Xbox exclusives are back and more complicated than ever
The Verge·June 8, 2026
Microsoft's decision to bring Xbox-exclusive games to other platforms has led to confusion among fans and investors. The company initially refused to disclose which games would be made available on the PS5 and Nintendo Switch, but later revealed that titles such as Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves would be included. In contrast, Microsoft was quick to deny rumors that highly anticipated games like Starfield and Indiana Jones would be released on the PS5. The situation has become increasingly complicated as Microsoft attempts to balance the interests of its fans with its own financial goals.
