Recent rumors suggest even high-profile exclusives like Starfield and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle could become available on non-Microsoft consoles, sparking concern among some Xbox followers and internal discord.
The decision to expand onto other platforms could bring new audiences to titles like Hi-Fi Rush and benefit live services like Sea of Thieves while also boosting revenue for Microsoft. However, it raises questions about the role of exclusives on console platforms and the future of Xbox in the gaming industry.
The podcast promises to address these concerns and provide further details on Microsoft’s plans. Stay tuned for updates after its release.
