Microsoft reportedly did not want a PlayStation 5 version of Arkane Studios' upcoming vampire shooter Redfall following its acquisition of Bethesda., said Microsoft's stance on Redfall's development was"no PlayStation 5" after the takeover.

"We were acquired by Microsoft and it was a change with [a] capital C," Smith told the website during a recent press event ."They came in and they said 'No PlayStation 5, we're focusing on Xbox, PC and the Game Pass'."Smith described the resulting focus on Xbox and PC as a"good decision", noting the move helps support Game Pass and meant"one less platform to worry about, one less complexity.

While IGN France says Redfall on PlayStation 5 saw an"immediate cancellation" upon Microsoft'a acquisition, there's no indication of whether a version for Sony's platform was anything more than a suggestion at the time. I've reached out to Bethesda for comment on IGN's report, and to clarify how far along a PS5 version may have been.

F years when ps4 was the more powerful hardware Sony fans would boast about It and how they got so many great exclusives, now the xbox is more powerful and has the good exclusives and now Sony and its fan boys wanna act like babies, it's insane.

So this isn't available on Xbox are y'all also upset about that or only upset about stuff not available on Playstation?

well this here more or less confirms the reason why Sony have been up in arms over Xbox trying to acquire Activision / Blizzard_Ent for if they can do it to this series, whats to stop them from doing this same thing to CallofDuty ?

Tantos jogos foram tirados do Xbox e agora querem chorar? Eu dou é risada, a Sony começou e a Microsoft vai mostrar como se ganha uma guerra.

The ONLY people making a big deal out of this are the clowns running these gaming media sites hahahaha

Stellar Blade, wont come to Xbox (After been announced).. Because Sony pay for it lol... i mean... happens all the time, am i right?🤔 It even happened same with Gears of War 3 there was a ps3 port on the make🤣

This article would not have been written if it was the other way around. This is just such a non-story.

It's probably going to be a bullet dodged anyway

I'm shocked to my very core by this. Absolutely astounded. Next you'll be telling us water is wet.

But phill sais he doesn like to take away he Will never do that. Thats why they accuse sony from something they always do lol. Hypocrites

Are any Naughty Dog games on Xbox? What a dumb ass article.

Well well well…

Lyin' Phil strikes again!

Does anyone actually want this game anywhere?

Looking at how the game seems to be doing with critics, I don't think Sony are really bothered about having it on PS5 either.

Comments are as nuanced and intelligent as expected...

How is this news We knew all these games that were in development before they bought them were multi console and that would change....

Xbox bought them, they own the games and that’s the end of it. It’s a non issue for me.

Spoiler alert, all Arkane games would’ve been on PS systems if they weren’t acquired. Did people expect them to keep putting games on PS forever after MS bought them? FF7R would’ve also come to Xbox if Sony didn’t pay them. This stuff is all fair game.

Xbox owned game is exclusive to Xbox?! YOU DONT SAY!

Want to play Xbox games? Buy an Xbox.

Arkane was actually fine with it being exclusive to Xbox is seems. Looks fine to me.

Is there something wrong with expanding exclusive Xbox content with unannounced titles?

Phill 🤥🤥🤥🤥

This is baad timing for MS as they are trying to prove to the FTC right now they WONT pull activision titles from PS. The FTC and CMA will 100% use this as evidence MS cannot be trusted despite what MS says sadly. I think somebody could lose their job here for saying this.

Why is it wrong?

Wait hold up, XboxP3 completely and 100% lied about something And how could PS5 hold back the game? Its already being held back by the lowest common denominator, the garbage series s. This applies to all your games including the troubled Starfield when series s got introduced
