There are no “red lines” with Xbox games coming to other platforms

In the past year we have seen Xbox begin to open the floodgates when it comes to bringing previous system exclusives to PS5 and Switch. While Microsoft’s CEO has shared some mixed messaging with regards to Xbox exclusives, Phil Spencer has now confirmed that there are no “red lines” when it comes to bringing games to PlayStation/Switch.

In an interview conducted by Bloomberg, the head of Xbox Phil Spencer sat down to discuss a range of topics. Alongside the official confirmation that Micorosft are actively working on a portable Xbox handheld, Spencer offered some insight into their current approach regarding exclusives.

According to Spencer, “I do not see sort of red lines in our portfolio that say ‘thou must not,’” though he did add that “It's too early to make any sort of decision on the next version of Halo.”

Red lines Xbox

Of course, following the porting of Sea of Thieves, Pentiment and Grounded, the PS5 is set to get its first proper taste of the Xbox platform’s shifting plans with the upcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – arriving just a few months after its Xbox launch.

As mentioned, the CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella recently claimed that “Growth of our Gaming business is determined by the overall active user base through Xbox enabled content, availability of games, providing exclusive game content that gamers seek;” quite a contrary state of that of Phil Spencer's.

That said, we’ll have to simply chalk it up to inefficiencies in the messaging pipeline due to Microsoft being a massive $3 Trillion company.
