Is PlayStation Blocking Games From Xbox? | Defining Duke, Episode 118

Live A Live, Octopath Traveler 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Final Fantasy 14, Final Fantasy 16, Babylon's Fall (lol), Forspoken, Theaterhythm: Final Bar Line, and many, many more games out of Square Enix have skipped Xbox. Some to people's dismay while others leave us thankful it never graced our piece of plastic in the first place. The fact remains: There's an astonishing amount of titles skipping the platform and Xbox fans want to know why. The Dukes tackle this topic following the announcement of Live A Live arriving everywhere except Xbox. So, what gives? Is Square at fault, has PlayStation paid them off to bar games from release, or is it the harsh reality nobody seems to wish to admit which is Xbox has blame in this too? We dive in. Plus New Vegas 2 pops up in a rather hilarious manner, Game Pass Family & Friends looks like a steal, a Starfield controller leaks, the handheld wave continues on with the "Q Lite," Quantum Break leaving Game Pass, and plenty more!

Awesome thumbnail 😂😂

Brian Hunter

This is one of the most cursed thumbnails I've ever seen, but I'm here for it.

Michael

Can we not download this episode?

Walker Simmons

Sifu is one of the best action games ever made. Platinuming it and beating the game under age 25 was one of the hardest and most satisfying trophies I've ever gotten

Hey, just figured I'd point out for Patreon search purposes. The tag on this is incorrectly labeled "Defining Duke", instead of "Defining Duke (Video)".

I have Sifu downloaded and installed but haven't played it yet. My friend who beat it on PS5 a year ago raves about it so im looking forward to playing it. As for Square Enix, excluding Final Fantasy and Forspoken, I believe the reason their games skip Xbox is due to Square Enix being Square Enix. It's just how they are. I do agree though that they probably do want that day one Game Pass deal in order to port game(s) over to Xbox. The debate of who would Matty and Cognito prefer between Capcom, Sega and Square Enix was good. Personally, I want Capcom and see them as the best fit game wise, business wise, etc. Sega would be second and Square Enix would be third for me.

Thank you taking my question and sharing your ideas with regards to SE, their choosing of where to release games and Xbox. I had to ask you guys after spending so much time in the cesspool that is twitter. I think, since I'm with Cog on going to BK to get a whopper. I don't really care about exclusives, whether they are 1st, 2nd, or 3rd party. I do agree with you guys that this is probably a money thing. That SE's reasons for why they release games on x platform and not y platform is a head scratcher. I think at most, one can assume their is a deal between the big FF games and Sony. Until explicit documentation regarding SE and Sony comes out regarding FF, most, if not all of this is unknown. It would be nice if, especially on twitter speculation came after facts. I think I will listen to you guys more often than going on twitter. I'll probably save myself many brain cells!
