Microsoft has changed the game, literally.
Rumors began to swirl in November that Microsoft was planning to port Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush to other platforms, alongside various other rumors. I'd heard Hellblade 2 was being ported, I'd heard Starfield was being ported, and since I was able to debunk both of these via my own sources — by January I'd dismissed the whole premise. However, the rumors persisted. Over time, it became clear that the Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush rumors were true, and since then, Grounded and Pentiment were all outed as the first of four games ditching their Xbox console exclusivity label.
