It is the law of life, or at least of the video game industry. Microsoft has confirmed that it no longer develops exclusive video games with the idea of releasing them on Xbox One in mind. The console launched in 2013 says goodbye definitively to the company’s first-party development cycle.
It has been 10 years in which the system has accompanied us and has been present in the front row of launches, but titles like Starfield or Redfall already made it clear where the shots were going. In addition, the recent Xbox Games Showcase 2023 presented a large number of works that will directly see the light of day on Xbox Series X / S.
Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, has revealed the data in a interview
So, is it mandatory to leave the Xbox One to present ourselves in the future of Microsoft? Booty himself rules it out and ensures that system owners will still be able to continue playing it thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming. “This is how we are going to maintain support,” confirms the person in charge, although it is necessary to have a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to use this technology.
