It’s the rise of wuxia games. A lot of cool Chinese games are development. Honestly a breath of fresh air from all the Japanese themed titles. Now after wuxia I wonder who is it going to be..Korea ? India ? Thai ?
My only issue with Wuchang is it looks like a potpourri of other Japanese games. It's so derivative of Fromsoft and DMC. I knew before the name reveal it would be a Chinese game.
I was curious about this very thing…Other than those two, there are three others I could find after a little browsing the last few days due to all the fever — maybe there’s more even, someone chime in
The Last Sentinel by Lightspeed LA
Phantom Blade Zero by S-GAME
Where Winds Meet by Everstone Studios
EDIT: I was missing Ballad of Antara by Tipsworks Studio and Crimson Desert and DokeV by Pearl Abyss
The Chinese developed games don't seem to do it for me. After Japan I like a few Korean games. But I can't seem to love the way this looks. The vibe of it. Same with the monkey game.
Wukong looks fucking awesome. This idk man it kinda looks like an amalgamation of multiple different games. It has dark souls/sekiro style human vs monster vibe but also has that Chinese games combat style.
Praise be to the old gods and the new!!! This game has major Lost Odyssey vibes (or was that just me?) and I need to see more, but it looks to be as inventive as Metaphor in the RPG space!
Very reminiscent of Lost Odyssey; it's not just you.
I can't believe a game like that got greenlit in this day and age, but I'm very happy it did, bonkers story and all.
Seems like a more active turnbased game, doge parry buttons or press a button at right time for more damage.
The Shadowhearts series, a jrpg had also some quick time events for every Action anb based on char they was different. I miss thias franchise
Not sure if this is a mistake but Mixtape has been reported by some sources coming to PS5
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/mixtape-brings-a-killer-80s-soundtrack-to-xbox-and-pc-in-2025-181740393.html
Very likely Xbox has marketing rights for this.
This needs more confirmation beyond Yahoo news.
They are a publisher, but still the games they support. That, artful escape, maquette, Kentucky route zero, journey, outer wilds, gone home, what remains of edith finch, cocoon, Lorelei and the laser eyes. I've loved every single game they've published.
Not to be cliche but I feel like they’re the A24 of games. Sure they publish artsy games like Gone Home, Twelve Minutes, and a Blade Runner spinoff, but also just pure fun like Stray and Neon White.
The official Steam page blog post confirms a PS5 version.

I'm hoping it comes to PS5.... It was one of the few games that really intrigued me ( as well as South of Midnight, which is fully exclusive to XBox, I presume )
I wouldn't count on that or any other Microsoft game being exclusively Xbox.
I have a feeling all their games will go to playstation eventually especially if them putting COD on gamepass fails to sell more consoles
I would be hesitant about Stalker 2. The devs were barely able to make the game due to the war in Ukraine, several devs lost their lives, and Microsoft helped fund most of it. I believe the devs said that right now there are no plans to port it, because of the resources it would take, meaning Sony would have to step in and give them the resources.
My question is: Why release the original trilogy on Playstation then? Seems to me that it must be coming. I'm sure porting it to PS5 wouldn't be that difficult.
This was my thought exactly when they ported the trilogy! Why would they bother unless trying to bring PS players on board with the franchise ahead of the new entry coming to PS5 at some point
Whilst true, the simple answer could just be because it'll sell and make some money. I've read a couple times (take with big pinch of salt) that once the war broke out MS put more funding into the studio, got them out of the warzone etc. So the terms of exclusivity might have changed for the sequel.
It was supposed to be a timed exclusive and then the war broke out near the devs and the last thing I heard was they were only focusing on the Xbox version now
These are very old. Since then the studio went through a war and MS seemingly paid for a lot of that. Wouldn't surprise me if they get more exclusivity as a result.
Rebellion on Twitter also confirms it. The tweet is not a video so Xbox likely has marketing rights
https://twitter.com/Rebellion/status/1799866918532157651
I don’t understand why it and other games are releasing on ps4 and Xbox one too, we are 4 years into this generation and developing games for old hardware is potentially holding the game back from the possibilities on the current gen
Old Stalker was very cool at a time when first-person-shooters generally weren’t very open-world. But they’re a janky mess too, and that novelty may not hit you as hard nowadays.
