Čtyři konzolové exkluzivity Xboxu mají v dohledné době rozšířit řady her na PlayStationu 5. Microsoft má dokonce přinést i nadcházející akční adventuru Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, kterou na konec letošního roku pro PC a Xbox Series X/S připravují ve studiu MachineGames.
Příchod čtyř her avizuje známý španělský insider eXtas1stv. V poslední době se spekulovalo nejen o Indiana Jones, ale také o skvělých arkádových open-world závodech Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 a bojovce Killer Instinct.
Vzhledem k tomu, že Indiana Jones and the Great Circle a Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 budou mít teprve premiéru na PC a Xboxu Series X/S, tak bych jejich příchod očekával až někdy v roce 2025. Naopak do konce letošního roku by americká společnost mohla na konzoli Sony přinést Forzu Horizon 5 a Killer Instinct.
Pokud vám tohle přijde přitažené za vlasy, tak i novinář Jez Corden z Windows Central tvrdí, že je velká šance vydání Indiana Jonese na PS5. Možná je tahle verze ovlivněna společností Disney, která může tlačit na vydání na co největším množství platforem.
K oznámení některých her pro PlayStation 5 může dojít už zítra na Gamescomu v Kolíně nad Rýnem. Dříve se říkalo, že PlayStation verze Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush a Pentiment bere Microsoft jako test, zda o jeho hry na konkurenčních konzolích bude zájem. Zájem je zejména o Sea of Thieves. Pirátská akce se stala nejstahovanější květnovou hrou z PS Store.
Tak uvidíme. Corden nezaslechl nic o tom, že by na Gamescomu měla být oznámena PS5 verze Forzy Horizon 5. Tak že by došlo na Killer Instinct?
Díky testům Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown se můžeme podívat na srovnání těchto masivně multiplayerových závodů s konkurencí. Jak si hra vede proti Forze Horizon 5 a The Crew Motorfest?
Obě videa se zaměřují na detaily, jako je grafika, fyzika a zvuky. V prvních dvou případech beta Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown za konkurencí zaostává. V chystané novince můžeme zapomenout také na poškození. Viditelné jsou akorát prasklá skla, zatímco ve Forze Horizon 5 a The Crew Motorfest vidíme větší promáčkliny a odřeniny karosérie.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown je lepší ve zvucích aut. Působí realističtějším dojmem. Tady je ale nutné připomenout, že ve hře jich bude mnohem méně než u konkurence. To hraje podstatnou roli. Kromě zvuků si autoři zaslouží pochvalu za zpracování interiérů, kdy vidíme jednotlivé kontrolky a ruka řidiče zatáhne ruční brzdu, zatímco ve Forze Horizon 5 a The Crew Motorfest se nic neděje.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown vyjde 12. září/septembra na PC, PlayStation 5 a Xbox Series X/S. 27. srpna/augusta proběhne druhá beta na konzolích, určena je pro předobjednávky jakékoliv edice hry.
Taking a look at the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges found in Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox and PC for Series 36 Winter.

Britské studio Playground Games tvořící pod Microsoftem restart Fable a závodní sérii Forza Horizon se znovu rozrůstá. Už v únoru byl sestaven tým věnující se Fable, zatímco v centrále mají nadále na starost Forzu Horizon. Teď se k jim přidalo třetí studio. To se také nachází ve městě Leamington Spa v Anglii a soustředí se na podporu vývoje Fable.
Na návratu akčního RPG titulu Fable se podílí rovněž Eidos Montreal, tvůrci série Deus Ex. To vše svědčí o tom, že Microsoft věří Fable a má se značkou velké plány.
Hru jsme viděli v červnu na prezentaci Xboxu, kde se ukázala sestřihem gameplay záběrů. Vyjít má v roce 2025 pro PC a Xbox Series X/S. Bude součástí předplatného Game Pass.
Co se týče nové Forzy Horizon, ta oznámena zatím nebyla. Je ale více než jisté, že kromě aktualizací a nového obsahu pro Forzu Horizon 5 vzniká v centrále Playground Games nový díl. Firma zaměstnává více než 450 lidí.
NEW: Playground Games now has three game studios (previously two) and continues to grow.

