Phil Spencer Questions Benefit of Helldivers 2's PlayStation Exclusivity, Predicts Decline in Platform Exclusives Over Next Decade
-
Phil Spencer said he's "not sure who it helps" that Helldivers 2 isn't on Xbox and only on PlayStation and PC. He understands the legacy of exclusives but questions the benefit.
-
Spencer reflected that platform exclusivity is a shrinking part of the gaming industry.
-
He believes over the next 5-10 years, games that are exclusive to one platform will be a smaller share of the industry.
-
Most games now launch across multiple platforms like consoles, PC, and mobile.
-
Despite Xbox launching games on PlayStation, Spencer does not expect any reciprocal moves from Sony, saying Xbox is doing this for its own business interests.
