The rumor being Astro Bot coming to PC would be disappointing and doesn't make sense, considering the developer has heavily teased it so its pretty much a locked thing.

Will only be exciting if its something else.

I can see Helldivers or maybe Ronin going to Xbox. Or the latter to PC.

Game Dev - Astro Bot Director rules out PSVR2 version but wants to hear from fans about potential PC version

Speaking to MinnMax, host Ben Hanson asked creative director Nicolas Doucet if there was any interest in a VR version of Astro Bot. “No chance,” Doucet replied. “It’s designed for a different medium.” When pressed by Hanson if there was a “zero percent” chance, Doucet reiterated that if the...

Concord sold to Ms and it's becoming the biggest multiplayer game ever.

 

[Fabieter]

On a serious note. I think this is more about xbox than pc.

 

[Unknown?]

God of War Ragnarok coming to Series S ?

Going to look like Minecraft but, yes!

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Astrobot to switch?

 

[HogIsland]

You guys are way off, it's Playstation Dreams coming to Apple Vision Pro.

 

[Leviathicus]

Astrobot on pc maybe

 

[DenchDeckard]

You say that in jest, but realistically the number would be closer to 1,500,000, minimum.

Yeah, I think it would achieve 1.5 to 2.5 mill on Xbox. It screams Xbox userbase.

But, I don't think for a second Sony would let it go to Xbox, that would be insane.

 

[AJUMP23]

Let me know when we know.

 

[MALpractice311]

Ok, for real, if Sony is serious about courting the PC audience, why are they still waiting on Bloodborne Remastered? I don't get their refusal to go after a very obvious audience (see the sales of DS3, Sekiro, and Elfen Ring).

Helldivers to Xbox, cross play would boost the population.

and put Sony in a position where every single exclusive they release from here on out with people wondering if it's going to Xbox. Is that worth it for one game and a temp population boost?

Helldivers 2 for Xbox sounds interesting tbh

Astrobot switch 2 lanch game

This. Though that is already happening with PC (and will cause growing issues over the longer term), at least that's PC. Xbox has historically been a direct competitor to PlayStation, so even if currently Xbox is a failure of a competitor in the console space, the optics of SIE putting big games like HD2 on there would just look very bad for them.

Plus it'd just give Phil Spencer more reason to keep yapping and yapping, which we don't need more of. The guy is in love with his own voice, I swear.

Anyway I think if there's any truth to this rumor, it's FF XVI. They don't specify if it's a 1P game, and SE really think pushing big multiplatform will miraculously catapult their games even if one of those platforms is a desert for B2P sales outside of a slim selection of (mostly Western) games. It's the one that makes the most sense, I'm just curious if it'll be a Game Pass thing or not because if so, that Xbox version isn't coming until sometime early 2025 at soonest.

I can see Helldivers or maybe Ronin going to Xbox. Or the latter to PC.

SIE own the IP rights to Ronin and it'd be disastrous if that was a game they put on Xbox as it'd open up a can of worms for GOW, Horizon, TLOU, Tsushima you name it to also get Xbox ports.

And we'd hear nothing but Phil Spencer crying about those games not being on Xbox as "anti-consumer" and "not benefiting anyone", same thing he's already done with Helldivers 2. We'd have to suffer with all the media shills and influencers parroting the same talking points like mindless bots, over and over again.

I'm just so tired and bored of that crap. Ronin to PC would be a mess optics-wise for SIE for other reasons, but at least in-line with what they've kind of already been doing regarding ports of non-GAAS titles.

Yeah, Ronin on Xbox is unlikely, but I don’t see a big issue with it on PC considering all the other games coming in to PC already from Sony and at least it would give the game another sales avenue.

Eh, I wouldn't say it isn't a "big deal", considering they want to push the PS5 Pro but that sell gets harder the more of their big games are on PC before the Pro even drops.

But yeah, comparatively speaking, it's the lesser of the two evils (PC vs Xbox).
