  • Trblmaka Trbl🚩 (@Trblmaka) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri @_XboxNews Hopefully they fix overwatch because that game has gone down hill

  • Orangeblood503 B-Rizzle (@Orangeblood503) reported

    @MikeSzoke @RobotRepublic_ those PS microtransactions from CoD will be a whole lot to give up. I suspect CoD & Overwatch 2 remain multiplat and something like Diablo IV could go exclusive, at the very least day one gamepass has to be a part of all of this. also add all those crash & spyro games to gamepass

  • sytbris Sytbris (@sytbris) reported

    @AlexTremo_uwu I just hope they fix overwatch

  • lyro_daniel RIP Sony’s Japan Studio #SaveRedDeadOnline (@lyro_daniel) reported

    WTF is Microsoft is doing? They got Bethesda? And now? Activision Blizzard? Crash and Spyro would be missed. 😞 but at least I don’t care about the Overwatch, CoD, StarCraft and Warcraft in my gaming life. 😑

  • __laurenwcole 🌻Lauren Cole 🍑 (@__laurenwcole) reported

    @saylerjesse Loving that they picked Crash Bandicoot as the other major brand to name-drop. World of Warcraft? Overwatch? Who are they??

  • EnglishDanYT Dan Gage (@EnglishDanYT) reported

    @simplytechtured So... Call of Duty would be on Gamespass day one or $70 on PS5 in November 2023... Crash, Spyro, Wow, Overwatch, Diablo... All on Gamepass Day one and $70 on the PS5... Then the chance these games become Console and PC exclusive via Game Pass.

  • Thecalzone_ Danny (@Thecalzone_) reported

    @VocalPineapples @PS360HD2 At least it’s not like the Bethesda deal where 99% of games will be exclusive. It’ll only be certain games, so cod and overwatch will not be console locked. And Spyro and crash were both made under PlayStation don’t get ur hopes up ab them being on gamepass.

  • missplayer30 Missplayer30 (COMMISSION'S OPEN) (@missplayer30) reported

    @Saberspark So, are we gonna get Crash or an Overwatch character as our next Microsoft rep in a possible new Smash instalment?

  • bellaswanfan666 girly teengirl from farawayville (@bellaswanfan666) reported

    @Josh92173783 @thegameawards Xbox lets their studios have autonomy. The reason they buy them is to have money flowing similar to Tencent. I guarantee they bought ActiBlizz to clean house and fix up their wasted moneymakers like WoW and Overwatch

  • ThisIsAnOddName Chris Diggins (@ThisIsAnOddName) reported

    @Intentionallyz To be fair, “Blizzard writes the characters” is one of the biggest problems with Overwatch

  • nerdy_retro N3rdyR3tr0 🎮 ENVtuber (@nerdy_retro) reported

    @DoovadHohdan 2/2) you think now they'll actually fix overwatch to be playable? 🤔 I'd ask Riot but we all know league is never gonna be playable lol

  • UlrichPro1 Ulrich L.K. (@UlrichPro1) reported

    @MrHiP3R @FederalStrength @garywhitta I do not think so! Most of Activision games are on Windows PC, so we are "only" speaking about COD and Overwatch (+ Spyro and Crash) on consoles. This is big new do not get me wrong, but not as schocking as a SONY/Nintendo acquisition IMO, only due to cheer number of franchises

  • CursedNen CursedNen (@CursedNen) reported

    @RubenTr68117257 @OverwatchNaeri @_XboxNews Yeah cosmetics I have no issue with being exclusive. I’ll just be disappointed if I bought Overwatch just for them not to implement Overwatch 2 stuff into the first game and make it completely Exclusive to Xbox and PC.

  • longklaw Will Johnson (@longklaw) reported

    Dear Microsoft, Please fix everything I don't like about Overwatch. And what are you going to do with Overwatch League? Sincerely, A Fan

  • Donnavan__ Donnavan Souza (@Donnavan__) reported

    @Nibellion Probably Crash and platform games will be exclusive, such as new ip's but I believe CoD will be on PS. I really think that they are gonna rebuild the Overwatch team, and make it exclusive or Free to Plat but put it on GamePass? I see that coming.

