This will be the first generation where you don't need to buy the console to play the games. If you're happy with streaming that is. Weird.

Cool. I'll still always prefer discs, but I'm open to options. Last thing I need is not being able to play my single player game because my shit internet though.

It'll be interesting to see if people will buy a $400 console or whatever for The Last of Us 3 if they can just stream it. I wonder what impact that will have.

Especially if you've already got a PC or Xbox and have the capabilities to do that.

Xbox exclusives don't count if they're on PC

But it's okay when Sony does it in an inferior way.

There won't be anymore exclusives. Sony is also ready to end it as we can see with Playstation Now on PC. Can't wait for the app to be on Xbox as well.

In the sense you could potentially stream PS5 games to your PS4 then yeah sure.

The amount of delay from streaming a game is going to be insane. No person in their right mind would do it unless they don't care about having like 50ms+ of delay because they don't think it's that big of a deal.

I do wonder if Microsoft will go all out and just let people download Xbox games onto their PC using an Xbox launcher or something. If they combine stuff like that with streaming that's a big advantage.

If you have to buy digital download and streaming copies separately these services are a waste though.

I'm open to streaming since I already stream games to different TV's or a laptop in my house.

If it can get around that level I'm fine with it. I'd love to play games elsewhere without needing a console if it's possible.

But this would all rely on streaming games I already would otherwise own and can play locally.

I've got several XBone games on PC and have never owned one. Is it just certain ones they let you download?

Right now it has to be a 'Play Anywhere' title. All Microsoft first party games since around 2017ish are Play Anywhere.

There's the odd third party game that also supports it but it isn't too common.

Here's the list
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere

Any ones you own on PC can be downloaded on Xbox as well. Just as long as the Store Page says 'Play Anywhere and supports it.
