Zarsky 263 Report post Posted September 21, 2020 That was one sneaky uppercut, MS... I wouldn't be surprised if currently announced titles will roll out as planned, but further down the line everything becomes xbox/pc/xcloud exclusive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the good of gaming, I hope they keep releasing on Nintendo, it’s not really a rival when is downgraded and released after a (long) while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to believe that they stop. They don't have a portable gaming device and I doubt Nintendo makes Gamepass available on Switch even tho it should technically not be hard to pull of. They recently also added all their games to steam and it's just another way to get extra revenue for them. Everyone wins. Perhaps that changes once their own platform grows bigger...
