Chaotic Xbox One multiplayer sports game #IDARB could be released for PlayStation 4 sometime down the road, according to one of the game's developers, Mike Mika.

He writes on Twitter that #IDARB has about six-month exclusivity deal with Microsoft, meaning a PlayStation version could be released as early as this summer. He also talked cross-play and the possibility of a new map or mode for the game launching sometime in the future.

#IDARB is somewhat tough to explain, but basically, your objective is to get the ball into your opponent's goal. Action is fast-paced and frenetic, and it supports up to eight players. Check out the video above to see the game in action. GameSpot's 8/10 #IDARB review praised the game's simple and engaging controls, as well as its humor, among other things.

"It stands as proof that all it takes to make a fantastic game, even with today's available technology, is a solid set of core gameplay mechanics with inherent depth," reviewer Tyler Hicks wrote.

The game is available for free right now on Xbox One for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. It's also coming to PC, though a release date has not been announced.

All "exclusive" games should be only time-limited. It is really stupid that everyone cannot enjoy Halo, Forza, Uncharted, both GoW franchises, GT, Resistance... and all the rest.

No it's not. 3ds, PS3 and Xbox 360 hav sold more consoles than the PS4 plus the Xbox One is way better than the ps4. The ps4 is garbage

<< LINK REMOVED >> I thought the console wars were over? I'd suggest we stop fighting over which one is the "best" and just get back to playing games and trash talking over which titles are the most coveted. At least those arguments are short so the pointlessness of fighting is over with much more quickly. I don't want to see a ten year war between Sony and Microsoft owners drag on and on. It does nothing for people or the industry at large; vote with your wallet in this case.

At least this is maybe a good gauge for how long X1 timed exclusivity lasts. Hopefully it's the same for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Ms already said it's pretty much up to the developers especially once windows 10 drops.

Brilliant party game. My kids and I have had some brutal experiences playing together and online with this gamer.

By far the most played party game we have on our XBox at home. Proves that graphics do not make great games.


PS4 players will love IDARB. Everyone should IDARB.

This game gets a lot of undeserved hate. It's a lot of fun if you have friends to play with. Playing this game alone does suck. You can easily point out the loners in the comments.

Nobody's missing anything. there's a reason it's been given away on GWG for two months.

really, this is such an overhyped "we-finally-got-a-super-cool-retro-INDIE-game-on-the-X1-that-PS4-doesn't-have" thing…

it will be just another retro indie game on the already PlaySteamindie4, not missing anything...

There are plenty of great indie games on the X1 that aren't on the ps4. Super time force is a great example

Well that's good news for those folks who only have a PS4. I've downloaded it but haven't had time to play it. My son seems to enjoy it though. I don't understand people and their "it's only 8-bits" comments. I come from a generation where we looked for fun gameplay. Graphics were icing. Most of my favorite games today still look like sh1t. Do I care? Not in the least. I play video games. I don't stand around and admire the scenery.


Enjoy the game PS4 owners.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I think it's because 8-bit graphics are over 20 years old now. It's nice to wax nostalgia but the fact is hardware has moved way beyond what's required to run 8-bit inspired games. We want our hardware to be pushed to the limit, not held back. I never heard of this game and probably won't buy it. Even on Steam if I see 8-bit retro graphics I skip it immediately. I didn't build a gaming PC to play games that barely tap into the potential power. Am I skipping over some great titles? Maybe...but I'm don't feel like I'm missing anything my life by doing so.
