NEW Todd Howard Interview Suggests Starfield Isn't Coming To Playstation 5 Anytime Soon! 

More of our games will go to other platforms does not mean every single Xbox game will go to other platforms.

Phil Spencer did not say everything is coming to other platforms. He never said that. He simply said that more of our games will come to other platforms.....not everything. 🙄

Phil already said dont think that the whole slate is going because it's not & also they basically said they wouldn't send games that would hurt the Xbox brand so that would take Halo, Gears, Forza & Fable off the table.. Everything else is a case by case basis which I'm kool with considering the fact that we get everything day 1 on game pass & keeping Halo, Gears , Forza & Fable console exclusive to the Xbox keeps me at peace 😎

All the games aren't going to other consoles people need to relax

It may not ever come to ps5. It'll take to long

i believe it’s only gonna be a few select games that were already Multiplatform.

Great convo & insight, Boom & Fuzzy.

I'm of the view that if anything is a one and done title (like Pentiment or HiFi Rush) or the game is a live service title that benefits the most from being on all platforms, they'll stay on xbox and pc. Doom is an already existing franchise that has even been on the Super Nintendo so it is sensible to keep it playable on everything (especially Switch 2 lol)

I wouldn't even play this game for free after playing a few hours of it.

I have the ultimate edition on steam do I just need to re Install the game I got all the achievements in basic game

watched the entire interview... didn't see this part ((Suggests Starfield Isn't Coming To Playstation 5 Anytime Soon!))

Until there is solid confirmation and a date, than it’s just all hopes and dreams for those individuals who believe rumors

@Boom the great always on time never late

If Starfield ever went to PS5, it would instantly be a 9.5 on Metacritic overnight. lol. SF is great, and is the only decent space-themed game for consoles (I would have said Elite Dangerous, but unfortunately no space legs for consoles. And while NMS is awesome, it gets old after a while).

I don't think Tod's statements had anything to do with the game going or not going to other platforms. This statement was relating to the question Matty asked about new IP. Why would talk about the game going to playstation during the interview lol Jezz said the same thing about sea of thieves - he said how RARE had their hands full and was certainly not developing or for other places.... then we find out that a lot of RARE didn't even know about the SoT port. They themselves don't need to do the porting specifically. I think the game is definitely getting ported at some point. I've always been with the belief that the game would get some kind of complete edition or game of the year edition 2 or 3 years after launch once they pump out most of the dlc and major expansions

I bought xbox for starfield coz my pc a potatoe. Never regretted.

Microsoft isn't saying that. Microsoft never said competing platforms is getting everything. As I understand it now, it's still case by case basis. I can assume most games will come over, But not Halo, Gears, Forza, and Starfield. Those games are certified by Xbox community. Starfield was review bombed by others, remember?

Oh come on now, Boom. You didn't read between the lines. You took what was said in the interview completely out of context and repurposed it for the console war. Now I agree with you that Starfield isn't coming to Playstation anytime soon, but talk about trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. It was very entertaining. I watched the first four minutes and laughed for ten, so that made me happy. GG. A like from me.

Xbox is my main console brand. I enjoy Playstation and Nintendo too. If Microsoft is giving away the store for money then just become 3rd party. There no sense of purchasing Xbox hardware if Playstation is getting everything. Sure I'll probably pay more for the same game and wait awhile for it, but I'll have excess to everything. Playstation __ will be my dream console and have the best of both worlds sort of speak.

Man, reforged pony isn't going to like this news..🤔🤣!!

This is a clickbaity stretch. What a major inference I dont want it to end up there either but id rather live in reality. Hopefully gears and halo stay off, phil has said as much

Bro you said it yourself xxbox is your preferred platform so who cares if they have no exclusive.... Game pass gives you them free anyway 😂

Its only fair, PS couldn’t even bring Horizon Lego to Xbox, A LEGO GAME ! But they do plan to release it on PC & the SWITCH ! Lmao SMH

It’ll go to PS eventually but they’re not a huge studio, at least at this time. They only have approximately 250 devs so it could be a fairly long time before it would. They have their hands full as it is right now but I wouldn’t hold off buying into the ecosystem hoping it’ll be there in the next year or two. Might by the time the nextbox hits.

