“I Mean That’s Like Giving Xbox PlayStation Plus?”: Fans React Hilariously on Microsoft Strategizing the Workability of Xbox Cloud Gaming on PS5 and How Sony Would Respond

Xbox Cloud Gaming is Microsoft’s answer to streaming games. Cloud gaming is emerging fast with other competitors like Google Stadia and the PlayStation Plus. While each streaming service has its pros, cons and exclusive titles, a recently surfaced conversation between Microsoft executives speaks about breaking those boundaries.

Gamers and critics alike have always toyed with the possibility of one universal device. Although that seems impossible looking at the way things are, the discussion between the Microsoft executives speaks of ways the universal device can be made possible.

Microsoft discusses Xbox gameplay on the PlayStation 5

In the recent discussion, an executive named Tim Stuart asked if Xbox Cloud Gaming subscribers could stream games on a PS5 through a web browser. To which Kareem Choudhry stated that if Sony’s browser supports the requirements, it might be possible. However, he was uncertain about Sony’s stance and mentions technical issues faced by someone attempting this. He also raised the question of whether Sony would actively block such access.

The discussion continued with another person pointing out that the web browser on the PS5 is not readily available. It’s only accessible through links in messages, and even then, it’s limited in its functionality. This challenges the feasibility of the “browser on PS5” approach. Another executive speculated that Sony might resist this idea to protect their console market. The conclusion was that they should have engineers working on this to get a definite answer.

Users came together to agree that the discussion was one with less logic and more of Microsoft exploring uncommon dimensions.

One comment stated how the idea of giving Xbox Game Pass access to the PlayStation would not make any sense.

Another user mentioned that it would be a bad idea for Sony to block this, as the ability to play Xbox Games on a PlayStation would only provide more reasons for players to buy the PS5.

In response to the comment above, another user explained how this would affect their PS+ services.

While not all comments were about the cloud gaming possibilities, one user hilariously commented on the PS5’s browser issue.

The jokes about PlayStation’s web browser continued.

While most of the comments were all fun and games, it is to be noted that Microsoft’s curiosity is commendable. It is with the help of such curiosity that Microsoft innovates and creates products while pushing boundaries for what is possible. Whether Xbox cloud gaming on the PlayStation 5 becomes a reality in the future is yet to be seen. That being said, is there really a need to do that?