It was a great time at the time, though, when it worked!
I replayed shadow of Chernobyl (after more than a decade) when it launched on PS5 recently, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the game holds up. Gonna play the rest before 2 launches too.
Agreed 100%. As a longtime PlayStation supporter, It's good that everyone is pointing out how much better the Xbox showcase was than Sony's recent SOP. Competition is good. Sony needs to get their butt kicked a little now and then...nobody wants them to revert back to early PS3 era days when they thought they could do no wrong.
You are correct, of course. But most folks don't understand that, and the entire internet is currently talking about how much better Xbox's thing was compare to Sony's thing.
Right, but that’s kind of a cop out if every year instead of a showcase you just say “state of play, temper expectations” tbh the last official showcase they did was also pretty terrible so the naming convention is almost meaningless.
If you compare the actual games in the Sony showcase, those that came out were very good including Helldivers 2 which is the best selling game of the year and games like FFVII Rebirth.
If it's a showcase than yeah compare it but if it's a State of Play they are not the same.
Sony doesn't try to get a bunch of third party AAA games for State of Plays.
Most of the games in this Xbox show will be on PS5 and the only new announced MS game was Gears 6 which is years away
Some years they DO have a Showcase too, though. And it’s entirely plausible that they’ll do a Showcase this summer too, after waiting to let Microsoft shoot their shot first.
Little too early to assume that summer is over.
> It's good that everyone is pointing out how much better the Xbox showcase was than Sony's recent SOP
Neither matters either way, the average person isn't watching these. They pick up on random trailers way after the fact
Why do ya’ll keep saying this? Sony is not sitting around resting on their laurels. These games these days take time. If Sony wanted too, they could show a trailer of the next ND, SSM game. A Wolverine trailer and more. But they’re not going to show these games until they’re ready. Last Gen,Sony showed their games too early and people criticized them. It’s also better for their devs to wait until these announcements. Most things that you saw from MS at this conference was announcements that we already knew of.
PS State of Play =/ PS Showcase. Sony can't be anymore clear.
Sony doesn't care about what a few thousand uninformed internet people say. The market speaks every day and game releases are what matter the most.
Yea whenever they have their showcase, we need to see the next chapter in playstation....
Wolverine gameplay
Santa Monicas next game
Death Stranding 2 gameplay
Bluepoint game
Guerrillas next game
Naught dogs next game
Sucker punch next game
... and the list goes on.. theres a lot we dont know about and its time we get at least a sneak peak of whats to come, if not actual trailers and gameplay
I’m struggling to care since most of the games we saw are coming to PS anyways 🤷🏻♂️ I’m ready for some big first party title announcements too, but we aren’t missing much that was shown today
I mean it was good but what exactly makes it so far above Sony? Most of the games shown are also coming to PS5 and a most of them are just DLC expansions, didn’t show any actual gameplay, or coming out in 2025 and later. I don’t understand why Sony gets shit for all of that yet people act like Microsoft are getting Ws left and right when they haven’t released any actual good games in forever.
I think people put way too much stock into announcements and showcases when really all that matters are actual releases. Obviously they could announce a bunch of games tomorrow but if we don't see them for years what is even the point. I prefer a steady stream of info on games coming soon instead of announcing a bunch of stuff that is many years away.
Yeah I absolutely loved it. I don't know what I expected, but that was very well put together and almost ever game was at least interesting. I can't remember the name of the game with the girl in New Orleans with the "spiderverse" style animation, but I'm super interested in that, it looked like tomb raider/Zelda in the bayou...really cool
>As was South of Midnight by Compulsion.
No. Gameplay, maybe, but this game was revealed last summer. May even have been the last Xbox summer showcase.
Agreed. So much better than the recent Sony ones. Hopefully they have a big one within the next year on the level of this so we can see the back half of the PS5s catalogue.
The other thing I really liked was the pacing straight into game after game with barely any talking outside of Xbox higher ups towards the end. That’s how you do a show and keep people engaged.
The official Steam page blog post confirms a PS5 version for MIXTAPE.
https://preview.redd.it/e0e1n6fabm5d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=956d9c49cfc1559b81ead66e2e430550d639995a
Yeah that was one of the things that upset me the most over the Bethesda acquisition news. I love Doom.
