Microsoft says it’s taking four unnamed Xbox games “to the other consoles”

After weeks of rumors regarding its strategy regarding Xbox console exclusives, Microsoft announced today that it is "going to take four games to the other consoles." But the company stopped short of announcing what those now non-exclusive games would be, but said that neither Starfield nor Bethesda's upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle would be appearing on other consoles.

"The teams that are building those [multi-platform] games have announce plans that are not too far away," Xbox chief Phil Spencer said, "but I think when they come out, it'll make sense."

The move, announced in an "Updates on the Xbox Business" podcast video does not represent "a change to our fundamental exclusive strategy," Spencer said. "We're making these decisions for some specific reasons," he added, citing "the long-term health of Xbox and a desire to "use what some of the other platforms have right now to help grow our franchises."