To celebrate women’s contributions to gaming, we’re focusing on the main character energy that women bring every single day to the Gaming industry. Whether it be the women who develop games, test games, or market games, we’re bringing our all to the franchises that you all know and love to play. As the Senior Director of Gaming for Everyone & Sustainability at Xbox, I’ve worked with the entire Gaming organization to ensure we’re approaching decisions with an inclusion mindset, because, as our Gaming for Everyone Core Principle states: “When we don’t intentionally include, we unintentionally exclude.” You can see the results of this across all of Xbox, and this is how we deliver on our mission to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone on the planet.
An approach I take in life is, “Live your life by design – not by default.” From a gaming perspective, we apply this with an “inclusion by design” framework to ensure women feel truly represented and experience a deep sense of belonging, across all aspects of gaming. Whether it’s about intentional, thoughtful character design where women see themselves as the main character, how people play either on console, PC, or handheld–the experiences for women gamers vary just as dramatically as any other community.
What excites me the most is seeing more women actively participating in gaming, either as a developer or a fan–or both! While we recognize International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, the work to ensure women feel represented, seen, and belong on Xbox happens every single day. It’s a journey and we’re always learning how to get better, but we’re committed and in it for the long haul. I believe that willingness to commit to every step in the journey, and get stronger with each step is main character energy.
Join me in celebrating women who have inspired you in the gaming industry by posting on LinkedIn and nominating an #XboxMainCharacter. It could be a woman who developed a game you love, a content creator whose channel you love, or simply someone who helped you feel a sense of belonging and invited you to play! We stand on the shoulders of those who have done this work before us—the many amazing people who included us–and it is our legacy to continue supporting and making gaming approachable and inclusive for the women behind us. Join Xbox in our celebration by reading about the exciting activations taking place throughout the year below:
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Xbox is proud to announce an ongoing partnership with Women in Games International (WIGI), a nonprofit organization with a mission to cultivate resources to advance economic equality and diversity in the global games industry.
WIGI was founded in 2005 and has been working to highlight, celebrate and connect women, femme-identifying, and nonbinary professionals in the games industry. Through their programs, newsletters, panels, workshops, and networking events, WIGI works to normalize diversity in the games industry by increasing representation and paving the way for the next generation of games industry professionals.
Xbox shares WIGI’s vision of a more inclusive and diverse games industry, where everyone can play, create, and enjoy games. Xbox is committed to finding more ways to elevate women in gaming and support their growth and development. As part of our partnership, Xbox and WIGI will collaborate on initiatives connecting WIGI’s audience with the talent and resources that Xbox is able to share. We’ll share more details on Xbox’s partnership with Women in Games International at a later date.
Together, WIGI and Xbox are working to uplift more of the main character energy happening among women in the games industry.
You can learn more about WIGI and their work at their website: https://www.getwigi.com/. You can also follow them on Twitter: @getwigi and Facebook: Women in Games International.

This year’s Women’s History Month-themed Xbox art, designed by Amika Cooper, is now in Forza Horizon 5 as a vinyl: an in-game decal that you can use to customize any car. Show off this unique design on your car using #ForzaWHM on social media for a chance to be featured! (Visit the in-game Creative menu > Vinyl Groups and search for the share code: 171 005 410 .)
For Women’s History Month, Xbox commissioned artist Amika Cooper, also known as blackpowerbarbie, to redesign the Xbox logo in celebration of women gamers and the way they define who gamers are by embracing main character energy. Amika used that inspiration to create an image of the Xbox sphere at the center of a lair, representing a safe place in gaming created by and celebrating the creativity of women. In her words, “The logo is presented as a gem because I think the energy women bring to gaming makes us ‘diamonds in the rough’. I wanted it to be vibrant, stimulating, and fun – a lot of my work is creating my own surreal and fantastic landscapes, so I wanted to impart that sense of whimsy here.”

We believe that every woman deserves recognition as a main character. For this Women’s History Month, we’ve connected with women from the Xbox Ambassadors community to put a spotlight on their experience as a woman in gaming. Read along on the Xbox Ambassadors Community Blog.
Taking our celebration to the next level, we’re featuring a series of Quests, all month long, for Xbox Ambassadors to complete and unlock rewards. The Women’s History Month Quests feature games made by women creators and/or feature women as the main character. Join the fun and become an Xbox Ambassador today!
Amika Cooper’s Women’s History Month Xbox Sphere is available today as a dynamic background on console – follow these steps to apply it:
You can choose between Games, Xbox, or Abstract dynamic backgrounds. Choose the background art that you want with the A button.
It’s also available as an Xbox wallpaper to personalize your devices!
