They're switching to windows. I've doubted a gen 10 xbox sdk will exist for a couple of years now. The new handheld that can't play xbox sdk games was the latest clue.
This is how the studios are avoiding layoffs between games and training up newbies. Also, having the sequels on PS5 but not the first game(s) is weird. Only Horizon and GoW have this problem now, at least.

More of this please!
Re: 'Absolutely Terrible Idea': Nobody Likes Sony's New PS Plus Experiment
Option 5: I don't use PS+ Extra/Premium
Re: Rumour: Persona 6 Release Is Way Closer Than Most People Think
Hopefully they don't screw over players (and the game) by putting it in game pass.
Re: PS5 Is Finally Getting One of PC's Biggest Cult Racing Games
Terrible trailer if this is actually a racing game or is the point to just drive around and look at scenery and crash cars on purpose???
Re: Xbox Will Show PS5 Logos at Showcase, But May Adjust Moving Forward as Execs Publicly Contradict Each Other
Matt Booty showing that he failed up yet again.
Re: These 12+ PS5, PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (1st-7th June)
Wow! People still buy Tour de Drogue?
Huh.
Re: Bungie's Maligned Shooter Marathon Goes Free-to-Play for a Full Week on PS5
Here's hoping there are some UI fixes beforehand.
Re: Sorry, Astro Bot's New PS5 Update Doesn't Have Anything to Do with State of Play
I'd love to see Team Asobi do something with Toro and Kuro.
(They were in the Japan-focussed State of Play last year).
Re: PS5's Destruction AllStars Delisted and Disabled Without Notice Due to 'Ongoing Technical Issues'
This should have been a proper Twisted Metal without the on-foot aspect.
Re: With PS5 at Its Highest Ever Price, There'll Be No Console Discounts for Days of Play
Aren't the tariffs only in the US?
Last fall, when the price went up in the US, Canada had a "back to school" sale on PS5 consoles. It was hilarious.
Re: Sony Wants to Make PS5 Matchmaking More Interesting, But It Could Lead to Ads
@get2sammyb you can't matchmake without plus so... LOL
Re: Sony Wants to Make PS5 Matchmaking More Interesting, But It Could Lead to Ads
This would be a great way to ensure I never use PS+
Re: What Do You Want from a May 2026 State of Play Showcase?
I expect Barlog's next game to get announced.
Hopefully none / a minimum of Sid Shuman's fake smile.
Re: What a Twist! Ex-Tekken Boss Harada Opens New Studio Under Fatal Fury's SNK
@Questionable_Duck
I totally agree and I don't buy Tencent games either.
Re: What a Twist! Ex-Tekken Boss Harada Opens New Studio Under Fatal Fury's SNK
WOW!
Sadly, I didn't know about the SA connection and can't support companies run by a murderous homophobic theocracy.
Re: Pragmata's Uncanny New York Stage Was Meticulously Crafted By Humans to Look AI-Generated
I was but then capcom thought grace face looked good.
Re: Some PS5 Users Really Are Paying More for Their Games on PS Store Than Others
I haven't seen anything like this in Canada.
I usually wait for 50% off on AAA anyway.
Re: Some PS5 Users Really Are Paying More for Their Games on PS Store Than Others
@SMJ
Yeah, this is weird (I used to do ecomm).
If the user is logged out, why would you target someone who can't pay?
Re: This Musical Turn-Based RPG Could Be a Breath of Fresh Air on PS5, and It's Out Very Soon
Looks good! Hoping for a demo.
Re: Sony Finally Confirms Horizon Co-Op Game, Horizon Hunters Gathering for PS5, PC
Sony, why are you spoiling your own state of play announcements?
Re: Another Key Assassin's Creed Dev Leaves Ubisoft
NetEase?
TenCent maybe?
Re: The End of an Era: Sony Spins Off Iconic Television Business
Such a shame.
TCL won't get a dime from me.
Re: New EA Partnership Will 'Reimagine How Games Are Made' with AI
Looking forward to this blowing up in a homophobic saudi exec's face.
Re: Bungie's Maligned FPS Marathon Makes Its Return in Closed Technical Test This Month
Did they fire the Art Plagiarism Director yet?
Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral
@Brydontk I know a lot of people that only have a Switch.
