Following mounting reports Xbox is preparing for some kind of multiplatform future, Microsoft has confirmed it’ll be bringing four previously Xbox-exclusive first-party titles to PlayStation 5 and Switch later this year, with more likely to come in the future.
Reports that Microsoft was preparing to release a number of first-party games on competing consoles – namely Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush – first surfaced at the start of this year, but it wasn’t until last week’s claims high-profile exclusives such as Starfield and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle would also be going multiplatform that Microsoft broke its silence, promising to reveal more in a podcast this week.
And now, with the podcast finally here, Xbox gaming boss Phil Spencer has confirmed the company has “made the decision that we’re going to take four games to the other consoles”. Bafflingly, however, Spencer does not name the games directly, only saying two are community-driven titles and two are smaller games.
