Despite all the previous dementia, it seems that the sci-fi epic Starfield could still find the way to the PS5. This is suggested by new statements by Xbox boss Phil Spencer.
Since Microsoft proclaimed its new multi-platform strategy at the beginning of last year, it is eagerly speculated which first party games will no longer be available Xbox-exclusive and also on competing platforms such as Sony's PlayStation 5. Last year there were reports from the rumor mill, according to which Bethesdas Sci-Fi-Epos Starfield will also be among the future PS5 games. Xbox boss Phil Spencer had denied this last year, but in the meantime a rethink seems to have been used in this regard.
In conversation with Design Legarie via Patreon, the whole topic now sounds significantly different; The gemen situation seems to have changed. With regard to the Xbox exclusivity of Starfield, Legarie asked: "Can you underline that Starfield stays where it is until further notice?" Spencers brief answer: "No!"
Then Phil Spencer continued: "There is no specific game that I would say about ... that goes back to my Red-line response. There is no reason for me to build a ring fence and to build and To say that this game does not appear in a different place where players can find it and have business success for us. "
The game pass is an "important component" for Microsoft Xbox when it comes to playing games on your own platform, but: "Keeping games away from other platforms is not a way for us," said Spencer.
Last year, Xboxera reported that Microsoft was planning the release of Starfield on PlayStation 5, which the Xbox team still denied at the time. The new statements of Spencer now allow less freedom of interpretation that this will ultimately happen. Did Microsoft only decide that now or had this decision already made at the time? We will of course keep you up to date with the further developments!