Re: 'Told You So': Ex-FTC Chair Lina Khan Is Having the Last Laugh Over Xbox's Activision Acquisition
It was always a bad idea.
Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral
Re: competition.
Sony will still have Nintendo to compete with and hopefully a new SteamBox to replace Xbox in the market.
Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral
They're switching to windows.
I've doubted a gen 10 xbox sdk will exist for a couple of years now.
The new handheld that can't play xbox sdk games was the latest clue.
Re: You Can Get Excited for The Game Awards, Says Reputable Journalist
No thanks, the show doesn't respect the actual awards (and Geoff is annoying).
Re: Feature: Everything You Can Do in PS5's New Welcome Hub
FYI: you are serving fake ads about a Canadian political party leader.
Bye!
Re: Making Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona's Immaculate Menus Is 'Really Annoying', Says Director
I'm really not liking what they did.
The font and colours hugely decrease legibility and the "cool" glitch effects are a distraction.
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'
Every studio should sign even a small deal with Sweet Baby just so these losers find a different hobby to vent their toxic insecurity.
Re: Don't Nod 'Disappointed' by Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Jusant Sales
Banishers is on my wish list but it's really long.
Re: Reaction: Why There Are So Many Unnecessary PS5 Remasters for Games That Don't Need Them
This is how the studios are avoiding layoffs between games and training up newbies.
Also, having the sequels on PS5 but not the first game(s) is weird. Only Horizon and GoW have this problem now, at least.
Re: Sony Priming 'Even Less Exciting' PS5 Remaster for State of Play
If 43% of 60M people want a Horizon remaster, that sounds good for Sony.
Re: Sony Pulled Bungie's Head Out of Its Ass, and an Ex-Lawyer Reckons That Was a Good Thing
Now we just need sony to pivot Marathon to a solo/co-op campaign with a decent multiplayer mode.
Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Adds Welcome Hub, Adaptive Controller Charging, Much More
FYI: Explore is US only
Re: Capcom Finally Breaks Silence on Dragon's Dogma 2, Confirms New Update Is Incoming
I still haven't bought it since it isn't finished yet.
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
I think it's funny that people thought this would be $600 when the new 2TB series X with no other upgrades except a paint job is $600.
Re: 'It Makes Sense Why the PS5 Pro Price Is So High,' Say Tech Experts
@GreatAuk
LMAO cheers!
Re: 'It Makes Sense Why the PS5 Pro Price Is So High,' Say Tech Experts
@TheArt
Or series S issues keep devs off xbox since games don't sell there anyway.
Re: 'It Makes Sense Why the PS5 Pro Price Is So High,' Say Tech Experts
@GreatAuk
People in the US don't know about anything outside the US, generally.
Re: 'It Makes Sense Why the PS5 Pro Price Is So High,' Say Tech Experts
When this is on a shelf next to the 2TB xbox that has a new paint job ($600), it will seem like a bargain for what you get.
Re: Concord Will Remain in Prime Video's Secret Level Anthology Series
@anubisvel That would be hilarious.
Re: Days Gone Director Roasts 'Small Game' Astro Bot PS5 for Deacon St John Cameo
LMAO.
Massive David Jaffe characteristics.
Also, calling him Deek is eew.
Re: Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown Review (PS5) - Flawless Driving Stalled by Technical Issues and a Lacking Hong Kong
@N1ghtW1ng
Driveclub got f'd by the PSN hack and should have been delayed. Such a good game that I still boot up now and then.
Re: Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown Review (PS5) - Flawless Driving Stalled by Technical Issues and a Lacking Hong Kong
@BoingX2
係呀! 仆街 KT Racing啦!
Re: Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown Review (PS5) - Flawless Driving Stalled by Technical Issues and a Lacking Hong Kong
I love HK and was looking forward to this when it was announced, thinking there would be an awesome vibe sort of like Sleeping Dogs.
I watched someone playing early access...
The race is run by a white american?
The clubs are run by a Japanese and a Latina?
There isn't even a cheesy Canto vs. Brit trope?
This game is a joke!
Re: Soapbox: I Spent 3 Days with the Concord Trophy Hunters Who Dedicated Their Lives to Unlocking the PS5, PC Platinum
Awesome to hear!
GG!
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Is the Best Game of the Year So Far
Woot! Really great to see!