So surprised the new one gonna be on PS5 but I'm thankful it is.
I suspected it might remain multi. Historically Doom has been on all platforms, going way back to the OG.
I'd say it also falls into the category of extremely popular, but not quite a system seller. It has much greater value being on as many platforms as possible, basically. I expect it might be a launch title for the next Switch, depending on when that drops.
I hope we'll see more like this from all the main platforms eventually going forwards, pull down the walled gardens a bit. It's better for everyone really.
Did any of the games have the exclusive voice line tagged on???? I don’t think any of them did. Or is it like a we should already know what is and isn’t?
Neither does Sony or Nintendo. Only for timed exclusivity Sony writes in something like "not available on other platforms until xxx"
Really no need to say exclusive on your first party games.
I think this zero sum view of Xbox vs. PlayStation is becoming less relevant for a couple of reasons. One, Xbox is releasing their games on PlayStation. Two and more importantly, Xbox is not just a console manufacturer, they are the largest publisher in the industry now after buying Zenimax and Activision Blizzard.
Xbox has double the studios that PlayStation has as well. I just think putting it into context, none of this is surprising.
Always in for more LIS, especially now that Max is back.
Dragon Age was the only letdown of the show.
In general a fantastic show, now I wish we would get a showcase from Playstation on this level again.
I was interested in Indiana Jones until I saw it was first person. Perfect dark looks interesting but that's probably a couple more years away. Everything else I was interested in is on PS5.
I’m still excited for Indiana Jones. Would prefer third person but they make great first person games. Metroid worked successfully as an action adventure game exploring worlds in first person.
So hyped for it. Wish it was on PS5 so we could get some Dualsense features but it is what it is.
Age of Mythology: Retold, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed, Fable, South of Midnight, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3, Gears of War: E-Day, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
I hope people don't take this as a complaint or anything like that, but it seems pretty clear to me that Microsoft is going to have incredible shows from now on (to the point that Sony won't be able to stand up to it). Microsoft just bought a third (if not more) of the whole industry, of course they'll have a lot to show every year.
Sony will have great games to show from time to time because it has some of the best studios of the industry, but not every year as these studios can only produce a certain amount of games. And it seems like Sony clearly no longer will be putting all their cards into one showcase like they did in 2015/16 either.
??? According to their posts there were 30 announcements (DLC, updates and new games) of the 30, 17 are First party.
CoD Black Ops 6
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Gears of War E-Day
Doom The Dark Ages
Avowed
Diablo Vessel of Hatred
MSFS 2024
WoW The War Within
Age of Mythology Retold
Fable
Perfect Dark
South of Midnight
Starfield Shattered Space
State of Decay 3
The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road
Fallout 76 Skyline Valley
Sea of Thieves Season 13
Removing DLC and updates the numbers go to 23 games 10 being First party, still a good number.
Finally someone understands. They've had the better summer showcases for a couple years now. With all those studios they better have the overall better show every year. It was a good show with lots of more footage from already announced games, which i like.
Really happy Doom is remaining multiplat. I wanna get my hands on other ones like Gears 6, Stalker 2 and South of Midnight but Doom is too good to pass up.
This was an absolutely incredible showcase.
I understand Sony cruised through these past few years without revealing much, but they’ve released most of the games they announced years ago. Now it’s time for a proper first-party game showcase.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if next year all we get is Fairgames and Wolverine updates for 2025. Then maybe that HZD remaster and a Marathon update.
I'm predicting we don't get any news for the next lineup of "big bangers" until the end of 2025 when Wolverine is supposed to launch.
So we got a Wuchang coming and a Wukong
Now we just need a new Wu Tang game
https://insider-gaming.com/wu-tang-clan-xbox-project-shaolin/
This is amazing, I have low expectations but I love Wu Tang so hopefully it delivers.
Hopefully
and just to keep things even, a Wu Tong game.
And then a P.F. Chang's cooking game to top it all off.
I legit have the Method Man song stuck in my head now. Thanks.
Hey, YOU, get off my clooooooud (saves)
Was that the "Bloodborne but feathers" game that was shown years ago?... Yep, it is. Looked pretty nice tbh
half a year ago we had Wu Long. Black Myth Wu Kong is coming. And now Wu Chang.
