- Xbox first-party games have shown quite decent overall sales on the PS5.
- 13 titles have now sold over 100K copies and an overall revenue of over $700 million.
- This suggests that Xbox might never go back to exclusives ever again.
Xbox finally gave up on its exclusives after underwhelming hardware sales and decided to go completely multiplatform, which led it to launch almost every major first-party game on PS5. And that, it seems, has paid off well.
According to a new report, 13 Xbox first-party games have sold over 100K copies on Steam. This shows the impact of the company’s multiplatform strategy and why they might never go back to exclusivity ever again.
Why it matters: Some of these titles have had a better reception on PlayStation than on Xbox. This has led to a decent number of copies sold, which could be a driving force for Team Green to continue multiplatform releases.
Alinea Analytics has revealed an in-depth detail about how Xbox games have performed on PS5. 13 titles have now sold over 100K copies, and 3 have sold over a million copies, and an overall revenue of over $700 million.
Forza Horizon 5 has sold a whopping 5.8 million copies, Sea of Thieves 2.7 million, and Oblivion Remastered around 1.2 million. Furthermore, almost every upcoming major title is also set to release on the PlayStation 5.
This suggests that Xbox’s multiplatform strategy is here to stay, as it is doing decently well on the platform. Asha Sharma did hint that they are reevaluating their exclusive strategy, but it seems unlikely they’ll return.
