Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has announced today as part of the Official Xbox Podcast that four games from the Xbox first-party lineup will be coming to other consoles in the near future - although they haven't been named yet.
That said, we do have a few clues. Firstly, we know they're definitely not Starfield or Indiana Jones as previously rumoured - and Spencer also revealed a few more hints about what kind of games to expect:
"We looked at games that are over a year old. So they've been on Xbox and PC for a while. A couple of the games are community-driven games, new games, kind of first iterations of a franchise that have reached their full potential, let's say, on Xbox and PC-- there's always growth, franchises that we obviously want to continue to invest in."
"Two of the other games are smaller games that were never really meant to be built as kind of platform exclusives and all the fanfare that goes around that, but games that our teams really wanted to go build that we love supporting creative endeavors across our studios regardless of size. And as they've realized their full potential on Xbox and PC, we see an opportunity to utilize the other platforms as a place to just drive more business value out of those games, allowing us to invest in maybe future iterations of those, so equals to those, or just other games like that in our portfolio."
Our initial thoughts are that these four games could be Hi-Fi RUSH, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment and possibly Grounded, although clearly Xbox wants to wait a little longer until they're officially confirmed.
It was also mentioned during the show that these four titles aren't indicative of any major shift in strategy for Xbox in regards to exclusives, although it remains to be seen if more games will make the jump in the future as well.
