Microsoft will bring four first-party titles to PS5, but it’s refusing to name which. Said titles will not include Starfield and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which will remain exclusive to Xbox and PC, until circumstances change. Xbox bigwig Phil Spencer, however, has seen the success of Helldivers 2 – and is struggling to see the advantage of the PlayStation-published shooter not being available on Xbox.

Xbox head Phil Spencer reportedly told employees that Microsoft isn't planning to stop making consoles.
Games journalist Shannon Liao shared in her weekly industry newsletter on Substack on Friday that Xbox allegedly held an internal company townhall last Tuesday, during which Spencer clarified that Xboxes would continue to be part of the company's strategy alongside other devices.
GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to Xbox for clarification.
Last week, it was reported that Microsoft may be considering bringing first-party titles such as Starfield and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to other consoles.
In response, Spencer announced on social media that a "business update" was planned for this week during which the "vision for the future of Xbox" would be shared.
