Xbox strategy follows Netflix
The Gears of WarCreator Cliff Bleszinsky sees some similarities between Microsoft's new strategy and Netflix, which has followed the same path. GameRant He said that the chances of it finally happening have never been greater:
“I think that’s what Phil Spencer is aiming for. He’s going with the Netflix model. It started with Xbox Game Pass, and then they, like Netflix, realized they needed to be available on every device. People have been joking about Gears of War coming to PlayStation for over a decade, and I think, ‘The more the merrier.’ If people own a PS5 and can play and experience the next-gen Gears games, that means more Gears of War tattoos.”
Halo is "almost certainly" coming to PS5
The situation is similar with Halo It appears that former Xbox boss Peter Moore no longer completely rules out a PS5 release and already sees the shooter on PS5. Following the recent discussions about Microsoft's strategy, he fully expects that major AAA games like... Halo will follow.
