Microsoft is changing its approach by releasing more first-party games on rival platforms like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch. This strategy aims to reach a broader audience and enhance the gaming experience for players.
Head of Xbox Game Studios, Craig Duncan, emphasized the importance of making games accessible to as many players as possible. By removing barriers, Microsoft allows gamers to enjoy titles like Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 5 on different systems.
Microsoft’s CEO, Phil Spencer, also supports this initiative, stating that restricting game availability does not benefit the gaming community. The company’s new strategy includes a variety of release plans for different titles. While some games, like Starfield, remain exclusive to Xbox, others such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will launch on both Xbox and PS5.
This approach not only enhances player access but also contributes to Microsoft’s revenue. Although the company retains only 70% of sales from games sold on PS5, these earnings are reinvested into developing more Xbox titles.
As Microsoft continues to expand its game library across platforms, players can expect a more inclusive gaming environment.
