Rumour – Xbox Is Planning To Bring The “Majority” Of Its Games To PlayStation

In accordance with GamesIndustry.Biz head Chris Dring, publishers are dropping curiosity in supporting Xbox by way of getting their video games onto Xbox platforms.

This comes from Dring’s conversations with publishers whereas attending Sport Developer Convention (GDC) 2024, the place Dring obtained the impression that publishers and builders are struggling to search out “the purpose” in spending the money and time to deliver their video games to Xbox.

One other layer to this dialog is that Dring heard there are plans from Xbox to deliver the “majority” of its video games over to PlayStation, as long as this primary batch of Xbox video games coming to PlayStation goes the way in which Xbox hopes it would.

“With Xbox placing among the video games on PS5—from what I perceive nearly all of them can be coming throughout sooner or later, assuming it progresses as Xbox believes it most likely will—I feel Xbox is in actual hassle as a {hardware} producer, and that was the factor that got here out of GDC for me.”

It’s price noting that Dring is a longtime voice in video games media, and wouldn’t be throwing round this data if it wasn’t what he’d been listening to.

We’ve additionally had stories about different Xbox video games coming to PS5 that aren’t the 4 already introduced, and Phil Spencer’s wording across the preliminary 4 has by no means closed the door relating to extra video games coming to PlayStation.

In the end, Dring’s conversations with GDC attendees are simply that, conversations, and issues can change at any second, if there’s certainly a plan from Microsoft to deliver most of its Xbox library to PlayStation and different platforms.
