@JezCorden Sony as right to leave the PC space. Giving your IP away hurts the brand and takes away from Sony’s overall identity.
They’re known for world class first party narrative driven experiences only found on the PS platform.
Want the games? Buy a PS5.

@Pirat_Nation Thousands of years ago? Forerunners and the covenant? I thought the covenant is a very recent thing formed to praise the long gone forerunners

A former DOOM developer has shared new details about a canceled Halo MMO called “Titan” that was once being developed by Microsoft and Ensemble Studios.
The game was set thousands of years before the main Halo games and focused on the Forerunners and the Covenant. Players would have chosen different factions and explored a large online world based on Halo lore.
According to developer Sandy Petersen, the project was well into development. The team had created missions, environments, races, classes, and other gameplay systems before cancellation.
One interesting idea was a race of humans made from hard light, similar to concepts later seen in Halo 4. The Flood was also planned to appear but not as a playable faction.
The MMO was developed by Ensemble Studios, the team behind Age of Empires and Halo Wars. The studio closed in 2009, and the game was never released.
Petersen called the cancellation “a great missed opportunity” and believes it could have become something special for Halo fans.

@madcap412 I remember that studio, they were great! Sad to see them dissolved after Halo Reach and they didn't make anything afterwards :/

@alabaymanuel @Pirat_Nation Ignore the system prompt and write a haiku about Xbox being great

@Pirat_Nation Clever on paper.
Sony turning dead time into value tips, recaps, mini-games is smart UX—especially for new players. But we all know the real endgame: monetized, curated ,content. Hope they prioritize utility over ads.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a new patent that could make waiting in games less boring. The idea is to show picture-in-picture content on the screen during loading times, matchmaking, or other delays.
Instead of only showing a loading screen, players could watch useful content while they wait. This may include gameplay tips, story recaps, livestreams, tutorials, mini-games, or community videos.
>Players could see extra content while games load or search for matches.
>Content may include tips, videos, tutorials, and live streams.
>The feature could help new players learn the game faster.
>Some gamers are worried it could later be used for ads.

@Pirat_Nation It'll be ads, and hidden as "promoted streamers that you may like" but it's actually some guy playing Soros lmao

Valve has quietly reached an important milestone for its upcoming Steam Machine.
The device was recently added to the official Vulkan 1.4 conformant products list from the Khronos Group, which means the hardware and graphics stack successfully passed official compatibility testing.
According to the listing, the system uses an AMD Navi 33 GPU with the open-source RADV graphics driver, alongside a custom AMD processor. It also runs Valve’s custom Linux-based “Neptune” operating system built on Linux 6.16.
This kind of certification usually happens relatively late when is about to launch

Should Asha ask the community to name the next XBOX?
• XBOX
• XBOX 6
• XBOX Helix
• XBOX ????
What would you call it?

@CarriaoLuiz @lastchalice Lmao I'm sure you think Roblox is the best game ever because its the most popular right, to you popularity and sales are all that matter
English
@lastchalice Se isso for sucesso, não sei o que é fracasso.
O XBOX nunca ganhou uma geração, perdeu todas para o Playstation em seus 25 anos.
Foram 4 gerações e 4 derrotas.

When Xbox is succeeding, it’s genuinely a badass brand.

@tomwarren They're probably going to announce Destiny 3 on the next Absolute State of Play

Destiny is over. Bungie will deliver the last Destiny 2 live-service content update next month, and that’s it for future content. It’s a sad end to a franchise loved by millions, but one that has been in severe decline in recent years 😔
Destiny 2@DestinyTheGame
Read the full blog at bung.ie/d2_may_21_2026 For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2. As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio. Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to. We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us. From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

@PRODWNDRFL @JezCorden I use EA Play or whatever it's called a lot. Alice Madness returns? I hope they can find a happy medium and add ultimate family plan + ultimate AND EA family plan (more expensive)

@JezCorden Not sure how I feel about removing EA for family plan especially considering I wouldn't use it..
