- Rumors are swirling that Xbox is gearing up to end its console-exclusive games run, with a wide array of titles slated to hit its main console rival, Sony's PlayStation 5.
- Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush have both been rumored for the multi-platform treatment, owing to both games' saturation on Xbox and PC. Hi-Fi Rush also had in-game t-shirts datamined, which seem to hint at a run on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
- We started hearing rumors about Microsoft's multiplatform ambitions back in early December, which were then effectively confirmed by Xbox CFO Tim Stuart at a Wells Fargo meeting a short while ago.
- It was unclear whether or not it would be select titles, or many titles, but this latest report from XboxEra suggests that even flagship exclusives like Starfield are destined for PlayStation too.
- UPDATE: Reportedly Indiana Jones, and even Gears of War are being considered for multi-platform treatment, amid continuing radio silence from Microsoft.
