‘The fall of Xbox has begun’ as fans shun their consoles after exclusive games are scrapped

Xbox-exclusive games making their way to other platforms

Xbox recently shocked fans by announcing that some previously Xbox-exclusive games would be available on other platforms. While PlayStation and Xbox often port games to PC, a rivalry between the two typically prevents their games from appearing on other platforms.

Former Xbox exclusives heading to PlayStation and Nintendo

During the Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that former Xbox exclusives like Pentiment and Grounded would be coming to Nintendo Switch. Following this, more announcements clarified that these games would also be available on PS4 and PS5. Additionally, Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves, previously exclusive to Xbox, are now coming to PS5.

Outrage and mixed reactions from Xbox fans

Xbox fans expressed outrage on social media over these announcements, with some feeling that this marked the decline of Xbox. Many criticized the lack of reciprocity, as PlayStation and Nintendo exclusives are not being made available on Xbox.

Positive responses and Xbox's stance

Despite the backlash, some have welcomed the news, seeing it as a positive move for Xbox. Xbox responded by emphasizing that the biggest games will be available across multiple platforms.
