Xbox owns the Doom: The Dark Ages studio, but Phil Spencer says the FPS is coming to PS5 because Doom is "a franchise that everyone deserves to play"

Doom.

Despite Microsoft's recent spate of high-profile Xbox exclusives, including Starfield, Xbox chief Phil Spencer says that Doom: The Dark Ages is coming to PS5 because "it's a franchise that everyone deserves to play."

Speaking at IGN Live, Spencer was asked why Doom: The Dark Ages, a slightly medieval twist on the iconic FPS franchise that was announced earlier today during the Xbox Games Showcase would be coming to PS5. That multi-console release is a distinct departure from Xbox's recent strategy, which has seen several of the games released in the wake of the company's purchase of Zenimax Media launch only on PC and Xbox. Starfield and Redfall are both Xbox console exclusives, and games like Avowed and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are both due to follow suit.
