Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella recently shared in his annual letter to shareholders the company’s plans to expand its gaming content to new platforms. In particular, he mentioned how Microsoft has brought four fan-favorite titles to the Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation for the first time. These titles include Pentiment and Grounded for the Switch, and Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves for the PS5.
Nadella emphasized Microsoft’s commitment to bringing great games to more people on more devices, stating that the company will continue to innovate to offer players more ways to experience the games they love. With a 10-year deal in place, Nintendo fans can expect to see Microsoft-owned IP like Call of Duty on their platform in the future.
Additionally, series like Doom, including the upcoming release Doom: The Dark Ages, will continue to be available across multiple platforms. Microsoft has indicated that future platform exclusives will be decided on a case-by-case basis. However, there are rumors that original Xbox series like Halo may remain exclusive to Microsoft’s platforms.
As Microsoft expands its gaming content to new platforms, it raises the question of what other games players would like to see available. With the company’s focus on offering players more choice in where, when, and how they play, the possibilities for future releases are exciting.
In light of these developments, it will be interesting to see how Microsoft’s gaming division Xbox continues to evolve and adapt to the changing landscape of the gaming industry. With a strong lineup of titles and a commitment to innovation, Microsoft is poised to continue offering players diverse and engaging gaming experiences across a variety of platforms.
