Xbox Head Says Next-Gen Exclusives are ‘Completely Counter to What Gaming is About,’ Argues Cross-Gen Releases Don’t Hold Back Games
We?ve known for some time now that Microsoft?s next-gen strategy is not to focus on the specific Xbox Series X console but rather on the Xbox family of devices, including PCs, for releases of essentially all titles on the platform. While third-parties are free to develop how they want to and we?ll most certainly see some next-gen exclusives on the platform, Xbox head Phil Spencer says that next-gen exclusive titles are ?completely counter to what gaming is about.?
Spencer isn?t talking about platform exclusives here, at least not specifically. His comment refers to the different strategies between Sony and Microsoft for next-gen. While Sony is already touting next-gen PS5 exclusives like Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel?s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, which will require players to purchase a PlayStation 5 to play, Xbox exclusives will be playable on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC, so players have more freedom to get to play the game and don?t need to feel left out if they don?t purchase the next-gen Xbox.
