Would you be cool with MS putting gamepass on Playstation/Switch?

More games to play is always good.

Yes, I would be cool with that.

I wouldn't care either way, I really don't like this subscription services.

When this happens, can you imagine how irrelevant the Xbox brand becomes? As is, if you have a pc, its the most useless system we've ever gotten between ms, sony, nintendo and sega. If/when all their games and gamepass comes to nintendo and sony, it will be an unbeatable waste of plastic.

Umm NO!

LMFAO why would anyone want to support the thing that killed xbox on their own devices which have already found great success competing the traditional way?

That's like asking a perfectly healthy person would that they like to have a lump of cancer transplanted in them that just killed someone else.

NO one wants that shit on other platforms now except xbox fans because misery loves company.

@above_average: gamepass is on PC and PC gamers aren't bitchin

Sure. Wouldn't use it there either, but I wouldn't be against it as I'm neither a fanboy or an idiot.

PC is an open source device without a parent company and no direct support system to drive it's make up so there was nothing to "kill" so to speak regarding the PC.

PS and Switch are consoles with parent companies to drive their ecosystem so there is no comparison to PC here.

Also, there is no benefit to having GP on PlayStation because PS+ already has a better selection of games to begin with.

Notice it's you, an xbox fan, who's asking this question and not a Nintendo or PS guy....so yeah!

You've been supporting MS and all their nonsense for a while now while bashing Sony and all their games any chance you could so It turns out you're exactly what you claim you are not.

I have? Where?

Oh, nevermind. Speaking of idiots and fanboys..

Continue to cope and seethe. Your angry flaming rolls off my back like water on a ducks feathers.

lol. I know it doesn't. Please continue to fanboy. It's very amsusing to read.

Of course. You know me, I dislike exclusivity...especially with games in general, but also services to an extent too, I suppose. If Game Pass brings both more games and a different service to a new audience, then I am 100% in favor of it.

Will never happen, though; Sony would be committing suicide by pulling that move. The only money you'd have to give Sony at that point would be the initial console purchase; after that, you wouldn't have to really give them a dime except for the one or two exclusives they get each year.

No, no we are not 😀😁😃😄

More money means more profit which means Xbox win

lol like I said, a bunch of xbox dudes the only one's wishing or asking for this. Nah, ya'll can keep it. It's done wonders for your xbox platform

I'm of the same opinion. The old games are getting boring.

Hello, everyone!

Of course I would be cool with it. It's all about the games and the more people that can play them, the better.

Why this thread is dumb?

The game are ALREADY COMING to those systems!

So, why are people trying to lump "GAMEPASS" in the same breath "getting more games" as if it will be needed to play those games on other systems anyway?

I'm "an xbox dude"?

Wow, first I'm hearing about it.

All games on gamepass are already coming to Switch and PS outside of gamepass? Now you're so upset you don't even know what you're saying.

He's a Sony fanboy that is currently very upset. Everyone who doesn't agree with him right now is Team Xbox.

I cant see SONY or Nintendo agreeing with this... the vast majority of the money would go to MS and the two of them would only be cutting the profit they received from full game sales. Unless MS only demanded like 20 percent this would never work... and even then wouldn't make any sense for MS.

While I don't think it would necessarily be the worst thing in the world, I feel as though there is no shot in hell this would ever happen. That is essentially giving the keys to MS when they're about to throw in the towel. It would take some crazy witchcraft for MS to convince either of them that it would be beneficial to them, and seeing as how they are going to be releasing their once exclusive titles on other platforms soon otherwise... well they don't even have the bargaining chip that people would subscribe because it would be the only way to get Xbox games on another console...

I can't envision this, but I can see MS making what is essentially a Steam Machine and partnering with either Steam or Epic (instead of SONY or Nin)... that would make a lot more sense.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the first console manufacturer to make a hybrid PC/console with PC launchers and console interface and accessibility, ease of use, and better security from hackers/cheaters will win the console wars.

We've seen hybrid handheld/Docked consoles, the next is hybrid Console/PC. If either MS or SONY make a deal with one of the two I see the other making a deal with the remaining option. Of course then again... one could just make their OWN launcher and simply compete against Steam and Epic as well... maybe partner with GoG? Who knows... either way it's probably only a matter of time before the integration happens and things come full circle.

@mrbojangles25: In the troubled world of Sony fannies you are either for Sony or an Xbox fanboy.😂 It has been this way for years

Welp, just comes to show what Lems truly think about the Xbox.

Make it happen Uncle Phil.

Finally, cows would know what it feels like to have new games in abundance and the best bang for the buck in gaming...

lol :P

Doesn't matter to me at all if they come to ps it would lower the need of buying another system to play ms games.

Sure. I still wouldn't subscribe personally but more choice is nice.

