"You are going to see more of our games on more platforms": Xbox chief Phil Spencer says Microsoft will continue making first-party titles multiplatform

Xbox Games Showcase 2024.

What you need to know

  • Earlier this year, Microsoft brought four games previously exclusive to Xbox consoles (and PC) to rival platforms like Sony's PS5 and Nintendo's Switch.
  • Now, in the wake of the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has confirmed in a new interview that Microsoft intends to bring additional first-party titles to other systems in the future.
  • It's unclear which games these might be right now, though based on previous comments and releases, it's likely they will be games that either stop growing on Xbox or could grow exceptionally well on other systems.
  • Earlier this year, Spencer and other Xbox executives said its overall exclusive strategy isn't changing, and that Xbox players can continue to look forward to day one first-party Xbox Game Pass availability as well as exclusive access to Xbox Game Pass itself.
