Microsoft has announced that they will be releasing four Xbox-exclusive games on other consoles, such as PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer explained that this decision was made to ensure the long-term success of Xbox and to expand the reach and impact of these games. It was emphasized that this move does not represent a fundamental change in Xbox’s approach to exclusivity.
Spencer revealed that the four games chosen to go multi-platform are over a year old and include community-driven games and first iterations of franchises. He also noted that service-based games, likely Sea of Thieves and Grounded, will benefit from the increase in players on other platforms.
However, Microsoft stressed that this decision does not detract from their commitment to Xbox consoles. They affirmed that Xbox will continue to provide players with flagship experiences and the best value and convenience.
Xbox President Sarah Bond teased some big news about the next generation of Xbox consoles, promising a major technological leap for players and creators alike.
In summary, this move is designed to benefit the Xbox community and the gaming industry as a whole, without compromising the quality of Xbox-exclusive experiences.
