Xbox Game Studios Boss Fully Supports Xbox’s Cross-Platform Strategy

Expert Verified By

"It's Good For The Studios And For The Gamers."

Story Highlight
  • Xbox Games Studio head Craig Duncan has said that the multiplatform strategy is good for the studio.
  • The studio lead has come out in full support of the change, saying it’s good for gamers.
  • Forza Horizon 5 is the next first-party title confirmed for PlayStation 5.

Xbox has created waves in the gaming community for its new first-party strategy, becoming the first major developer to bring its exclusive titles to other platforms. With Phil Spencer reasoning that this u-turn allows Xbox to create new games, the multiplatform surge is in full flow.

Now, the head of Xbox Game Studios has also come out in support of this idea, corroborating Phil Spencer’s words.

Why this matters: Xbox going full multiplatform has severe implications for the overall outlook of the gaming world in the upcoming years.

Craig Duncan, the head of Xbox Game Studios, said in a new episode of the Xbox podcast that he fully supports the cross-platform strategy the company has adopted. Duncan further explained that it is good for the studio and, more importantly, it’s good for the gaming community.

The head of the studio also mentioned that he wants to see these titles cross the boundaries of different platforms and reach the broadest audience possible so everyone can enjoy them. Craig Duncan brought up the success of Sea of Thieves on PlayStation, saying it’s good that the studio’s art is reaching more people.

Yeah I think its good for the gamers and its good for our studios.

Therefore, the official position on the multiplatform spin is Xbox is trying to reach as many players as possible so the games can sell to their full potential. The company is releasing more titles on PlayStation this year than the Japanese giant itself, emphasizing its insistence on going multiplatform.

Fable Xbox
Fable is also reportedly launching on PS5 in 2026.

Rumors already suggest that the now-delayed Fable is going to launch day one on the PlayStation 5, and if that is true, the prediction of Xbox becoming a software-only company gains more weight with every passing day.

Do you think going multiplatform is a good idea, or is Xbox over its head? Tell us in the comments below or head to the Tech4Gamers forum for discussion.
