Xbox Now Abandoning Permanent Console Exclusives, Says Insider

Expert Verified By

No More Xbox-Only Titles From Now On!

Story Highlight
  • Xbox is now abandoning permanent console exclusives from now on.
  • All the first-party titles that launch on Xbox consoles will eventually appear on other platforms.
  • Official remarks in the past have also hinted at similar strategies, but take these rumors with a pinch of salt.

The console industry is changing rapidly, with the value of exclusives and differences in hardware diminishing day by day. So, all the giant console makers in the gaming scene have been forced to adapt new strategies to ensure prolonged survival.

As the first adapter, Microsoft is spearheading one of the most controversial and arguably successful strategies: releasing most of its first-party titles onto other consoles.

Now, it is about to double down on this path, as Xbox has decided to eliminate permanent console exclusives altogether.

Why it matters: Xbox abandoning permanent console exclusives means that every first-party title that releases will make its way onto other platforms, whether fans like it or not.

Accredited industry insider Jez Corden claims that Xbox will no longer have permanent console exclusives going forward.
Industry insider Jez Corden claims all Xbox games will come to PlayStation over time.

In a new Twitter statement, popular insider Jez Corden claims that the era of Xbox having permanent console exclusives has already ended. Every game we get to play on Xbox will eventually launch on PlayStation and PC over time.

But the era of Xbox having permanent console exclusives is over.

There is already definite proof of this claim, like the announcement that a sequel to the Xbox-exclusive franchise, Outer Worlds 2, will launch on PlayStation from the start.

Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones is also eventually set to arrive on PlayStation 5.

All in all, it is best to take these claims with a grain of salt. While Xbox’s current trajectory is heading towards no exclusives, no official statement has affirmed these rumors for now.

Do you think Xbox will not launch any permanent first-party titles at all, or will Microsoft secure some once in a while? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
