    I guess I might like to play Sea of Thieves again if it’s going to have a wave of newer players. It became boring when the only people playing were PVP fanatics, and all the casual players had been scared off.

      They added a casual game mode, that I think is offline.

        See that’s the thing, I’m decently experienced at the game, but mostly in a PVE context. I feel like that’s not so satisfying to play if I’m never showing someone less experienced the ropes (Deep Rock Galactic, meanwhile, maintains that satisfaction - and it doesn’t have PVP allstars popping in as competing mining teams to dominate us)

      Bizarrely, Microsoft is refusing to name the four titles, but the company says that two are community-driven games and the other two are smaller titles.

        I also don’t have a PC. I have a Mac for general computing and a PS5 + Switch for gaming

            I’ve had my eyes on the steam deck since it went OLED, I’d do that before an Xbox, although tbh I’m happy with my current setup. If I really wanted to play it I could on my Mac via porting toolkit but I’d rather just plop on my couch and play on the TV, my preferred method of gaming. So back to my original statement, I wish it comes to PS5 or switch! I don’t want to have to buy an Xbox!

      Seems to me they’re just trying to squeeze a little bit more value out of their more niche games that aren’t really system sellers.

      Lol they’re a very distant third, and none of this is going to convince anyone to buy an Xbox.

      Ignoring any debate on the merits of exclusives generally, this is “lol their console tanked so bad they have to start to put their games onto other platforms to make the revenue they want”.
