Media: release of Xbox exclusives on PS5 depends on the success of one game

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

In April, PC and Xbox exclusives Grounded and Sea of Thieves will launch. The topic was brought up by Tom Warren from The Verge, who confirmed an interesting piece of news.

Most likely, the decisive factor in the American giant’s future plans will be Rare’s game and its success on the new device.

If Sea of Thieves is successful on PlayStation 5, Microsoft leadership is expected to look more favorably upon porting their subsequent products to Japanese platforms:

“Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell me the company is still evaluating other Xbox-exclusive games coming to PS5. As I understand it, Sea of Thieves will be a key test for whether other games might make their way to PS5 or Nintendo Switch.”

Thus, the above can be interpreted as follows: want Hellblade 2 or Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to come to PlayStation 5? Play Rare’s product, which will increase the chances of Microsoft favoring the release of exclusives on Sony’s platform.
