Also Lost Soul Aside and Convallaria, which Sony picked up for worldwide distribution out of its China Hero Project incubation program.
People can bicker about which bucket to list those in (I personally don't love listing pick-ups of mostly-done games as "by XX", especially with how meaningless the term "publisher" is these days, yet in this case Sony sponsored these from the beginning so no reason to quibble,) but these fit the definition of "PS Studios exclusive games".
(And just a note, despite Sony sponsoring that China Hero Project program, they don't publish all of the games that are made in it. In fact, seven games have been released out of it and I believe Sony hasn't picked up any of them themselves until now... which is a little weird what they let others take or to publish indie, but that's fine by me because we got Switch versions of F.I.S.T and Anno: Mutationem and Hardcore Mecha for those of us who want that option.)

Yep, but I didn't include those two because (AFAIK) Convallaria doesn't have a release date and Lost Souls Aside is scheduled for Early 2024. We were only talking about 2023 games.
Having said that, this does remind us that, despite having no showcase, PS has already announced at least 3 games (that I can remember) for 2024:
- Lost Souls Aside
- Wolverine
- Rise of the Ronin

Yeah and Minecraft Legends, moneyhats like Ark 2, Planet of Lana, ARA: History Untold, etc.
It’s just a narrative pushed by the same people on every occasion, just look at page 1 and the utter blue circlejerk it is.

Srsly I have a massive flashback each time this shit is repeated. I feel like we're having these "please wait a little longer" threads since 2013.

Oh fug, you're right, they didn't give those dates. I've seen these games so many times over the years that I just assumed Sony was picking them up to get out in the near future.
(Although I'm not sure where the 2024 date for LSA got pulled from, it's not on the trailer or PS announcement or developer's tweet, sounds like maybe they said it live at the CHP event stage.)
(Convallaria supposedly was said to be 2023 at the same event.)
(Don't hold your breath for either, just in case, but maybe with Sony handling them they'll not stay in the shop longer than they would otherwise.)

Yeah, everything great is always just around the corner with Xbox.Well you have to understand that they have a lot planned to show for 2023, and you will not have to wait too long for what’s next for them.
But hopefully they manage to deliver next year. StarField and RedFall should be a guarantee at least.
Maybe the news that windows central reported is true. That they pulled the games from TGA due to trying to appear like they don't have any to regulators. The TGA was weirdly short this year.

Might as well list DS2 for 2024 also

We are literally listing DLC as game releases now?

If grounded 1.0 counts as a release so does horizon. I’m sure theres probably more content in the latter release also

The point is, Playstation has a constant stream of first party releases on top of all the third party games. Xbox doesn't. This isn't just about 2022. This has been going on for years now.

Weren't you happy to list Hivemind as a launch title for Xbox series?

TLOU 2 will also like release in 2024, along with Firewalk's game (if that's not released in 2023). But I didn't include any of these because the dates/years have not been officially announced.

Que Phil with a 'we know you aren't happy' tweet. Again.

I've lost hope tbh. I even want them to lose the suit against FTC. I don't want them to ruin activitison blizzard (what's left of them) and fill them with useless MTX and DLCs that no one cares for (halo infinite etc)
at this point of time, we should've had decent, solid, extensive gameplay trailers / demos from some of the games they were producing. it seems like situation is simply bleak. timing is a lie.

Of course not, there is plenty of games to play on Xbox -- just significantly fewer top-tier games when compared to PS. As evidenced by GOTY nominations this year. 4 out of 6 GOTY nominations aren't playable/available on Xbox.

Imagine if MS had guys like Reggie, Shu, or Shawn Layden in charge of Xbox.

The game is made by a third party studio but the IP is owned by Sony. The same as it was with Insomniac before the buyout.

This is why those arguments can never be taken seriously. Just queue in any HI game mode today and tell me if it looks dead to you.
I wish there was a scoop update function for all the bots here but alas…

Seems as likely or unlikely a reason as any (why plan a reveal though and then pull it, it's not like this regulation issue is new...)
At least Phil Spencer got a comfy seat to sit in all night...

Eh, come on, we're all having our fun here dogpiling on Xbox, but they're got many good games out. FH5 and Flight Sim aren't ruined by useless MTX or DLC (those add-ons have been pretty good actually,) Sea of Thieves is still worth playing, so is Grounded, some other stuff. Even Halo Infinite, it's been a damned mess, but not without its joys amidst the frustration. Every developer is having a hard time this gen and in these times, and MS compounded the issue by announcing a ton of games which were really not games yet, just concept renders, but there's no reason to assume they ruined anything of Bethesda (actually, you could tell that they didn't ruin the first few Bethesda games... when you played them, on a PlayStation...), and Starfield alone will help balance out the conversation next year. And there's no indicator that they ruined any of the studios they acquired (they certainly haven't ruined them by rushing them along to release or show any of their games...) IMO, all these projects will be fine (and some of the shitstorm stories like the shifting seats for Perfect Dark might be what the project ultimately needed,) it's just a matter of when we'll see them and how much the wait will be worth.
In any case, Activision ruined Activision a long, long time ago...

It's Jez so could be a complete fabrication. The FTC planning to block the deal is relatively new though. I don't think MS expected that.Seems as likely or unlikely a reason as any (why plan a reveal though and then pull it, it's not like this regulation issue is new...)

You sure on that?

Launch to date, Xbox has 10 90+ games and 96 80+ games, while Playstation has 8 90+ games and 97 80+ games.
I think your definition of ‘significantly fewer’ is quite different from the one everyone else in the world uses.

It's an exciting time to be an Xbox game pass user. So many games coming out day one on game pass. High on life is next for me.

Grounded has tons and tons more content than dlc for HZD (I know, I have played both) so I seriously doubt it.

At least two years, unless you want the game on alpha stage
My problem is Hellblade. It's close to become vaporware by now
A lot
Are these Games exklusive / from their bought / own Studios?
If I can play them on xbox, what does it matter who made them?

I think many people in this thread are referring to high quality AAA content not available to every platform and PlayStation has more of that high quality AAA content.
I don’t think I need to post the metacritic links again so I’ll just post the summary:
Launch to date, Xbox has 10 90+ games and 96 80+ games, while Playstation has 8 90+ games and 97 80+ games.
Could you just tell me what your definition of the word ‘more’ is because I think it’s different from mine.

I forgot to mention they are also referring to high quality AAA content in recent years.
Also, I'm taking about AAA games.

First and foremost they need to convince everyone, but especially the regulators, that they have absolutely nothing at the moment.
The Sony zealots seem to be convinced already and thereby approved the Activision deal.
The regulators can now clearly see as well what a small fish MS really is. This probably means we won't get any news until April.
I’ve always deemed AAA to mean 90%+ or maybe 95%+ if you need to be harder on it.
Xbox matches Playstation for 95%+ games, and xbox has 2 more 90-95% rates games.
Do you have an objective definition of AAA or do you think it’s more subjective? Because from what I can see Xbox has got playstation beat.

I can't imagine many consumers that buy consoles follow the Xbox pr guy, but that's just my guess.

Who dare to show their latest played games list? With no clicking around to alter the list.

As someone who used to prefer Xbox I’m pissed at what has happened this year.
The only upside for MS this year for me is their PC strategy, I’ve played and enjoyed a couple Gamepass games on PC.

Not 100% sure what you meant, but this list isn't for GOTY nominations. We were talking about GOTY nominations: 4 out of 6 games that are nominated for GOTY are not currently playable on Xbox.There aren’t only goty games outside.
The games on this list are nominated for other things (e.g., A Memoir Blue is Games for Impact), not Game of the Year.
