Poll How would the gaming world react if MS dumped their ABK content onto Game Pass on the eve of FF7 Rebirth's release? (33 votes)

it would completely overshadow FF7 Rebirth's release 27%
nobody will notice because people are too looking forward to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's release to be phased by such a development 36%
fanboys in gaming press will put their thumbs on the scale and elevate the FF7 Rebirth review scores to the best aggregate score any game has ever received 12%
Xbox's will be harder to find at retailers because everyone will want one 9%
Xbox Game Pass subscriptions will go through the roof and Microsoft will announce the new milestone subscription numbers sometime after 15%
fanboy warring will go nuclear 18%
Sony gets more serious about making PS Plus Extra/Premium better 3%
other (elaborate in comments) 24%

I don't think MS is planning this to be a dick, just the timing of whatever contracts ABK had with Sony preventing content from coming over might expire sometime soon, more specifically I see it plausible it could happen in last week of February at earliest. That's also coincidentally the same window FF7 Rebirth is set to release. Of course, Microsoft can't comment exactly when that will be while they're still under the terms of those deals.

But this poll isn't so much about the will it, just more an IF-THEN hypothetical if such a thing happened.

@last_lap: agree with your assessment that COD is bigger than FF. I think the part you are missing is that FF7-2 is a new game ( regardless if it’s a remake) whereas most people who play COD or Diablo will already have purchased them at this point so doubt the impact would be that big!

For me personally it would probably delay my purchase of Rebith a bit as I would be busy playing the various SP campaign in COD:)

The sound strategy is to add a few games each month.

What other platform is this game releasing on when it launched on the ps5?

So you are using terms like launch? What does that have to do with being multiplatform?

Umm go look up the word “exclusive“. If this game is launching on the ps5 ONLY then guess what?

IT’S AN EXCLUSIVE! Now later on it may or will become a multi platform title but that only happens when it officially becomes playable on other platforms outside the ps5. Stop diluting the word exclusive because your beloved MS doesn’t believe in the word anymore.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It was actually announced by Square Enix as multiplatform 🤣🤣🤣🤣. So now Square is lying? W T F

"when it officially becomes playable on other platforms outside the ps5." - Ermacness' definition

Go look up the word “exclusive“.

How can it be a multiplatform game if it’s playable only to 1 platform?

SE was referring to the future of the title, but if the game is only releasing on the ps5 initially then that’s what the term “timed exclusive“ means, in which it’s still an exclusive for a limited time.

Stop the desperate spinning.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The CoD deal should bring more new people to Gamepass, more than what a remake will bring to PS5.

I don't care for either though.

I HIGHLY doubt it, but to each it’s own.

Please don't tell me you think FF is a bigger franchise than CoD?

I guess by not replying to my post while replying to others in this thread says that you agree FF is not as a big of a franchise as CoD, and therefor CoD would bring more new people to Gamepass than FF7R part 2 will to Playstation.

No, FF isn’t as big as CoD, but CoD is already out, and plenty of people have already played it. Now I’m not sure if the remake is a brand new game, but if it is, then that’s why I believe that this new FF7 remake will potentially make a bigger splash with the ps5 player base than CoD going to GP will for the Xbox player base .

@ermacness: I said bring NEW people. So CoD being on Gamepass should bring in more NEW people Gamepass os opposed to new people to the PS5 for FF7R part 2.

Lets hope Phil decides to do this. Would be great for us gamers.

Sony has the superior games, Microsoft needs to do something like this to remotely stand a chance.

A game that is multiplatform is multiplatform.

Final Fantasy Rebirth will be released on PS5 and PC.

So let me ask you a question:

Is FFR releasing on both the PC and the ps5 on day one?
