PlayStation's Helldivers 2 Exclusivity Questioned by Phil Spencer for Limiting Reach
- Helldivers 2 is exclusive to PlayStation and PC, not on Xbox, which Phil Spencer questions as limiting its reach and who that benefits
- Microsoft bringing some exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Grounded to PlayStation, but not yet others like Halo Infinite multiplayer
- When Sony acquired Bungie, stipulated future Bungie games stay multiplatform, but Sony exclusives like Helldivers 2 are not
- As more live service games emerge, likely to see more titles shared across platforms for wider audiences and revenue sources
- Helldivers 2 exclusivity seen as a "win" for PlayStation's portfolio, but questionable if that's better for the game itself
