No Xbox Games Are Off the Table for Release on PlayStation, Says Phil Spencer 1

Ever since Xbox's initial steps into multiplatform releases, fans have been wondering where the company will draw the line. Earlier this year, a quartet of previously Xbox-exclusive titles made their way to PS5 and PS4 (Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, Grounded, and Hi-Fi Rush), and with a new comment from top exec Phil Spencer, it sounds like nothing is too sacred to make the jump.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Spencer comments on Xbox's strategy of releasing some games on more platforms. He makes it clear that its entire catalogue of first-party games are on the table. "I do not see sort of red lines in our portfolio that say ‘thou must not,'" he said, adding that it's too early to make any decisions about the next Halo in that regard.

Put simply, Spencer is "pleased with the results" of releasing those aforementioned games on Sony and Nintendo hardware, so any Xbox-owned franchise could wind up on PlayStation in the future.

Rumours about which games are coming up next have been doing the rounds in various forms for a while, and Spencer's comment does quash a recent one. A leaker known as eXtas1s claimed that Microsoft had paused its plans for multiplatform releases, and that series such as Halo and Gears of War are "red lines", suggesting they'll stay exclusive. Spencer's wording seems like a direct response to this.

Anyway, it appears any Xbox titles coming to PlayStation are possible. What's top of your wish list to make the leap? Tell us in the comments section below.
