It is understood the “majority” of Xbox games will eventually be coming to PlayStation.
That’s according to Chris Dring from Eurogamer’s sister site GamesIndustry.biz. Speaking on the GI Microcast, Dring said his takeaway from GDC was that “Xbox is in real trouble as a hardware manufacturer”. Sources who spoke to Dring during the conference last week said that “Xbox’s performance in Europe is just flatlining”, and some publishers were now expressing concerns about supporting the console.
“The phrase one major company who released a big game last year said [was], ‘I don’t know why we bothered supporting it’,” Dring shared. “We mentioned on a previous podcast that we’d heard retailers in Europe are considering or had already been cutting back their Xbox stock on their shelves – hardware, games, that kind of thing – and now you’ve got third-party publishers going, ‘we’re putting in a lot of effort trying to create a Series S version and an X version of a game when, to be honest with you, for us the market is PC and PS5’.”
