New reports claim that Microsoft’s CEO has been pressuring all divisions to make more money Xbox to release even more games from some of its biggest franchises PlayStation and Switchwhich led to internal debates and “unrest”.

Thank you PS Plus for making my backlog even bigger

Earlier this year, Reports surfaced The Xbox planned to bring some of its previously Xbox-exclusive games to other consoles. This led to The Xbox fan base is collapsing

. In the end there were four games –Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Penteniment, And Hi-Fi Rush– Confirmed to be making the jump to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. In February 2024While announcing that some Xbox games would become cross-platform, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that larger first-party titles like Starfield And Indiana Jones We wouldn’t make the same multiplatform jump.
