Bro just stop. This dude unironically pulled the "Microsoft isn't forcing you to do anything, you can just develop for PS5!" card.

Like way to be technically correct in a completely irrelevant way.

I’m talking regular every day pricing. You buy a year of xbox gold for 59.99$ then one month of game pass for 15$ (or 1$ if you’re lucky and can just upgrade) then it will convert your entire membership to game pass ultimate.

Edit: you can do this if you purchase 3-4 years of xbox live gold as well. One month of game pass converts the entire thing

Sure there are deals. PS Plus usually goes on sale for $40 on black Friday. We'll see what they do this year. For accurate comparisons, we have to go with advertised prices.

Uh huh, sure.

Just an FYI, Series S is holding developers back from doing anything innovative and that's why Microsoft's's current gen systems are stuck making last gen games even 2 years after launch. That's what this thread is about.

I was actually referring to Rocksteady calling it a potato but ok.

I'm not here to field your redundant questions. I don't know what "next gen" will be. Current gen is PS5/Series X. You can tell when you see zero load times in games like Demon's Souls Remake, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank, etc. 4k at 60fps is another trademark with some having lower res options at 120fps like Nioh 2. Those are some examples of what makes a game current gen. I have no idea what next gen will be.

With premium you can have game trials, for cyberpunk 2077 and other stuff(if possible you can switch the subscriptions to one or three months insted of a year.)

What I would do is list it and the games for $200 or best offer as your preferred price and have a lower price like $150 as your as low as you'll go and just take the best offer. Include good pictures and description so potential buyers don't need to ask you dumb questions. Good luck!👍

‘IF’ you ‘WANT’ Is not the language used when you are saying people are forced, they can just develop for PS5 instead can’t they? The developer you are basing the argument on is a character designer on ‘I am fish’ and ‘Surgeon Simulator’ not what I would call a particularly top tier dev and you haven’t answered my question about what makes a game next gen?

For $100 per year, Extra is 400+ games plus the 3 - 5 games per month and another 19 games for PS5 collection. It averages to about $8 per month. It's about the same amount of games as Game Pass Ultimate which is $15 a month. Game Pass gives day one games but for almost double the yearly price.

For an extra $20 a year, Premium gives you an extra 300+ games for what averages out to be $1.50 a month. Most of (but not all) these games are PS3 games that require streaming and, as a result, are lower quality and may even have some lag. Imo, there are plenty of good games that are unaffected at it's still worth the extra $20 per year. This package is essentially close to 800 games for $120 a year which averages to $10 per month (the same price as Game Pass PC and its 425ish games).

Well yes they are. That's...the story. Developers (not fanboys) are complaining that Microsoft is requiring them to design to 2 different specs. The Series S AND the Series X. If you want to make a game for Series S, Microsoft is requiring that you make a Seirs S version.
