It looks like Xbox exclusives are slowly becoming a thing of the past, as Phil Spencer has said that more titles are coming to other platforms. Those with an Xbox Series system might be disappointed, but that doesn’t mean fans won’t have any exclusives to enjoy, as the recent Xbox Showcase showed.
Phil Spencer appeared on IGN Live and told fans that they’re going to see more Xbox games on “other screens,” which means PlayStation and Nintendo. Spencer previously said that there wouldn’t be too many Xbox games coming to other systems, but it seems that he’s willing to share Microsoft’s exclusives more these days.
We’ve seen a number of Microsoft’s exclusives appear on other systems for years now, so this was almost inevitable in a way. Fans will remember how shocking it was for Xbox to release their exclusives on PC at launch, but it seemed limited to that platform. However, we’re getting more of these former exclusives coming to other systems, like Cuphead and Hi-Fi Rush.
To be fair, while more Xbox games are coming to other systems, they did just announce a bunch of exclusives during their most recent Showcase. At the time of writing, Perfect Dark, Fable, Gears of War: E-Day, and more are exclusive to Xbox and PC. Microsoft might eventually bring some of these games to other consoles, but it’s going to take a very long time.
PlayStation is slowly embracing PC gaming, as the company has been bringing more of their exclusives to gaming computers. Granted, they’re upcoming games won’t be available in over 170 countries, but there are other ways to get around that.
Xbox Series systems are readily available in most game stores and fans who have one shouldn’t feel ashamed about that. Last night’s Showcase proves that Xbox owners will have a ton of games to play through, some of which look much better than Sony’s exclusives.
