Every time I think we’ve well and truly put the dark days of the console wars behind us, I’m reminded that we most definitely haven’t.
The latest instance of PlayStation vs. Xbox nonsense surrounds a ‘rumoured’ port of Days Gone to the green brand.
I say ‘rumoured’ as it was more of a theory on behalf of Xbox fans.
It all began when Bend Studio, the developer behind Days Gone, posted a cryptic tweet featuring the emoji using a glass monocle.

This prompted one user to reply with, “Is it actually happening? Such an Xbox coded game,” which garnered a fair bit of support from those in agreement.
Plenty of others chimed in.
“Xbox port for Days Gone?” added another user, while one echoed, “Days Gone on Xbox?”
This was accompanied by existing PlayStation fans clowning for a sequel announcement.
Well, it turns out that Bend was teasing the arrival of the game’s Broken Road DLC on PC platform GOG with the tweet being, perhaps unsurprisingly, nothing to do with Xbox at all.
I can’t say that Xbox fans were delusional here as they had valid reasoning.
PlayStation recently put out a job ad for a senior director of multiplatform, with the listing referencing both Xbox and Nintendo.
And then, of course, there was the previous surprise reveal that Helldivers II would be landing on Microsoft’s consoles.
That being said, while it’s possible that additional Xbox ports will surface, I can’t see Sony being quite as all-in on this method as we’ve seen Xbox be in recent months with its first-party games.
Unfortunately, this misunderstanding by Xbox fans with regards to Days Gone didn’t conclude when Bend Studio actually made its DLC announcement.
PlayStation fans have since surfaced to roast the entire situation.
“And they claim PlayStation has no games but yet they’re the ones salivating for a chance of a PlayStation game,” wrote Jep2069.
“The Xbox fans on this app actually helped their post reach insane engagement for such a small announcement,” added supergunzy.
Come on everyone, play nicely. Please?
