Recently, it was reported that Microsoft seems to have reimagined its exclusivity strategy and is planning to bring last year's triple-A blockbuster "Starfield" to rival Sony's PlayStation 5 platform. Microsoft intends to release the Starfield PlayStation 5 version after the expansion Shattered Space is released.
According to WCCFTECH, in addition to Starfield, Microsoft also intends to bring the Gears of War series to the PlayStation platform, which is currently under consideration, which is one of the symbols of Microsoft's Xbox first-party game lineup. Cross-platform is likely to be Microsoft's future gaming direction, including Indiana Jones and the Greatest Circle, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment. As previously announced, Microsoft executives have discussed the idea of exclusive games coming to more platforms. Internally, not everyone was happy with the decision, but the idea that "landing on more platforms would make you the money you should have earned" prevailed, so the momentum eventually moved in the direction of cross-platform. Hi-Fi Rush is scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 5 in the first quarter of this year, and Microsoft may release information soon.
Rumors had been made to announce the transition of exclusive games to cross-platform at the end of February, but rumors leaked ahead of schedule, and the market was instantly filled with speculation. If Microsoft chooses to do so, it will have far-reaching consequences for the entire industry.
