Could be coming to a future console, but will it actually work with all games?

FIFA games at 0-0 because both sides keep rewinding every time the other play scores.

Fuck no, it’ll barely work with any game, just like most of the new features they promote any time they announce a new console.

Every other game today is live service online only garbage which means they wouldn’t allow rewinds given the server-side dependencies that wouldn’t work with it, and games from other developers would probably support the feature for 2 launch titles before everyone stops caring about it because it’s extra work and no one uses it anyways.