  • LuisBerber8 Luis Berber (@LuisBerber8) reported

    @Nibellion I can see Spyro and crash being exclusive while cod and overwatch being multiplat. Tbh I don't care cause I'll be getting them in gamepass lol

  • porkramenbowl Ramen (@porkramenbowl) reported

    @pushsquare Yup. Hopefully I won’t have to pull out the PC or buy an Xbox to get my Overwatch fix though.

  • Apollo24zZ Covid Vaccine Acquired 💉 (@Apollo24zZ) reported

    @Tiggeruppercut As someone who owns a PS5 I can safely say this or the Bethesda acquisition doesn't affect me 😌 my love for CoD is dying same as it did with Overwatch but I know a few ppl that are upset regarding to Crash Bandicoot being exclusive tho

  • LilIrishRockMan Dominic 💗 (Thighs Hehe 📌) (@LilIrishRockMan) reported

    With Microsoft's $68mn purchase of Activision Blizzard they now have the IP Rights for: COD Overwatch Crash Spyro Skylanders Candy Crush + all other King games And more that I probably can't think of rn What ******** 😐

  • trans_punk_girl punk girl 🤘🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤘 (@trans_punk_girl) reported

    Xbox now owns Crash bandicoot, Overwatch, Tony Hawk, and COD. Playstation might not have the better exclusives anymore

  • FReeDuMBorDEATH FRee (@FReeDuMBorDEATH) reported

    @xbox please fix what's going on with #cod and #Overwatch

  • MatLewi5 M (@MatLewi5) reported

    @BhargavMewada99 @geoffkeighley Ah yes those mediocre games ip 🙄 Doom Elder Scrolls Fallout Diablo Tony hawk Wolfenstein Evil within Deathloop Warcraft Call of duty Dishonoured Tenchu StarCraft Evil within Prey Overwatch Singularity Crash bandicoot Spyro 🤭 A small selection of mediocre games for you there

  • BarnesFlam Barnes (@BarnesFlam) reported

    Overwatch, World of Warcraft and Crash 4 on Steam would a bit poggers, ngl

  • GameSetMatchSly Josh (@GameSetMatchSly) reported

    @XcloudTimdog COD/Overwatch is Minecraft tier, I can’t see them taking that away. Everything else like Diablo, Crash etc. I can see them locking that down.

  • Master__Paradox ☢PARADOX☢ (@Master__Paradox) reported

    @PrestigeIsKey I think it will. Crash and Spyro won't be but COD and Overwatch will be. They could make up the from the losses easy with Warzone and Game Pass.

  • nintendhoedom harry styles bussy ***** (@nintendhoedom) reported

    @EnigmaticWolff @KharloKong Agreed this is so big Diablo, Wow, Crash Bandicoot, overwatch, Spyro, Call of Duty.

  • HeAvYMeTaLGR Manos (@HeAvYMeTaLGR) reported

    @JezCorden Maybe part of the deal were indeed the sleeping IPs that Phil said they were after for younger audience? Crash and Spyro would instantly fill that part for them. I just hope they do way more with the studios than just WoW, Diablo and Overwatch. I'm tired of more of the same.

  • LadyVinnie911 LadyVinnie (@LadyVinnie911) reported

    @ItsVospha I 100% agree. With the issues both Blizzard and Activision have had recently I think a change could push things forward. Clean updates and getting games released! Been waiting on overwatch 2 forever. And I’m sad Warzone has been so broken!

  • rodgie05 anthony (@rodgie05) reported

    @kidsmoove Cod, Tony hawk, spyro, crash, wow, Overwatch Elder Scrolls, Doom, Quake, Pret, Evil Within, Wolfenstein Halo, Gears, Forza, psychonauts, Yea Persona is better than most of those, but Sony is lacking.

  • ant_man619 T1 (@ant_man619) reported

    I hope with Xbox buying Activision Blizzard, it means Xbox can use the different teams within Activision Blizzard to work on other titles that isn’t just Call of Duty. Maybe more Crash, Spyro and Tony Hawk games? Maybe dig Overwatch 1&2 out of the gutter? Really hype!
