Microsoft is poised to unveil its strategy to bring Hi-Fi Rush and other Xbox exclusives to PS5 and Nintendo Switch, as reported by The Verge. Details of Microsoft’s cross-platform approach have been gradually surfacing, with The Verge revealing that the forthcoming Indiana Jones game is being considered for PS5.
Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, announced in a recent post that they are planning a business update event for the following week to outline more about Xbox's future vision. Initially scheduled for later this month, alongside the announcement of Hi-Fi Rush for PS5 and Nintendo Switch, Microsoft adjusted its timeline due to mounting speculation.
Datamined game assets hinted at Hi-Fi Rush’s release for PS5 and Nintendo Switch, following rumors of other Xbox games making their way to non-Xbox platforms. With the recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, Microsoft intends to address the future of Activision Blizzard during the business update event.
There is still no information available on when Activision Blizzard’s titles will be accessible on the Xbox Game Pass. While Microsoft has not officially confirmed the porting of Xbox exclusives to PS5, the potential impact on sales figures remains uncertain if console-exclusive titles are expanded to other consoles. The forthcoming business update event is expected to provide clarity on Microsoft’s gaming strategy going forward.
