It’s official: Following recent reports, Microsoft announced Thursday that it will bring some previously exclusive Xbox games to competing consoles, which would likely include Sony PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.
Xbox head Phil Spencer confirmed in an official podcast that four games will be brought to competing consoles, but clarified that those titles will not include Starfield or the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, despite reports claiming otherwise.
Spencer clarified that the four games in question are all at least a year old, but would not name the titles, suggesting that official announcements are coming from each game’s team on the horizon. The Verge reports that the games will be Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded, according to sources familiar with Xbox’s plans.
According to Spencer, Microsoft will not release all of its typically exclusive games on other consoles, but is using this effort as an experiment to help spread original franchises to more places and onboard more players.