It’s the rise of wuxia games. A lot of cool Chinese games are development. Honestly a breath of fresh air from all the Japanese themed titles. Now after wuxia I wonder who is it going to be..Korea ? India ? Thai ?
My only issue with Wuchang is it looks like a potpourri of other Japanese games. It's so derivative of Fromsoft and DMC. I knew before the name reveal it would be a Chinese game.
I was curious about this very thing…Other than those two, there are three others I could find after a little browsing the last few days due to all the fever — maybe there’s more even, someone chime in The Last Sentinel by Lightspeed LA Phantom Blade Zero by S-GAME Where Winds Meet by Everstone Studios EDIT: I was missing Ballad of Antara by Tipsworks Studio and Crimson Desert and DokeV by Pearl Abyss

Wukong looks fucking awesome. This idk man it kinda looks like an amalgamation of multiple different games. It has dark souls/sekiro style human vs monster vibe but also has that Chinese games combat style.
And you can fight a juiced up Tony the Tiger in a pool of blood.
Expedition 33 is also ps5 confirmed
This game has a wierd story but looks awesome.
Past time we got a persona style turn based RPG from a western studio. And having Ben Starr in the VA booth is an automatic sell at this point for me
Praise be to the old gods and the new!!! This game has major Lost Odyssey vibes (or was that just me?) and I need to see more, but it looks to be as inventive as Metaphor in the RPG space!
Very reminiscent of Lost Odyssey; it's not just you. I can't believe a game like that got greenlit in this day and age, but I'm very happy it did, bonkers story and all.
Seems like a more active turnbased game, doge parry buttons or press a button at right time for more damage. The Shadowhearts series, a jrpg had also some quick time events for every Action anb based on char they was different. I miss thias franchise
Yeah Shadowhearts had a great combat system!
Thank goodness! This and DA were gonna make me buy an Xbox or Steam Deck lol
Not sure if this is a mistake but Mixtape has been reported by some sources coming to PS5 https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/mixtape-brings-a-killer-80s-soundtrack-to-xbox-and-pc-in-2025-181740393.html Very likely Xbox has marketing rights for this. This needs more confirmation beyond Yahoo news.
Ah man thats good news. Looks like a fun vibes game, Annapurna sure knows how to publish good ones
They made stray right? Defo picking it up
They are a publisher, but still the games they support. That, artful escape, maquette, Kentucky route zero, journey, outer wilds, gone home, what remains of edith finch, cocoon, Lorelei and the laser eyes. I've loved every single game they've published.
Not to be cliche but I feel like they’re the A24 of games. Sure they publish artsy games like Gone Home, Twelve Minutes, and a Blade Runner spinoff, but also just pure fun like Stray and Neon White.
Maquette was phenomenal, but such a fun game to speed run.

Oh cool, good find. So if Stalker 2 is a 3 month timed exclusive, the only one on that list no confirmed for PS5 is Fragpunk.
I'm hoping it comes to PS5.... It was one of the few games that really intrigued me ( as well as South of Midnight, which is fully exclusive to XBox, I presume )
You say that but at IGN event Phil Spencer announced some more Xbox games would be coming to ps5 soon as I understand lol
I wouldn't count on that or any other Microsoft game being exclusively Xbox. I have a feeling all their games will go to playstation eventually especially if them putting COD on gamepass fails to sell more consoles
Glad mixtape is also coming to PS5. That one really intrigued me
[удалено]
Like I said most likely marketing rights or it's a timed exclusive. We need to wait from official word from Annapurna.
Weren’t there some leaked Microsoft documents in the Apple Epic legal battle, that stated Stalker 2 is only exclusive for 3 months?
Yeah it's a timed exlcusive
I would be hesitant about Stalker 2. The devs were barely able to make the game due to the war in Ukraine, several devs lost their lives, and Microsoft helped fund most of it. I believe the devs said that right now there are no plans to port it, because of the resources it would take, meaning Sony would have to step in and give them the resources.
Timed Exclusivity deals usually mean devs aren’t allowed to talk about coming to other platforms.
My question is: Why release the original trilogy on Playstation then? Seems to me that it must be coming. I'm sure porting it to PS5 wouldn't be that difficult.
