The big Xbox story on social media right now relates to the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and it concerns a rumour that's been shared by content creator NateTheHate - who says the game is going to PS5 in 2025.
Specifically, it's mentioned that Indiana Jones will launch for Xbox and PC at some point this December, while the PS5 version will arrive in the first half of next year. Here's a look at the tweet that's causing all the fuss:
I try to ignore the rumours and leaks (specially after seeing leaks of Switch 2 for last 5 years), though I did hear that there were plan to release more games on PS, but after seeing the reaction they reduced it to just 4 games, but who knows.
Disclaimer: By hear, I don't mean personally, just somewhere online.
It would be a bad thing for consumers if they did. Not initially, but in the long run.
If Xbox' biggest games reliably all came to PlayStation, what need would there be to buy an Xbox? And if nobody is buying an Xbox, why would Microsoft make them? And if Microsoft stopped making Xbox, gamers would realistically have only one choice when it comes to a real home game console (Nintendo has removed themselves from the competition ever since the Wii, I doubt they would step up). And when PlayStation is the only option, what competition is there to drive prices down and quality up? What motivation or incentive would Sony have to make a better product when they make the only option people can buy?
Sure, PlayStation gamers right now like the idea that they can play all the games on their console of choice, but many have a very shortsighted view on the topic. The only one really benefiting from Xbox games being on PlayStation, in the end, is Microsoft and Sony, not gamers.
