As Xbox continues to expand its presence on other platforms, Xbox head Phil Spencer reiterates his commitment to allowing players to enjoy their games anywhere.
The future of Xbox is clearly multiplatform, with the recent release of Xbox games on various platforms. In an interview with the XboxEra podcast, Spencer addressed comments he made during an FTC hearing in 2023 regarding the distribution of games on PlayStation. Despite the revenue share model, Xbox has been steadily releasing games on other platforms, such as Forza Horizon 5 on PS5.
Spencer acknowledged the importance of generating revenue from games released on different platforms, emphasizing the significance of investing in their own platform. He expressed a desire to reach a wider audience and build a strong fan base across different gaming platforms.
Spencer emphasized the importance of allowing players to enjoy games on their preferred platforms, rather than trying to steer them towards Xbox. He highlighted the positive impact of revenue generated from games on other platforms in building a diverse portfolio of games.
This transparent discussion reflects Xbox’s strategy for the future, with a focus on inclusivity and expanding their reach. Speculation about flagship titles like Halo: The Master Chief Collection coming to new platforms demonstrates Xbox’s open-minded approach to gaming.
