In an unprecedented move, Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, announced that Microsoft will feature PlayStation and Nintendo logos in its future broadcasts and events. This decision aims to clearly indicate the platforms on which its games will be available. This marks a significant shift in Microsoft's strategy as it appears to be expanding beyond traditional exclusives.



Spencer explained in an interview with XboxEra that the decision came after extensive internal discussions. The company wants its audience to be fully aware of the platforms on which its games will be released. Starting from the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase event, logos of different platforms, including PS5 and Nintendo Switch, will be displayed when announcing new games.



The significance of this announcement is further highlighted by the confirmation that major titles such as Forza Horizon 5 and Age of Empires will be available on PS5 in the coming months, along with strong rumors about popular titles like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Gears of War, and Hellblade II coming to Sony's platforms.



Microsoft's new strategy seems to be based on a gradual approach, starting with less significant games on competing platforms and progressively moving to more popular titles. This step is not only aimed at expanding the Xbox player base but also at enhancing the Game Pass service and spreading the Xbox brand across all possible devices.



The key question now is whether this move will change the future of competition in the gaming world and whether we will see greater collaboration between gaming giants after years of fierce rivalry. The coming days will reveal the answer.
