In a recent Microsoft third quarter earnings call, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated that the recently released Xbox first party titles have been performing well on the PlayStation Store. “Earlier this month, we had seven games among the top 25 on the PlayStation Store,” he said, “more than any other publisher”. He also added that the company is “committed to meeting players where they are by bringing great games to more people on more devices”. According to a recent Tweakdown report, several Microsoft titles were among the top twenty three games on the store including Sea of Thieves at number 12, Grounded at number 23, Minecraft at number 19, and Modern Warfare at 3.
