In a recent LinkedIn letter for company shareholders, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reiterated Microsoft’s plan to release Xbox games on rival platforms. The letter states that the company will continue releasing games for PlayStation and Nintendo platforms. “We brought four of our fan-favorite titles to Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation for the first time, as we continue to extend our content to new platforms,” Nadella wrote.
Earlier this year, Microsoft officially released four Xbox exclusive games to other platforms. These games include Hi-FI Rush, Grounded, Sea of Thieves, and Pentiment. According to Microsoft, “the studios that built these celebrated games have drawn on their multi-platform experience to open the worlds they created to even more players and communities.” Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will launch on December 9 for Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. The game will also launch for PlayStation 5.
