Ori 2 and Gears trilogy if they keep the multi a la MCC. No comment either way on the unreleased games.
It's kind of sad that's literally the only stuff when there is a solid decade of published games on that poll.

I already have an Xbox Series X, so none of them unless they were better on PS5 and weren't on GamePass
As for the future? When PS5 Pro comes out, that may change as the difference will be more tangible....so I guess PS5 Pro and I will just cancel GamePass

Really uninspiring list and just kind of highlights what the real problem is. Their games are just not that great hence the struggling console sales. I’ll probably buy hifi rush when it inevitably hits PlayStation and I’d maybe try Ori out, MCC also for nostalgia sake. That’s really it currently.

Open to see what if any do come across to other systems.
But on that list
Gears trilogy (with cross play, yes please
)
And I’ll bite and take a punt on Indiana jones & blade. Surely one of these has gotta come good
(Would also go for some original perfect dark and a handful of rare classics to replay
)

My reco for you PS/Switch gamers who never played games under MS (including HB).
- Gears. If you like violent cover shooters. Has a story to follow if you care about it. I think every game has horde mode too (like a survivor mode) except Gears 1. You dont need to play the series from game 1. It's your typical aliens vs. humans ground war of chaos.
- Halo. If you like old school arena kind of shooter red vs blue kind of thing. Fast paced, 20 ft floaty jumps, lots of ttk. If you prefer low ttk military shooters, you'll likely hate it
- Forza MS or Horizon. One is a circuit racer, one is an open world racer with MP and objectives and zooming around from location to location. Totally arcadey kind of game where your sports car can plow though fields, rocks, smash throw fences and jumps off ledges. Seems to sell and review better than MS, but I prefer circuit racers. I cant take the constant gabfest party atmosphere of fireworks and celebrations just because you drive to a new hub. It's like a college frat party in Horizon games
- Flight Sim. Niche crowd kind of game, but I think just about everyone has dabbled with the game to check out their city looking for their own neighbourhood. I did. It's not a 100% recreation of things at ground level, but reasonably close as you should recognize the birds eye streets, highways and buildings. One thing I noticed right off the bat is the highways are not close to being 1:1. It gets them wrong with wrong on/off ramps and the collectors lanes could be totally wrong or non-existent.
- Hellblade. Only play if you love unskippable cut scenes which are probably half the game. Any trailer you might had seen for HB1 showing tons of action where you think it might be a big hack and slasher is a total lie. Who knows what HB2 will be but probably similar. It's probably 70% story, 20% walking around, 10% fights. If you hate cutscenes, HB1 will be an insta-delete. In the first hour it's got to be about half an hour of unskippable cut scenes. No joke. I deleted it after an hour.
- Gears. If you like violent cover shooters. Has a story to follow if you care about it. I think every game has horde mode too (like a survivor mode) except Gears 1. You dont need to play the series from game 1. It's your typical aliens vs. humans ground war of chaos.

Rare Replay 40th Anniversary edition next year, I guess. I would pay 40 euros for that.
My childhood friend had an Xbox. He wanted always to play some boring shit called Halo, while I wanted good games like Conker (and Super Monkey Ball).
That being said, the true Microsoft games of my childhood were Motocross Madness and Monster Truck Madness.

Can’t really specify. I’d buy the ones that are good/I want to play and that I think will have some replayability, given there’s physical copies available.
I don’t think I’d buy any on Switch currently, but I’d definitely get a physical copy of Hi-Fi Rush on “Switch 2” down the line, for example.

There is a lot of games that would cater to different audiences. MS could literally check boxes on most gaming Categories And have a competiteive game on platforms in each category.
An example of this:
Fighting game: Killer Instinct
Strategy: Halo Wars, Gears Tactics, Age of Empires, StarCraft, etc.
Honestly though, in my mind, Halo is still one of their top IP’s. This franchise must be corrected ASAP. I would definitely bring the old Halo games to multi platform. My reasoning, is trying to fix the IP and build towards the future which is likely no sooner than 2026-2027.
I am also fascinated with Goldeneye XBLA. The canceled game. I would be VERY curious to see how this sells across all platforms if released with crossplay.
MS also has to decide what to do with Blizzard games. World of Warcraft could be a huge opportunity across Mac/pc/consoles and honestly mobile!

Hellblade 1 is still available on PSN but you might have to buy it through the PSN app or website.
I voted for a few but will get everything on Steam instead probably because of free online and future compatibility on future Steam Decks. Might support-buy HFR on PS5,
Forza Horizon could be a great chill title on PS5 if it gets DualSense trigger features. But if I need PS+ for the online features I would probably skip it.

The next COD. Maybe Hellblade 2 if it turns out decent. A future Elder Scrolls game and Doom.

None, I have them on pc through gamepass. However, when the next elder scrolls goes to ps6 (maybe) and fallout, my will be weaker than a ps6 id guess so that would be a possible path for me to take.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Pick up an Xbox series s and play those games now the rumors could still be false.

Don't buy Sea of Thieves on the Switch. You will get destroyed by seasoned Xbox and PC players running around at 60 & 120 FPS.

I used to get destroyed on Series S anyway. The combat is so crap that the skill gap between hardcore players and casuals is basically a mountain.
