根據XboxEra上的消息爆料，微軟準備讓《星空》登錄PS5平臺
以下為爆料原文和翻譯
For many weeks now, rumours have persisted regarding Microsoft’s intentions to release a number of 1st party games – namely Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves – on rival platforms. According to our sources, who have asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorised to talk about company plans, that list of games also includes Bethesda Game Studio’s Starfield.
近幾周以來，有關微軟計劃在競爭平臺上發佈一系列第一方遊戲的傳聞一直存在，特別是《Hi-Fi Rush》和《Sea of Thieves》。根據匿名的消息來源（他們未獲得授權談論微軟的公司計劃）稱，發佈競爭平臺的遊戲名單中還包括Bethesda工作室的《Starfield》。
Starfield released back in August of 2023 to fairly positive reception (despite the narrative that now exists online), and was the biggest Bethesda game launch of all time, surpassing 6 million players within a week of release.
Now it looks as though Microsoft are planning on bringing Betheda’s newest RPG universe to an entirely new platform – PlayStation 5.
《Starfield》於2023年8月發佈，獲得了相當積極的反響（儘管現在網上仍然對這款遊戲存在許多爭議），但它依舊是迄今為止最大型的Bethesda遊戲發佈，首周內就突破了600萬玩家數。
現在看來，微軟正計劃將Bethesda最新的RPG宇宙帶到一個全新的平臺——PlayStation 5。
According to sources, we understand that currently Microsoft are planning a launch for Starfield on PlayStation 5 post the release of the already announced “Shattered Space” expansion for Xbox and PC, which is on target to arrive at some point later this year. We’ve also been informed that Microsoft have made additional investment into PlayStation 5 dev kits to support ongoing development efforts – adding further fuel to the fire.
從消息來源處我們瞭解到，目前微軟計劃在Xbox和PC發佈已宣佈的“Shattered Space”擴展之後，在今年晚些時候將《Starfield》登陸PlayStation 5。我們還被告知，微軟已經對PlayStation 5的開發工具進行了額外投資，以支持正在進行的開發努力——這一消息進一步印證了“《Starfield》登陸PlayStation 5”的傳言。
As the already existing rumours have suggested, the idea of bringing 1st party titles to competing console platforms marks a massive change in strategy for Microsoft and from what I understand, it’s not been without fierce internal debate on this new direction. Releasing Starfield on PlayStation 5 contradicts the original statement around exclusivity made by President of Xbox Sarah Bond, during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Studios summer showcase of 2021.
正如已經存在的傳言所暗示的那樣，將第一方遊戲帶到競爭遊戲機平臺標誌著微軟戰略上的重大改變，據我瞭解，微軟內部並非沒有在這一新方向上進行激烈的爭論，“將《Starfield》發佈在PlayStation 5”的做法，與Xbox總裁Sarah Bond在“2021年Xbox和Bethesda遊戲工作室夏季展會“上有關獨佔的原話相矛盾。
“It is awesome to share with you for the very first time one of the most anticipated games in the world, from Todd Howard and the team at Bethesda Game Studios – a ground breaking game, and yes – it’s exclusive.”——Sarah Bond, President of Xbox @ Microsoft (Xbox and Bethesda Game Studios 2021 Showcase)
“非常榮幸與大家首次分享世界上最受期待的遊戲之一，來自Bethesda遊戲工作室的Todd Howard和團隊所製作的——一款開創性的遊戲，是的——它是獨佔的。”
——Xbox總裁Sarah Bond
According to our sources, Microsoft senior leadership have reportedly debated the various pros and cons of releasing more of their exclusive software elsewhere, and internally, not everyone is necessarily happy with the decision, but recouping the potential money “left on the table” by releasing elsewhere has arguably won out.According to sources, Hi-Fi Rush’s release on rival platforms is tentatively planned for Q1 this year, and we’ve been advised to expect Microsoft to make a more public announcement on this new strategy this month.
微軟高層已就“在競爭平臺發佈更多獨佔遊戲“的各種利弊進行了討論，微軟內部並非每個人都對這一決定感到滿意。但“通過在競爭平臺發佈第一方遊戲，來回收“應得未得”的潛在收益”這一做法可以說已經在討論中勝出。據消息稱，《Hi-Fi Rush》在競爭平臺上的發佈計劃初步定於今年第一季度，我們得到的建議是：可以期待微軟在本月對這一新戰略進行更為公開的宣佈。
