PlayStation has indeed been taking a very different approach to Microsoft in terms of its releases. Team Green is moving aggressively to launch titles on multiple platforms, while PlayStation is focusing on exclusive games that may come to PC later.

Ever since its release, fans really wanted an Xbox port announcement. Even Phil Spencer admitted that he would love to see the game on his platform. 

However, PlayStation doesn’t seem too keen on sharing its first-party games with Xbox. Nonetheless, the game turned into a great hit, recording the most revenue for any title in H1 of 2024. 

While its player base has significantly reduced now, it still records over 50K concurrent players regularly on Steam. An Xbox launch could’ve led the game to another huge resurgence but PlayStation is adamant about keeping its titles exclusive.
