Microsoft Is Bringing Four Xbox-Exclusive Games to PS5 and Nintendo Switch

Microsoft just had its big business podcast with not-so-big announcements. While the focal point of the podcast was more than just new hardware or gaming announcements, it was more about addressing the earlier leaks. BesidesDiablo 4coming to Game Pass, we now have confirmation of four Xbox-exclusive games for PS5 and Nintendo.

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox announced that four upcoming games are coming to other platforms. While he did not reveal the names when asked, Phil Spencer had quite a lot of things to say about this strategy. While mentioning there are multiple reasons behind this non-exclusivity strategy, Spencer says,

“I do have a fundamental belief that over the next 5 or 10 years, exclusive games — games that are exclusive to one piece of hardware — are going to be a smaller and smaller part of the game industry,”

This could only mean Microsoft completely going the non-exclusivity route in the future. Additionally, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, mentions Fortnite and Roblox with their cross-platform success. According to Microsoft, this strategy is focused on building a long-term player base.

While this all happened, there wereno reveals about what the games are. However, when asked, Spencer talks abouttwo community-based gamesandtwo smaller non-community-based games. Spencer does confirm that the games will not be Starfield orIndiana Joneswhen he was asked about it.
