乐！微软计划将《星空》登录PS5平台

根据XboxEra上的消息爆料，微软准备让《星空》登录PS5平台

以下为爆料原文和翻译

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.

近几周以来，有关微软计划在竞争平台上发布一系列第一方游戏的传闻一直存在，特别是《Hi-Fi Rush》和《Sea of Thieves》。根据匿名的消息来源（他们未获得授权谈论微软的公司计划）称，发布竞争平台的游戏名单中还包括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》于2023年8月发布，获得了相当积极的反响（尽管现在网上仍然对这款游戏存在许多争议），但它依旧是迄今为止最大型的Bethesda游戏发布，首周内就突破了600万玩家数。

现在看来，微软正计划将Bethesda最新的RPG宇宙带到一个全新的平台——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.

从消息来源处我们了解到，目前微软计划在Xbox和PC发布已宣布的“Shattered Space”扩展之后，在今年晚些时候将《Starfield》登陆PlayStation 5。我们还被告知，微软已经对PlayStation 5的开发工具进行了额外投资，以支持正在进行的开发努力——这一消息进一步印证了“《Starfield》登陆PlayStation 5”的传言。

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.

正如已经存在的传言所暗示的那样，将第一方游戏带到竞争游戏机平台标志着微软战略上的重大改变，据我了解，微软内部并非没有在这一新方向上进行激烈的争论，“将《Starfield》发布在PlayStation 5”的做法，与Xbox总裁Sarah Bond在“2021年Xbox和Bethesda游戏工作室夏季展会“上有关独占的原话相矛盾。

“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)

“非常荣幸与大家首次分享世界上最受期待的游戏之一，来自Bethesda游戏工作室的Todd Howard和团队所制作的——一款开创性的游戏，是的——它是独占的。” 

——Xbox总裁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.

微软高层已就“在竞争平台发布更多独占游戏“的各种利弊进行了讨论，微软内部并非每个人都对这一决定感到满意。但“通过在竞争平台发布第一方游戏，来回收“应得未得”的潜在收益”这一做法可以说已经在讨论中胜出。据消息称，《Hi-Fi Rush》在竞争平台上的发布计划初步定于今年第一季度，我们得到的建议是：可以期待微软在本月对这一新战略进行更为公开的宣布。
