Over the weekend, rumours have spread that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft is open to making some of its Xbox exclu🌠sives available on rival platforms. Now,🔜 more sources are backing up these claims, suggesting a huge change in direction from Microsoft, which typically keeps its games on Xbox and PC.

The game being brought up the most is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hi-Fi Rush, although most so🧸urces haven't gone as far as naming a particular exclusive. Most recently, 's sources say that Microsoft is "exploring" the idea of re-releasing some of its older games on other platforms. There's no word on specific games that this could encompass, but there's certainly no shortage of exclusives to choose from.

Three years later and this freebie𒆙 still rules the roost.

Going back to the beginning, the rumour started with insider NateTheHate, speaking on . Here, he said that Microsoft will port a game that was met with "high critical acclaim" to another platform. It's widely assumed that Nate is referring to Hi-Fi Rush, particularly as he adds that the title😼 was in the "Game of the Y♐ear conversation" when it came out.

Now, while Windows Central's sources aren't confirming that this is the case, they are backing up the idea that Xbox wants to port some games to competitors. It is important to note, however, that this refers to games that have already been released, and is not a change expected to come to upcoming releases. With this in mind, we shouldn't expect upcoming games from the likes of Bethesda to make their way onto 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation, especially since its most recent game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Starfield, isn't even being brought up in the conversation of possib𝓰le ports.

This would be a more extreme version of what we see from Sony, which allows its PlayStation exclusives to port to PC sometime after the initial launch. Of course, neither Sony nor Nintendo go as far as dropping these on rival platforms too. The only exception here is when a game has a limited-time exclusivity deal like Sony had with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Deathloop.

With this all being said, given Microsoft's recent successful acquisition of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Activision Blizzard, we should probably expect even more titles to go Xbox exclusive than ever before. As part of getting the deal over the line, Microsoft only had to share access to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:promising it to Sony, Nintendo, and some 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:cloud gaming platforms. Sony was even offered access to all Activisioꦦn Blizzard games for four years but opted to just have Call of🔯 Duty for ten years instead, leaving other IPs free t🔯o go Xbox exclusive.

Microsoft has ye♚t to respond to these recent rumours.
