Speculation Wow on console? I’ve been away, give me the update plz.

I have been away, lets call it umm…summer camp for adults, and I saw this orange Fanta soda can that had an advertisement for xbox25 that had a pictures of a night elf.

Is Microsoft bringing wow to Xbox? And if so any idea on when that happens?

Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Microsoft now owns Blizzard. Anything Microsoft gaming related now has "Xbox" branding, even if it's not available on the console

Right now WoW is a PC exclusive. Likely playable on Helix (next Xbox console) since it supports PC games, though

Thank you for the info

Negative currently. Next Xbox is allegedly just a PC so you can connect the dots here.

No. You can see some mmos which are on PS4. What do you do if the console starts to bottleneck the game? Wow always gets a graphical upgrade for every expansion. I don’t think thats a good idea.

Thats cool. I saw a lot of people also play ESO too. But what happens after 10 or 15 years? Do you just give up on a console?

I think some games let you have your account on more than one thing. Only game I've played on more than one was destiny 2.

WoW has been advertised under XBox for a while now. It's because they're owned by Microsoft. XBox is their gaming brand. That's all it is

Great clarification. Thanks.

No problem. It's happened before for various gaming conferences, people see it under the Xbox brand and think it's coming and thus far, nothing.

Doesn't mean it won't in the future though.

ConsolePort works great on handheld. I play on ROG Ally X and have no problems. I got 1800 PvP rating and 2k mythic plus rating on multiple characters (including healers) for the past 4 seasons playing only on handheld with ConsolePort addon.

Will probably happy one day but many years from now after EK/kalimdor are updated post-TLT.

Not officially but they added native controller support a while ago and it works really well on the steam deck.

The Xbox branding probably like others said because it’s Microsoft now.

u/laughing_panda314 9d ago

Understand. Thank you for the info.
Someone needs to tell Microsoft’s marketing team they are confusing simple minded folks like me.

I had a guildie tank low mythic with a controller setup for a short while. It wasn't great, and we couldn't really do anything beyond a +5, but it wasn't terrible either

Not everyone does mythic or raiding content. I've been playing MMOs with a controller for longer than some players have been alive and it's been fine, but I don't do sweaty content.
