For nylig kunne vi, og andre, publicere store previews af det kommende Redfall, men den største afsløring kom fra instruktør Harvey Smith, der sagde til IGN at spillet faktisk originalt var under udvikling til PlayStation 5 også, men at Microsoft besluttede at gøre spillet eksklusivt til Xbox.
"There was a change with a capital C. 'No PlayStation 5. Now we're gonna do Game Pass, Xbox, and PC," siger Smith at de fik at vide hos Arkane af Microsoft. Dette blev naturligvis til et argument i den igangværende debat om Microsofts køb af Activision Blizzard, men Microsoft har nu sagt følgende til GameSpot:
"We haven't pulled any games from PlayStation. In fact, we've expanded our footprint of games that we've shipped on Sony's PlayStation since we acquired ZeniMax, and the first two games we shipped after closing were PlayStation 5 exclusives [Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo]. We did the same thing since our closing of Minecraft as we extended the reach of that franchise. All of the games that were available on PlayStation when we acquired ZeniMax in March 2021 are still available on PlayStation, and we have continued to do content updates on PlayStation and PC. We have always said that future decisions on whether to distribute ZeniMax games for other consoles will be made on a case-by-case basis."
Indtil videre er Starfield, Redfall og Hi-Fi Rush alle bekræftede til at være Xbox-konsoleksklusiver. Hvordan det forholder sig efter det vides ikke.
