Will Microsoft Purchase WB Games? - Episode 54

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, and PC gaming. Smart Delivery has been a tent-pole of Microsoft’s marketing plan surrounding the Xbox Series X, promising simplicity and a gamers-first mentality when transitioning your gaming experience with cross generational titles, and it looks as though Microsoft is pushing to have the initiative wide spread. So this week, we examine how Microsoft plans to achieve universal application for Smart Delivery with both first and third parties titles, and if this could potentially be the first major wedge in truly making the console experience more PC-like. Also, sources say that Microsoft has now entered conversations with AT&T regarding the sale of WB Games, including studios like Rocksteady, NetherRealm, and Monolith, but what makes Xbox right home for these studios compared to other publishers like EA, Take Two, and Activision, who are said to be interested as well? Plus, over 30 minutes of gameplay of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has leaked ahead of Ubisoft’s digital event next week, but is that all that Ubisoft has up their sleeve? We give our predictions for Ubisoft Forward and what you could potentially expect to see at the event this Sunday. All of this, and much more, on the newest episode of the Game Pass Gamecast!