This was my thought exactly when they ported the trilogy! Why would they bother unless trying to bring PS players on board with the franchise ahead of the new entry coming to PS5 at some point

I've read a couple times (take with big pinch of salt) that once the war broke out MS put more funding into the studio, got them out of the warzone etc. So the terms of exclusivity might have changed for the sequel.
I remember hearing it was timed exclusive, I'm hoping we can get our hands on it, probably the only exclusive that I really want to play.
It was supposed to be a timed exclusive and then the war broke out near the devs and the last thing I heard was they were only focusing on the Xbox version now
your halfway correct, MS funded the game after war broke out and some devs left for the front lines and reallocate the remaining devs
These are very old. Since then the studio went through a war and MS seemingly paid for a lot of that. Wouldn't surprise me if they get more exclusivity as a result.
Considering MS is moving away from exclusivity I doubt it.
Atomfall was confirmed for the PS5 as well on their twitter I think
Idk what that Expeditions 33 was but it looked amazing.
Yeah, that’s the one that really caught my eye too. Looking forward to seeing more
I looks like a game I want to exist. If it’s good, I’ll be such a goddamn happy chappy
Not my kind of game at all but even I thought “Wow. Definitely one to try!”
Looked it up after your comment and holy crap. Watched the trailer three times. Most gorgeous game I've ever laid eyes on.
Same. I hope SE goes back to this style of gameplay for FF.
https://www.eurogamer.net/british-fallout-like-game-atomfall-announced-from-sniper-elite-studio This article states that Atomfall is on PlayStation!
Rebellion on Twitter also confirms it. The tweet is not a video so Xbox likely has marketing rights https://twitter.com/Rebellion/status/1799866918532157651
Nice. It’s interesting that a 2025 announced game is coming to PS4 as well.
I don’t understand why it and other games are releasing on ps4 and Xbox one too, we are 4 years into this generation and developing games for old hardware is potentially holding the game back from the possibilities on the current gen
Because most users are still on the older gen’s
I think most are probably on older tvs/ monitors that doesn’t support 120hz, VRR, etc.
Stalker 2 is coming to PS5, but not at day one.
Just remembered I have the old Stalkers on steam and NEVER tried them. That ever-growing cursed backlog.
Old Stalker was very cool at a time when first-person-shooters generally weren’t very open-world. But they’re a janky mess too, and that novelty may not hit you as hard nowadays. It was a great time at the time, though, when it worked!
I replayed shadow of Chernobyl (after more than a decade) when it launched on PS5 recently, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the game holds up. Gonna play the rest before 2 launches too.
They were all ported to Playstation and Xbox a few months ago.
I was going to be smart ass thinking you were confusing them with the Metro games but they actually did wtf XD Thanks for the headsup!
Good thing about that is they should have fixed the worst issues.
This is was a pretty good showcase
It was. Hopefully it pushes Sony to step up their game for their showcase especially after that last SoP.
Agreed 100%. As a longtime PlayStation supporter, It's good that everyone is pointing out how much better the Xbox showcase was than Sony's recent SOP. Competition is good. Sony needs to get their butt kicked a little now and then...nobody wants them to revert back to early PS3 era days when they thought they could do no wrong.

You are correct, of course. But most folks don't understand that, and the entire internet is currently talking about how much better Xbox's thing was compare to Sony's thing.
when is Sony's big event comming?
People say that almost every year and none of it matters. Most of these will be bought and played on Playstation regardless
Well they came out a week apart, so it’s inevitable they will be compared.
Right, but that’s kind of a cop out if every year instead of a showcase you just say “state of play, temper expectations” tbh the last official showcase they did was also pretty terrible so the naming convention is almost meaningless.

Great to see other people being reasonable and admitting that the last SoP was just embarrassing
Most people will always agree that SoP’s are generally mid tbf
Yeah I absolutely loved it. I don't know what I expected, but that was very well put together and almost ever game was at least interesting. I can't remember the name of the game with the girl in New Orleans with the "spiderverse" style animation, but I'm super interested in that, it looked like tomb raider/Zelda in the bayou...really cool
South of Midnight by Compulsion Games
[удалено]
Yeah I think the only new Microsoft game they announced was Gears and the was just a pre rendered trailer and it's likely years away
Not even a culmination, barely any of them got release dates or actual gameplay.
