Without data I'm sceptical of this claim Xbox play anywhere has never encouraged me to buy more games it's just a nice to have

SimpleDad75d ago

Game pass also makes people buy more games /s

BeHunted74d ago

With Game Pass you get an extra 20% of Games and 10% of DLCs

I get it for service based games, but otherwise since when is not selling 2 copies better than selling 2 copies.

I actually have found myself using this feature a lot. I know it’s heresy to say it here, but yes. I low key regreted for a bit getting some games physical instead of play anywhere as I wanted to play them without being near my series x.

The numbers are most likely inflated, a user account begins play on console and then moves to PC that is the same usage case not an additional one. I'm sure there are double-dippers but most likely not he in the numbers they suggest at least without 3rd-party verification. With remote play on all of the platforms these days one can argue every game is play anywhere but of course your perfoprmance and enjoyment will vary. However, it does look like that crossbuy and crossplay will be a big selling point for both PS6 and Xbox Helix come holiday 2027.

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma28d ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay27d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger27d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2327d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.

Phil Spencer killed the Xbox Let It Go move on to PC

They would be better breaking up what valued assets they still have and put them out to auction for the competition.
There is no more financial gain for them on any trajectory in the entertainment space.
