«Games that are exclusive to one piece of hardware are going to be a smaller and smaller part of the game industry,» says Phil Spencer.
After a couple weeks of rumors, Xbox diehards were bracing for cataclysm today: Was Microsoft really going to announce that it’s going to give up on Xbox console exclusivity—or even consoles themselves—and start releasing its big games, such as Starfield, on PlayStation 5? It turns out: No, not really.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer did announce on today’s Official Xbox Podcast (embedded above) that four Xbox exclusives will be releasing on PlayStation 5 and Switch, but none of them are Starfield or Bethesda’s upcoming Indiana Jones game.
Spencer wouldn’t identify the games, except to say that they’re all at least a year old, two of them are «community driven» games whose growth potential now lies off Xbox, and two are smaller games that «were never really meant to be built as platform exclusives.
