Starfield Targets PS5, Microsoft Considers Ditching Xbox Exclusive Games

Xbox has changed course. The first warning was the news that Hellblade 2 would be released only in digital format, or, in other words, the probe probe on which the potential goodbye physical format. The second was the layoffs of almost 2,000 company employees and the restructuring of Activision Blizzard. Today the third and last one comes to us. XboxEra told us that Starfield coming to PS5 and it also won’t be the only exclusive title from the brand that will be looking to expand its horizons.

Indiana Jones may also be coming to PS5

Verge media confirms this news and supplements it with new names. This ensures that highly anticipated releases such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on PC and Xbox, as well as PS5.. These will be timed exclusives for a few months, like many others we’ve seen lately (Silent Hill: The Short Message being the most recent case). The most striking thing about this issue is that here we are talking about the first party game to go multiplatformthat is, a game developed by Microsoft itself.

Information from colleagues highlights rumors and leaks that have been claiming for months that there is a version of games such as Sea of ​​Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush are on their way to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Some even mention that the list of games that are about to change the scene includes Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which means “before” and “after” in the industry, as well as how we once learned about the exclusivity and policies of third-party developers.

In the absence of an official statement with appropriate explanations, it is worth thinking about the consequences of such a turn of the steering wheel. Was Starfield’s sales really not enough? Is Microsoft starting to care about selling Xbox consoles and betting on Game Pass? What kind of future do Redmond residents see and what do they strive for?
