cancel Xbox versions. They also don't release statements every week that "gaming is for everyone" and "when everyone plays, we all win."

My theory is that people have mixed what was said about CoD and what was said about Bethesda due to low attention span or dishonesty.
MS has done exactly what they said on the Bethesda deal.
literally everyone on this forum can play games on game pass, even ps5 owners, all you need is a half decent connection, a windows pc or a mobile phone.

Did they take away the PS5 version of Redfall or not?

First they didn't remove any games because it wasn't announced.
NOW they didn't move games that are on PSN.
You guys REALLY love moving that goalpost.

No, because it was not promised to be on PS in the first place. Now, Stellar Blade on the other hand...
It is the same thing. It was neither announced nor available on PSN. You could not pre-order it for example.
Anyway, this news are nothing special.

Nah man, they just buy rights to iconic characters like Spider-Man and deny him to everyone, or they buy third party exclusives and exclusive levels and such.
Face it, this is a dog-eat-dog business.

None of this is surprising, and neither will it be when Bungie's next game excludes the Xbox despite what anybody said during the Bungie purchase.

"Promised" get the hell outta here
It was planned with the aim of being released on ps5 until microsft came along and stopped it.

After the 10 years? Probably not. That’s enough time for Sony with “the best first party games” to create their own fps franchise.

Sony made them cancel their Xbox versions?
We didn't have a source for this until today.
It's obvious that every game would have had as many platforms as possible planned.
Ive never been in the camp that PS5 versions of games didnt exist before the purchase. I believe a multiplatform developer will have absolutely planned to have their games on every platform possible. Of course Microsoft made all these recent games exclusive. They even sat down after the purchase and told the world. that's what the purchase was for.
"But if you're an Xbox customer," Spencer continued, "the thing I want you to know is this is about delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists. And that's our goal, that's why we're doing this, that's the root of this partnership that we're building - and the creative capability we'll be able to bring to market for Xbox customers is going to be the best it's ever been for Xbox after we're done here."
