It's clear Epic and Sony have a shared interest in the Unreal Engine and I imagine Sony would love to have that as an "in-house" tool. I don't think it'll ever happen to that sort of exclusivity simply because Epic and the UE are in so many other industries than just games, but I do believe Sony will try to make it cozier in the future. sony wouldnt hate having ue but also have like 4 in house engines that are all insanely good already anyway. their studios are good at the tech side.

Microsoft will rebrand GamePass as "XBox" and make it compatible with PS5 (and Switch via xCloud). You will go to your friend's house and point at their PlayStation and ask if they have Xbox. The flagship console will be "Series X with Xbox."

There are accountants locked in a room trying to calculate the benefits of taking some Bethesda games multiplatform and which ones and when. And maybe it's not worth it, I genuinely don't know. But remember that Sony is releasing games on PC now, and will be releasing at least one game on Switch and Xbox. It's not clear-cut and it can be worth it depending on the situation.Terminal autist posted:I dont know how the Bethesda purchase changes anything.

If you're not going to get an Xbox, at least you're playing their games somewhere.