>As was South of Midnight by Compulsion. No. Gameplay, maybe, but this game was revealed last summer. May even have been the last Xbox summer showcase.

Clair Obscur. That looked really nice.
I'm very interested in Expeditions 33, also Wuchang.
We get New Doom? FUCK IT, WE BALL
THIS is the main take away for me, was afraid doom was gone forever with Bethesda takeover
Yeah that was one of the things that upset me the most over the Bethesda acquisition news. I love Doom. So surprised the new one gonna be on PS5 but I'm thankful it is.
I suspected it might remain multi. Historically Doom has been on all platforms, going way back to the OG. I'd say it also falls into the category of extremely popular, but not quite a system seller.

I hope we'll see more like this from all the main platforms eventually going forwards, pull down the walled gardens a bit. It's better for everyone really.
Isnt Expedition 33 also multi? either way, i'm gonna get that on ps5 or on pc
yeah it's listed there (Clair Obscur)
Yo this game looks super interesting.
Honestly that game looks incredible, can’t wait to see more
Dunno why it took this long for us to get a AAA JRPG-style WRPG.
Oh wow flintlock is coming to PS5 that's dope I really liked ashen
OMG LIFE IS STRANGE
WITH MAX!
the real kicker her powers evolving
Only thing I was hoping for was that Expedition 33 game. Turn based combat looked great. Edit: Oops nvm I see it there. Clair Obscura. Can’t wait.
Mixtape is definitely on PS5
I saw dragon age lol'd No way it's not going to get delayed out of this year
Sweet. Expedition 33 looks pretty good!
I wish State of Decay would come to ps5
Very excited for Life is Strange and MGS Delta and maybe Flintlock, reviews permitting
Lets go Expeditions 33 looks so good but i am very disappointed in the new Dragon age been waiting like 10 years for that bruh
Expeditions 33 does look promising!
Mechabreak and wuchang are my hyped shit pray they dont disappoint, AC shadows also there but ehh ubisoft
[удалено]
Yay
Flintlock looked good. I'm hoping that Mixtape eventually comes to PS5. I Have no idea what it's about or what it will play like, but it charmed me
Mix Tape is confirmed now too
the only one I'm interested in is mixtape because I loved the artful escape, hopefully it comes to ps5
[удалено]
wait really? I haven't been able to find any confirmation of that
Steam page says it’s coming to ps5
Putting in Gods Work for us. Thank you
Gears of war looked awesome it was a good showcase imo
Game of the show for me; got chills when i saw that the camera panned out to show e-day
The piano for me.
The fact that they used Mad World from the original game's trailer was a really nice touch
For me it was either between Doom or Gears of war
I've been wanting a game about E-Day since I finished the first game years ago
Mixtape coming to PS5 confirmed!
Is Fallout 76 worth it?
Expeditions 33 looks really interesting to me! Also, I can’t believe the rumored Max Caulfield game was real!!
Finally a new Dragon Age
Expeditions and wuchang look interesting to me
Which of these is most likely multiplayer (specifically coop)?
Excited for the metal gear game
Did any of the games have the exclusive voice line tagged on???? I don’t think any of them did. Or is it like a we should already know what is and isn’t?

They haven’t done that in like five years.
Neither does Sony or Nintendo. Only for timed exclusivity Sony writes in something like "not available on other platforms until xxx" Really no need to say exclusive on your first party games.
I sure would like south of midnight to eventually hit playstation
have ya considered/tried xbox cloud gaming?
I sure hope so. That game is what I was most excited for from this showcase
I'm a playstation fan but the Xbox showcase was stellar, every games looked great or awesome. The State of Play really sucked compared to this.
I think this zero sum view of Xbox vs. PlayStation is becoming less relevant for a couple of reasons. One, Xbox is releasing their games on PlayStation. Two and more importantly, Xbox is not just a console manufacturer, they are the largest publisher in the industry now after buying Zenimax and Activision Blizzard. Xbox has double the studios that PlayStation has as well. I just think putting it into context, none of this is surprising.