1st😂

In my opinion..... Starfield is not going to go to PS for a very long time. Eventually? Yes...but not for a long time. Why? Because it is is simple. While there are other criteria to consider - legal issues as in the case of COD or legacy titles such as Doom for example - there appears to be one major factor for consideration, one major criteria for MicroSoft to put a game on other consoles. Does the game attract players into buying into the XBox eco-system? Simple criteria. Does the game encourage gamers to buy an Xbox? Does it generate subs into GamePass or act to keep them there? Hi Fi Rush did not. Great game...but MicroSoft didn't market it. Grounded did not. Also a great game but again, no major marketing push. Pentiment? Great little game but niche at the best of times. Sea of Thieves? Great little GAAS game that keeps well...but it is also 7 years old and isn't bringing the same level of growth. If you want to see which games are going to go to PlayStation or Switch, you just need to ask - is this game brining in subs or selling consoles? If they aren't, then MS will send them off to other consoles where they can spread knowledge of the IP, get people and players invested, recover some money and hopefully encourage those players to invest in the XBox eco-system. The same excuse Sony is using with its PC strategy - but more honest and with far great hope of success. StarField? Despite what the press and Ponies say....StarField is a success. It brought people into GamePass. It sold well. It is still making news months after release when other games such as Spiderman 2 or FF7 have been forgotten. Noone is talking about Sonys supposed big hitters these days. But StarField is still making headlines. That success is why StarField isn't going to PlayStation or Switch anytime soon. And by the time it drops off in popularity enough to warrant such a transfer...it might not be worth it. There are few 3 or 5 year old games that would sell well. In short,. what MS appears to be moving to is a strategy of Timed Exclusivity, albeit with exceptions. Once a game is of no benefit to GamePass or Xbox, once the value of exclusivity has run it s course, then it'll be sent off. It'll still be of value to the XBox community and GamePass simply by being in GamePass - eventually, there will be a huge number of games and titles and the advantage here is no licensing fees, no royalties, etc (though we have yet to see if games like Indy or FH5 have a lifespan) - but MS isn't going to value an exclusivity that has no value. And with MSs development pipeline, it'll be able to bring in one or two games as exclusives for every game that loses that tag and releases on other platforms. Not least because MS likely still needs even more dev teams and publishers to guarantee it that steady stream. But if it does get up to 100m subs - plausible if MS handles things right - then it can easily fund 50 or 60 AAA development teams and still have plenty of profit. Thats the benefit of services like GamePass and NetFlix...costs are relatively static and once you have enough subs to cover that, everything else is pure profit. This is a strategy that PS cannot compete against. Its own player base will be spending huge sums on XBox and MS games which MS will then use to fund its own eco system. And Sony lacks the money and development teams to even counteract that strategy. Right now, it is spending millions money hatting games like WuKong but the truth is, it is burning money. For every game it money hats like this, it could be funding 3-5 first party titles. But it has to burn that money or be put where MS was in 2016....."PS has no games". If Sony spends its money on games development, then it cannot spend money on buying 3rd party exclusives to cover any gap in its release schedule. Not unless Sony spends much more money on its PS division with limited prospect of increasing its profitability - Sony might even go into the red if it chose such a strategy. Conversely, if it released no games for a few years while it transitioned to a more MS style approach, it would lose its market share. A very fine line to walk and one where it isn't likely to pass unscathed - PS seems likely to lose its dominance over the next 5 years.

Starfield gonna release the end of this year on PS5.

I think you’re definitely right Boom. Phil was just saying it without directly saying it you know? 🫡
