Summary

Xbox head Phil Spencer confirmed that more exclusives will launch on rival platforms like PS5 and Nintendo Switch in future.
We recently saw Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Grounded, and Sea of Thieves launch on PS5, but Spencer said at the time that this wasn't indicative of a change in strategy.
With confirmation that more exclusives will be ported to other platforms, and with Doom: The Dark Ages launching on PS5, that mindset appears to have shifted.

Xbox head Phil Spencer confirmed in an interview with IGN that more exclusives wilꦑl launch on rival platforms like PS5 and Nintendo Switch in the future.

As reported by , Xbox's strategy has radically shifted over the past year. Games such as Hi-Fi Ru꧋sh and Sea of Thieves launched on compet🌳ing hardware, and a report from May claimed that everything, including long-standing flagships💯 like Halo and Gears of War, is on the table. Microsoft is evidently moving away from the id♚ea of exclusives.

Doom: The Dark Ages, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:announced last night, is launching on PlayStation 5.

"Our commitment to our Xbox customers is you're going to get the opportunity to buy or subscribe to the game, and we're going to support the game on other screens," Spencer said. "You are going to see more of our games on more platforms, and we just see that as a benefit to the franchises that we're building, and we see that from players, and the players love to be able to play."

Phil Spencer Originally Said That Xbox Wasn't Changing Its Strategy

After announcing that Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment were going to launch on rival platforms--amidst a storm of controversy surrounding since debunked reports that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Starfield would land on Sony's platform in the near future--Spencer clarified that Xbox would not be changing its approach to exclusives.

However, with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doom: The Dark Ages launching on PS5 and talks of more games coming to more platforms, it certainly 💧looks like Xbox is moving away from first-party tradition.

"We made a decision that we're going to take four games to the other consoles, just four games," Spencer originally said in an official Xbox podcast. "Not a change to our fundamental exclusive strategy."

There's no word on whether Gears of War: E-Day, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a prequel announced last night, will launch on PS5, so it will likely be handled on a case-by-case basis rather than through any sweeping changes. Maybe there's hope yet for The Elder Scrolls 6 on PlayStation, eh?
