No "red line" for game exclusivity between Xbox and PlayStation as Microsoft aims to expand consumer base for revenue growth.
A new report claims that more major Xbox exclusives, such as Halo or Forza could be coming to PlayStation. Recently, Microsoft has experimented with bringing some of its exclusive titles to other consoles, with Sea of Thieves being so popular on PlayStation that it was one of the most pre-ordered titles on its store, and crashed its servers at launch due to such high demand.
According to Windows Central's Jez Corden, with this success, Microsoft is considering continuing this trend with some of its major franchises with a plan codenamed "Latitude". Corden cites Halo, Gears, or Forza as major exclusives that would currently entice players to purchase an Xbox console, but says that Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, with Microsoft's managing director Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins, seeing it as an easy way to generate more revenue over a larger consumer base.
