Det er ikke bare Final Fantasy XVI der er PS5-eksklusivt, Square Enix har ligeledes valgt at droppe Xbox i forbindelse med lanceringen af alt fra Forspoken til Octopath Traveler II og Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster-serien.
Så hvordan kan det være? Spørger du Windows Centrals Jez Corden, så er det fordi at forholdet mellem udgiver Square Enix og Microsoft er ringe, og han insinuerer desuden at det er Microsoft der er den primære grund.
"Increasingly, I've been hearing rumors that there is something functionally wrong with the relationship between Microsoft and Square Enix. Square Enix has only been offering Xbox a very limited selection of titles from its catalog, including games like Stranger's Paradise and DioField Chronicle, neither of which reviewed particularly spectacularly. Despite Octopath Traveller launching on Xbox and even into Xbox Game Pass, the sequel is nowhere to be found, and likely isn't coming. "
Naturligvis er dette bare at kradse i overfladen, og vi ved endnu ikke helt hvad der foregår, men forvent ikke Square Enix-lanceringer på Xbox lige foreløbig.
