Godt nok købte Microsoft Bethesda og gjorde Starfield og Redfall til Xbox-eksklusiver, men blandt andet Phil Spencer har sagt fra start af, at de ikke tror på platformeksklusivitet i det lange løb. Det holder han fast i, og foreslår at vi kommer til at se færre og færre indenfor det næste stykke tid.
I et interview med Bloomberg siger Spencer, at spil der udkommer på flere platforme er sundere for branchen helt generelt.
"Maybe you happen in your household to buy an Xbox and I buy a PlayStation and our kids want to play together and they can't because we bought the wrong piece of plastic to plug into our television. We really love to be able to bring more players in reducing friction, making people feel safe, secure when they're playing, allowing them to find their friends, play with their friends, regardless of what device — I think in the long run that is good for this industry. And maybe in the short run, there's some people in some companies that don't love it. But I think as we get over the hump and see where this industry can continue to grow, it proves out to be true."
Blandt andet Call of Duty-serien, og tilsyneladende også det kommende Diablo IV, forbliver på PlayStation-platforme selv efter Microsofts mulige køb af Activision Blizzard.
