How Do You Feel About All of the Xbox Multiplatform Rumours? | Push Square

While we use the word 'rumours' in the headline of this article, the reality of the situation is that it really does look like Xbox is making significant changes to its business strategy. Speculation is absolutely rampant at the time of writing, with numerous reports all coming to the same conclusion: Microsoft wants to start putting its biggest Xbox games on PlayStation platforms. That includes the recent releases like Starfield and Hi-Fi Rush, and may well extend to properties that put Xbox on the map, such as Halo and Gears of War.

A previously unthinkable scenario, but the evidence is starting to mount, and Xbox boss Phil Spencer has confirmed that the company will soon share its plans for the brand's future. The simple fact that Microsoft is yet to outright deny any of the rumours is perhaps all the proof that we need in thinking there's truth behind the noise.

I'd be happy to play the Forza games, but to be truthful, other than that they don't have a single exclusive that really interests me.

Which is basically why I sold my Series X

People worry that less competition is bad for the industry but as long as Nintendo is still around to keep Sony on their toes I'd be fine with that

If its officially announced by Microsoft that there putting games on PlayStation my daughter is getting my Series S. Even if its 6 months (or more) after it launches on Xbox I'm happy to wait to play on my preferred platform.

If Microsoft wants to save me from buying one of their consoles, who am I to stop them? Frankly it feels like the move they were always destined to make given how much money they've blown on acquisitions.

I'm waiting for next week before I have my say to be honest.

I would happily drop £60 on each and every Forza game so bring it on.

Who would have known that the disastrous 2013 E3 conference by Don Mattrick set off an irreversible downward spiral to where we are now.
