Report: New Details on Xbox Published Games Coming to PlayStation،
We still live in an age where consoles retain a certain degree of exclusivity, and Xbox is no exception to this. However, it's possible that Microsoft could open things up a bit by allowing some of its games to be available on non-Xbox platforms.
Maybe we'll find out this week
According to sources speaking to The edge, titles like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch could see some Xbox-exclusive titles released on them. As for those in particular, it has been alleged that Hi-Fi Rush, the hit rhythm game from Tango Gameworks, could be one of them.
Alongside this, we could also see Obsidian Entertainment's medieval, text-heavy Pentment coming to rival consoles as well. Microsoft is also “considering releasing Sea of Thieves” on competing systems, and “other first-party titles are also under consideration.”
While still only rumors at this point, allowing the above exclusives – as well as others – to be available on Sony and Nintendo platforms would represent a “seismic shift in strategy” and not a decision “Microsoft will have taken it lightly.”
The company is asking fans to tune in to a “special edition” of the Official Xbox Podcast this Thursday. According to a recent article on X, Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond and Matt Booty will share “Xbox activity updates.”
Given this, it is possible that we will learn more about the veracity of the speculations. If so, it could open up a new world of consoles abandoning ironclad exclusivity policies. Maybe one day we'll see The Last of Us or Death Stranding on Xbox Series X|S. However, at this point, this is pure speculation.
For now we will have to check the Xbox podcast this week. Hopefully all will be revealed about what the company has planned regarding the possible future of exclusivity.