I'm just wondering how it could be pitched to Sony/Nintendo to allow it though. What's in it for them? People buying a bunch of PSs, buying the odd PS exclusive and subscribing to Gamepass for everything else would be highly damaging to my (as Sony) business for example.

There is no question MS want it to happen. They want Gamepass everywhere because it makes sense for them to have that. But, at the moment, it just doesn't make any sense for Sony and Nintendo to allow it.

If i was them, the only way I would even consider it is if MS were prepared to cough up 50% + of their gamepass revenue every year AND hand over usage/marketing statistics from all games used through Gamepass.....AND a pony. Even then...losing out on my 30% cut from 3rd party sales and money from licensing fees and the drop in PSN/nintendo online subs (The former I think has more than Gamepass too)...it's a tough sell.

But yeah, from the end customers point of view it would be nice to have the option.

If sony and nintendo agree to put gamepass on its system, first thing MS will do is to ditch the xbox brand. I dont see it happening.

To me, the Xbox brand is about the services and software, not the hardware.

I would love it personally, already subbed for gamepass. And I wouldnt mind playing Ori on my Switch.

Nothing against it.

Nintendo is unlikely due to the lack of crossover between Game Pass titles and games with Switch ports. But PlayStation is NOT going to trip over themselves to allow a subscription service that contains games that PlayStation sells on their own store. EA and Ubisoft only allow demos and discounts of new titles. Day and date is where the majority of the money is made. Game Pass eats into that money. Don’t believe me now?

MOST games on gamepass are ALREADY on PS you nimrod!

The very few games that aren't already on PS is what we are talking about and those are the games that MS is talking about giving to PS5 natively.

See, this is what I'm talking about with shoving your head up MS's ass looking for gold but then pretending you aren't another shill.

You clearly don't know what the hell you're saying talking as if gamepass somehow has a huge catalog of amazing games PS5 doesn't have access to GTFOH

They literally went from praising Gamepass as this amazing thing that was their reason for choosing Xbox to DESPERATELY wanting that shit on PS and Nintendo systems and are MAD we don't want it. LMFAO you can't make this shit up.

Why is it that cows are always so angry and upset 24/7 lashing out like their mother or wife was insulted? ;o

lol :P

@SecretPolice: It is their perpetual state. The angriest faction. 😂

But why is it all these Pro Xbox/MS dudes the ones begging for this shit? Their desperation is palpable.

Misery loves company.

Literally no one is asking for Gamepass to be on any other platforms in the gaming space now other than these xbox/MS refugees.

@Pedro:

And all over something as trivial as VG's. ;o

lol :P

The Xbox PR and social media fanatics convinced folks of this gaming utopia where gamers could play more games for less money. “As a consumer I don’t care about financials, only games.” The financials directly impact the games you goofs. When something seems like it’s too good to be true, it is. That saying is undefeated. By not buying Xbox games, Lems inadvertently killed the current Xbox strategy and may have doomed the brand as a whole.

How does Xbox PR/Marketing fix this mess? And the Xbox Twitter/Youtube personalities… Lmao! They got TimDog out there telling folks to buy the PS5 Pro and he took Xbox off his profiles. The Xbox banner has been replaced by a picture of a cheeseburger lol. Their channels are ruined

I would be ok with it. Still wouldn't subscribe, but im sure some people would enjoy it

yep.. 😎👍

Sure. But there's zero chance Sony/Nintendo would openly permit third parties to bypass their platform license arrangement and forfeit the proceeds to MS.

If MS ever gets GamePass on other platforms, it will only be able to offer a select set of games from its own catalog, third party titles will be disallowed. That is, unless the FTC gets aggressive about breaking down walled gardens, then things might be different.

I wouldn't care since I don't use the service at all, and have no problem with others getting access to more games on what they play on. Sony and Nintendo would though. Adding a competitor's service would give a slice of the pie to them, and potentially take away game sales/services that they would have made, ie Persona 3 reloaded would give Sony that 30% cut selling on PSN, but if gamepass is available on Playstation, they get gamepass and play persona 3 reloaded without sony's cut, and Microsoft gets it.

yes and vice versa..I broke down and bought an Xbox S because I wanted to play their new games and my X one shit the bed. I'll probably build another gaming PC and some point and just use that for PS/MS and PC gaming.

Umm no, I left the Xbox franchise during the xb1 era for a reason , lack of good games. MS still haven’t fixed that problem. So Phil, I’m begging you, please let GP on Xbox/Pc for ever .

No!

Cows reaction if they ever got Gamepass on PlayStation..

It is pretty sad that MS has to rely on Cows to save the xbox brand, since Xbox gamers are too poor to buy games :(

The more I think of this, the more I want it.

Who knows, depending on Nintendo, this might even mean we can, just for once, have good online services on a Nintendo console.
