In an enhanced version
An unofficial Hellblade 2 PlayStation port is now playable on hacked consoles, letting you experience the game in a new gameplay format
It’s just a matter of time till…….🤷🏿
We all know how much Microsoft like money no matter what they know their base won’t “pay” for games on day one 🤣
Are you saying that Sony doesn’t like money? MS is a business and a pretty successful one at that so of course they like money. As far as their “base won’t pay” I guess the hundreds of Xbox games I have just magically appeared in my library…
Did he say that Sony does not like money? Does Sony and MS have to be opposite all the time? You xboys are worse than maga cultists. No possible way of getting anything through to you. Completely in your own bubble.
Xbox is a complete and utter failure that's being subsidized by MS if we're being 💯.only a 2 trillion dollar company can be this bad at something and survive.
@Mmmkay
That’s what I’m saying.
You can’t criticize one company with out the fanboys coming out with the comparison.
“Well well Sony does this”
Cool we are talking about MS.
MS is successful but Xbox is not.
On the other hand playstation is very successful and Sony is not.
And what games do ponies buy? I'm sure Square Enix and Sony would have something to say about that 🤣
Has nothing to do with liking money. Everyone likes money. This is just the corner they've backed themselves into. Keeping games only on Xbox would equal low to no sales, certainly not enough to recoup development costs. And games are where all the profits come from, for every platform holder.
Sony beggars are a sight to behold.... They've got no games so backdooring Xbox games is prime!
You saying that Xboxers won't pay for games on an article about hacked Playstation systems playing pirated games is kinda ironic.

🤣 finally someone gets it 🤣
The game wasn't good anyway. It's a walking simulator. I was disappointed
I agree and I wasn't a fan of Death Stranding. But I'm hearing Death Stranding 2 is this opposite. I'm hearing it's more like an open world Metal Gear and a better overall game now. Hellblade 2 was supposed to be better than the first game and that didn't happen
So it's a video with quicktime events, about as playable as the original then. I have finished it on Xbox.
Original was a lot better. I've been saying Senua should have died at the end of the first game even before Microsoft bought
the studio and green-lit a sequel. Her story was done. With how shallow the story was in part two, seems I was right.
I managed to get about 3 hours in before the novelty of the amazing graphics wore off and I couldn't put up with the boring and repetative gameplay any longer. Playing it on GamePass, so having not specifically 'paid' for that game in particular, made it very easy to delete and move on.
Same, played it on PC and even graphically it's not ALWAYS so impressive, it shines above the rest in brief moments but ive played other games that are just as, if not more impressive. Graphics aside everything is either the same or lacking compared to the 1st game, and it's honestly baffling the scope of this game given the development time and having MSs money behind them, and how much MS pushed this on their packaging and marketing. It's not a bad game per se, but it's not even as good as the first game honestly, it's ok 🤷♂️
Get the latest data on sales and engagement for Hellblade 2, including its performance on Xbox and Xbox Game Pass.
Omg this is saddest article I ever seen. The person writing this must have felt terrible
Lol, I don't think people got my joke. I meant engagement in the console wars was still high! 😂
Trying to act like these are good numbers or what Microsoft was hoping for is indeed pretty sad.
They say it has the 12'th highest engagement on xbox,in the US but it never even crossed into the top 20 on xbox's own ranking system.
And either way 12'th on a day one high profile release on game pass doesn't sound great at all.
LOL!! Of course most folks with Gamepass decided to check the game out when it was released almost 2 months ago. The game was number 37 as the best selling game of the month of May which is really not that great. AAA exclusives should be at least in the top 5 or let alone in the top 10. The game is a borefest & the only folks that are still talking about the game are articles like this.
«Piscatella followed up by saying Hellblade 2 fell just outside the top 10 of the US Xbox engagement chart landing in 12th place just behind the resurgent Fallout 76.»
Wow!! Just behind the glorious Fallout 76!
Yeah dude, only took them 6 years. Defending 76 over here.. maybe you are the one in the cave
So the game had good engagement. But some on here are trying real hard to downplay it. Honestly, there is more important things in world then trying to attack a game you probably didn’t even try.
If we're going by engagement which is a dumb ass metric imo , it still didn't do that great. It did low end ok at best.
Also you right there are more important things out there in the world. Except this is a gaming website for gaming news and discussion.
He's talking about all the constantly downplaying that many do here when it comes to Xbox, even if it's good news. Though that's noting nee that's always been this site since I came on here anyway. Sony says they're going off of engagement. Is it still a dumb metric or is it suddenly good now?
Unfortunately that is the metric that both Xbox and PS are concerned with. An all digital future is almost upon us, love it or hate it.
As for the downplaying, @Lightning77 summed it up nicely. But to add, arguing a point is one thing, constantly saying nothing new makes one a resounding gong.
If your judging how well a game is doing on gamepass wouldn't you use engagement metric as you can't go by sales of the game?
Yea, but how many bullets were fired?
We need some hard data here, like bullets fired!
I agree we need the real data for eample....if the crazy girl has 150 mental breakdowns in the movie how movie viewers actually watched the movie long enough to see 10% of them breakdowns and how many thought "dumb" and moved on during the 1st breakdown?
Issue # 399 of Edge Magazine has been released, and it features reviews for games including Hellblade 2, Still Wakes The Deep and more.
Sure, but I'm still skeptical tbh. Walking sims or mechanically-light titles like it *can* receive beneficial scores from them on some special basis.
I’m keeping an eye on Still Wakes the Deep. I’ve beaten a few games by the Chinese Room before. The premise sounds interesting. ‘The Thing’ on an oil rig.
I could not play fir more than one hour ... got bored and un-installed.
Back to GOW on ps5 to get a platinum oh yeah !!
The XBOX publishing team has failed on their exclusives. Those Exec and Senior producers should be canned.
Noppe only the Xbox loving sites giving it 10 and 9's. But they always giving Xbox games onrealistic high scores....
Metacritic and opencritic for this game is in the 80's so no they haven't failed anything. Unless all those Sony games that scored in the 80's are failures too
Won't stop here, watch, day and date announcements next.
Avowed next Please!
Enhanced as in, enhanced with more gameplay time/segments?
I'm only surprised this took so long. I actually haven't gotten around to playing it yet but despite my hype before launch I'm unlikely to buy it now because I got put off so much with friends feedback
This is getting comical now...
