  • Ubisoft is thrilled to announce a fresh chapter in the Rayman franchise, partnering with original creator Michael Ancel to bring fans a brand-new online adventure.

    Dive into a sprawling, vibrant open world that unfolds gradually, with dozens of AI generated side quests and expansive regions to explore — all while managing your resources carefully to unlock even the most basic of abilities. Designed for maximum immersion, players can look forward to leveling up their character through a robust upgrade system that rewards those willing to fully commit to the game’s repeating optional challenges.

    True to Ubisoft’s innovative vision, Rayman’s return offers more than just a classic multiplayer platforming experience; players will enjoy a wealth of cosmetic customization options that add a personal touch to every quest. Those looking to enhance their journey even further will have access to the comprehensive UbiShop+, with a variety of items that let players bypass some of the game’s more time-intensive objectives. With the return of Ancel himself, fans are sure to get a rich story delivered through seasonal updates, ensuring they’ll be coming back for more — long after they’ve seen the main plot to its end.

    I of course make grammar mistakes and typos when messaging/commenting from my phone, but I can’t imagine creating and posting something with a mistake like this.

    10-15 years ago this would have been something to ridicule and downvote, and now most people don’t even seem to care anymore.










    1. Even if they sell at a loss, the number of consoles mean the potential number of buyers for games. More consoles sold means they can sell more games and other profit generating products/services.
    2. Sony is barely selling any PS5 Pros as there is a low interest at this high price, which is unlikely to change in the future. The current console is not even fully utilized, lot of recent games are still PS4 cross-gen. 0 chance of the base PS5 being left behind
    3. MS will not make COD an exclusive, as they will not give up on the chance to sell a 70 USD/EUR game to 60 million PS5 users, which is double the size of their own market

  • Sony has sold double the consoles this generation (60 vs 30 million I think). And the Series S is very unpopular with devs, increasing the complexity of developing games for Xbox to get just half the PS market.

    Game Pass is popular, but it’s just one stream of revenue, and a lot people are only using it on PC. Sony is selling consoles, 70 EUR games, and in addition their own subscriptions.

    I understand MS’s strategy, and maybe this was the best they could have done for this gen, but Sony and Nintendo is dominating console gaming, with MS lagging far behind.
