Just in case you missed it, it’s been claimed (but not officially confirmed) that Microsoft is considering releasing certain Xbox-exclusive games likeHi-Fi Rush,Sea of Thieves,Starfield,and even the upcomingIndiana Jones and the Great Circleon PlayStation.
XboxErahas alleged that, according to its sources,Starfieldis planned to release onPlayStation 5at some point after itsShattered SpaceDLC releases. Meanwhile,The Vergecited an anonymous source which reportedly claimed that theIndiana Jonesgame may have a relatively short exclusivity period onXbox Series X|S and PC, and potentially arrive on PS5 several months after its initial launch.
Again, none of these rumors have been officially verified by Xbox or Microsoft at the time of writing - we’ll just have to see what’s revealed during next week’s business update event. The company has not yet confirmed what date or time this event will occur.
It’s safe to say that 2024 has been rather busy for Xbox so far. Less than three weeks ago, the company hosted its first Developer_Direct event of the year, unveiling the first in-game footage forIndiana Jones and the Great Circle, along with deeper looks at otherupcoming gameslikeAvowedandVisions of Mana.
