‘Exclusives Are Absolutely Not Happening’: Xbox Helix Will Share Library with PS6

by

Conflicting statements from Microsoft have led to renewed questions about whether they will keep launching their games on PlayStation consoles.

Following comments from CEO Asha Sharma, there’s renewed discussion about whether Xbox might start making games only for its own consoles, as more details about Xbox Helix are expected to be revealed at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) this week.

So, I was reading around on NeoGAF, and this user named SneakersSO – they’re usually really on top of what Xbox is doing – just said there’s absolutely no chance of any exclusive games happening. It’s pretty definitive, according to them!

A tech insider has been discussing Microsoft’s new device, describing it as a home console-style version of the ROG Ally X handheld gaming PC. They’ve indicated it’s not intended for a wide range of consumers.

There was recent talk that the new console might cost up to $1,200, but it’s now expected to be much more affordable than that.

Recent comments from the new CEO of Xbox have fueled discussions about the possibility of exclusive games. She responded to a fan on X (formerly Twitter) who asked the company to consider making games only available on Xbox, simply writing “hear you,” suggesting the idea is being considered.

Recently, people have been paying closer attention to the company’s plans, especially with rumors about Sony’s approach to PC gaming. It appears PlayStation is planning to make its single-player games exclusive to its consoles, which makes Microsoft’s strategy look quite different in comparison.

However, these companies have distinct goals and face very different circumstances.

The PlayStation 5 is expected to surpass 100 million units sold, but the Xbox Series X|S hasn’t performed as well. Additionally, Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription service has significantly reduced the number of full-price game purchases within its own gaming network.

Big games like Halo: Campaign Evolved and Fable are coming to PlayStation 5 this year, and there’s strong talk that Starfield will be released soon too. It’s going to be difficult for Microsoft to regain control of the situation now that these games are expanding to rival platforms.