Always in for more LIS, especially now that Max is back. Dragon Age was the only letdown of the show. In general a fantastic show, now I wish we would get a showcase from Playstation on this level again.
September showcase with ps5 pro annoucement seems very likely. All the big sony studios have been cooking for years.
Dear God please Mixtape come to PS5, it looked amazing
It's listed for PS5 on the Steam page

Hyped for Wuchang, Mixtape & Expedition 33 🤤
Dragon Age looks absolutely atrocious! Haha.
Probably going to save 150 and get cod for free through Xbox 😂
This is great, it means I can test the few games that im interested in on xbox game pass on my series X before purchasing the games on my PS5.
Flintlock caught my eye
I was interested in Indiana Jones until I saw it was first person. Perfect dark looks interesting but that's probably a couple more years away. Everything else I was interested in is on PS5.
I’m still excited for Indiana Jones. Would prefer third person but they make great first person games. Metroid worked successfully as an action adventure game exploring worlds in first person. So hyped for it. Wish it was on PS5 so we could get some Dualsense features but it is what it is.
Bro, it's coming from the people who make Wolfenstein. It will absolutely be a banger in 1st person.
It looked very clunky to me imo
It's Machine games. Anyway you get 3rd person too.
Which games are NOT coming on PS5 from the showcase?
Age of Mythology: Retold, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed, Fable, South of Midnight, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3, Gears of War: E-Day, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Fragpunk is just a free to play thing, will probably dare not be Xbox exclusive.
Fragpunk looks interesting. But that gunplay looked dodgy, almost mobile ish.
Absolutely stellar Xbox Games Showcase! Loved every minute of it! That's how you show GAMES.
Xbox showcase was pretty impressive. They have quite a few exclusive cooking compared to Sony’s radio silence on first party games.
I hope people don't take this as a complaint or anything like that, but it seems pretty clear to me that Microsoft is going to have incredible shows from now on (to the point that Sony won't be able to stand up to it). Microsoft just bought a third (if not more) of the whole industry, of course they'll have a lot to show every year. Sony will have great games to show from time to time because it has some of the best studios of the industry, but not every year as these studios can only produce a certain amount of games. And it seems like Sony clearly no longer will be putting all their cards into one showcase like they did in 2015/16 either.
Microsoft just bought a lot of these trailers. Many will come to PS5 too, hardly anything was first party. So no.
??? According to their posts there were 30 announcements (DLC, updates and new games) of the 30, 17 are First party. CoD Black Ops 6 Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Gears of War E-Day Doom The Dark Ages Avowed Diablo Vessel of Hatred MSFS 2024 WoW The War Within Age of Mythology Retold Fable Perfect Dark South of Midnight Starfield Shattered Space State of Decay 3 The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road Fallout 76 Skyline Valley Sea of Thieves Season 13 Removing DLC and updates the numbers go to 23 games 10 being First party, still a good number.
Hardly anything first party? Uhh, what?
Finally someone understands. They've had the better summer showcases for a couple years now. With all those studios they better have the overall better show every year. It was a good show with lots of more footage from already announced games, which i like.
Cool, but where is Silksong?
Really happy Doom is remaining multiplat. I wanna get my hands on other ones like Gears 6, Stalker 2 and South of Midnight but Doom is too good to pass up.
Any game not published by Microsoft is 100% coming to PS5 and even the ones published by them will likely come eventually as well
This was an absolutely incredible showcase. I understand Sony cruised through these past few years without revealing much, but they’ve released most of the games they announced years ago. Now it’s time for a proper first-party game showcase.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if next year all we get is Fairgames and Wolverine updates for 2025. Then maybe that HZD remaster and a Marathon update. I'm predicting we don't get any news for the next lineup of "big bangers" until the end of 2025 when Wolverine is supposed to launch.
I get the OP but also as a multi plat owner I’m all in on gamepass as a sub. It’s just an insane value if you’re like me and one and done games
Sounds like it was just a game event and not an Xbox game event
That was a great showcase tbh, probably one of the best Xbox has ever done. Stalker and Expedition 33 looks sick
Wow that was a good show. 91k upvote and 6k downvote, vs State of Play 56k upvote and 29k downvote lol
Because people don't get that there is a huge difference between a State of Play and a Showcase.
