Indiana Jones is the dealbreaker? The debate about PlayStation or Xbox has been long-running, and no true winner has emerged either. After all, it’s all about preference and what kind of games one loves to play. However, it can’t be denied that, in the eyes of many, PS has an edge thanks to games like The Last of Us, God of War, and more.
However, Xbox has its own healthy catalog as well, with IPs like Forza and Halo. Now, another name has been added to the list- Indiana Jones. But fans aren’t reacting well to this news. PlayStation fans are trolling Xbox, and the same is also happening vice versa too.
New Lucasfilm Indiana Jones Game Coming Exclusively To Xbox
Bethesda’s head of global publishing, Pete Hines, has confirmed that Bethesda’s upcoming Indiana Jones game will be Xbox and PC exclusive. Also, the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass on the first day. He confirmed this during the ongoing FTC v. Microsoft case. Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones 5 will release soon, and as such, this is a welcome update for the game that was originally announced to be in development in 2021.
Till now, no teaser video or further details about the game has been announced yet. There’s also no word on when the game will be shipped. In fact, there was no announcement regarding what platform it would be available on till recently. So many are asking why is it being made Xbox exclusive quite suddenly. Hines explained it’s because of risk removal.
He said:
“The primary one in my view is what I said about reducing risk and trying to get to a degree of certainty. You’re dealing with a licensor who’s going to have a ton of feedback on what you’re making, add a lot of time to your schedule.”
The console wars have always been a thing, and while it seemed like Xbox was behind PS, Indiana Jones, and the upcoming Starfield game may help it catch up. But that’s speculation. Right now, the wars have been triggered again, and fans of both sides are slinging mud at each other.
Xbox And PlayStation Fans Bully Each Other Over Indiana Jones Xbox Exclusivity
PlayStation has, in some ways, pulled ahead of Xbox in the console wars. But the announcement of the Xbox-exclusive Indiana Jones game has breathed fresh life into Xbox fans. As such, they are trolling PS lovers who are saying that Microsoft doesn’t own the Indiana Jones IP outright, unlike PS, which has several big ones to its name. To this, many have hit back at them by saying that Spider-Man isn’t their IP as well.
Here’s what the Xbox fans are saying:
PlayStation fans aren’t keeping mum either and are alleging that the Indiana Jones game will be similar to the widely popular and beloved Uncharted series. So it probably won’t be worth it for anyone to play it. The mudslinging will continue, but it will be interesting to see what the Indy game turns out to be.
