Congrats to Microsoft for pulling a "big brain move" lol
I suppose Stellar Blade was number one. This also shows us that Microsoft was correct in releasing its software on the PS5. This assures us that more titles will be on the way. Do Killer Instinct!
You havent played KI yet?
Look at what Microsoft did to Rare..
Ironic the fanbase that trash the game are now buying it lol. SoT is a great game, loved my time from release to now. Rare is back in form. Looking forward to what's next.
This news is funny because SOT requires an MS account on PS to play. Good for Rare though anyway
Are MS accounts more widely available compared to PS?
