Summary

Over the past year, Xbox has been porting exclusives to Nintendo Switch and PS5 like Hi-Fi Rush and Grounded.
Reportedly, it's considering doing the same for the upcoming Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.
However, Microsoft allegedly isn't sure that it would be successful on its rival platform.

Earlier this year, Xbox announced it was bringing four exclusives to other consoles, those being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hi-Fi Rush, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pentiment, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sea of Thieves, and Grounded. But it's not stopping there, as Microsoft is reportedly discussing the idea of bringing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 to PS5 as well.

Amidst 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the closure of Tango Gamewo🔯rks and Arkane Austin, concerns about what Xbox considers a success are bubbling. Tango developed the 🐼award-winning Hi-Fi Rush which higher-ups like Bethesda Softworks senior vice president T🦩odd Vaughn lauded as "one of the most successful launches [...] in recent years". After the closure, Xbox Games Studios head Matt Booty even said that the company needs "smaller games that give us prestige and awards".

It's unclear why Hi-Fi Rush didn't qualify despite Phil Spencer calling it a "smaller game", so this confusion has understandably brought forward anxieties around other Microsoft-owned companies like Ninja Theory - 168澳洲幸运👍ꦑ5开奖网:fans are even urging people to buy Hellblade 2 instead of using Game Pass. But according to , Microsoft isn't sure tꦏhat launching ൲on PS5 would be a success.

Why Xbox Is Bringing Games To PS5

Over the years, we've seen Xbox and Sony bring their games to PC, including flagship exclusives like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us and Halo, but never to their riv🌊al console platforms. With the likes of Hi-Fi Rush and Grounded, that's changed.

According to The Verge, there's a mix of reasons for this new strategy - poor hardware sales (down 31 percent year on year), a slowdown of Game Pass subscribers, and delays. Microsoft is even reportedly discussing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Gears of War for PlayStation.

And while buying out Activision Blizzard King in the game industry's biggest acquisition to date could be seen as a strategy to bolster Game Pass, Microsoft is reportedly unsure about bringing the company's heaviest hitter to the service, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty, out of fear that it may undermine sales. But Xbox has 🔜also agreed to keep launchi꧂ng new Call of Duty games on PlayStation, so there won't be exclusivity to b⛦olster hardware s♏ales, either.
