Både Microsoft og Sony har en række aftaler med spiludviklere og deres kommende spil.
Microsoft har fået eksklusive aftaler med blandt andet Ubisoft og deres kommende Assassin's Creed Origins, og Monolith's Middle-earth: Shadow of War, men Spencer har gjort det klart, at Xbox One-spillere altså ikke får eksklusivt eller tidseksklusivt indhold i forhold til PlayStation 4-spillere, da det er en strategi han ganske enkelt ikke bryder sig om:
"I don't know what deals get written. I've been pretty open about, I'm not a fan of doing deals that hold back specific pieces of content from other platforms. You don't see that in the deals we've done with Assassin's and Shadow. We'll have a marketing deal on those, but I don't say, hey, I need some kind of Strike or skin somebody else can't play.
Sony har blandt andet aftaler med Activision og Call of Duty: WWII samt Destiny 2, hvor der vil være eksklusivt samt tidseksklusivt indhold for PlayStation 4-ejere:
I don't think it's good for our industry if we got into a point where people are holding back the technical innovation of game developers based on a marketing deal. I don't know anything about what's in other people's deals. But this, clearly, from a technical perspective, is the most powerful console by quite a wide margin. So, when I stood on-stage and I said this will be the best place to play all those games, there's nothing technically that would keep any developer from not making that true."
I forrige generation havde Microsoft eksklusive aftaler med Activision omkring deres Call of Duty-serie, hvor Xbox 360-ejere fik DLC-indhold før de andre platforme.
