I think this will be similar to the Minecraft thing where they are still mostly multi-platform or timed exclusive. Microsoft will just eat off the publishing of selling it on a sony console instead. Also exclusive features on xbox.

This also explains why Microsoft didn’t buy bungie or wb games
I think there will be timed release on Xbox + PC though or we might see some permanent exclusives
Gamepass day one w/ new titles is very lucrative

Sony has one more showcase planned for PS5. Although, I think if they had a secret weapon they would have pulled it out before pre-orders.

It’s kind of amazing how news of this stature wasn’t leaked or hinted at all.

I think smaller games will go exclusive, something like prey or avowed. I think the big elder scrolls/fallout/doom will stay multi-platform. Starfield could be a big exclusive seller though if they go that route.

People forget mass effect started exclusive on xbox also
