'The fall of Xbox has begun' fans are avoiding consoles after exclusive games disappear
XBOX recently surprised players by announcing that a number of previously exclusive Xbox games would be coming to other platforms.
Although both PlayStation and Xbox often port games to PC, there is a rivalry between the two that usually keeps their games from coming to other platforms.
Companies often fight for exclusive games in hopes of encouraging gamers to buy their consoles.
During the Nintendo Direct, it was announced that former Xbox exclusives Pentiment and Grounded would be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
This opened the floodgates for a number of other announcements clarifying that both games would also be coming to PS4 and PS5.
Two more previously Xbox exclusive games have been revealed for PlayStation, as Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves come to PS5.
Xbox fans were outraged by the announcement and shared their grievances on social media.
One person wrote: “The fall of Xbox has begun. Goodbye, it's been a good ride.
Another said: “This is a slap in the face. There's no other way to say it. Makes you question every exclusive development.”
The main issue Xbox players seem to have is that PlayStation and Nintendo exclusives aren't being ported to Xbox in return.
Someone wrote: “Really Xbox? So when can I expect to thrive on some Zelda and God of War on Series X?
There are no announcements about PlayStation and Nintendo games being available on other consoles.
Despite the negativity, a number of people have responded positively to the news, saying this is a win for Xbox.
Replying to a message that reads: “The days of exclusivity must come to an end.
“Gaming is a better place when we can all play any game on any platform.”
Xbox said: “The biggest games will be more than just one platform.”
