Helldivers 2has broken many records since its release last month, including being Sony’s biggest hit ever to be released on Steam. However, one of the biggest controversies surrounding the game is how it was not released on Microsoft’s Xbox, despite being made available on other major platforms.The same was talked about by none other than Phil Spencer, Microsoft Gaming’s CEO in an interview viaGameFile, revealing his thoughts about the game’s exclusive release on PlayStation and PC.
Phil Spencer Opens Up AboutHelldivers 2Not Being Made Available On Xbox
Helldivers 2is without a doubt an amazing game, but there are many fans out there who are not able to experience it simply because of its exclusivity to Sony’s platform. This was also addressed by Spencer in the aforementioned interview, as he said:
“I will say, when I look at a game like Helldivers 2 — and it’s a great game, kudos to the team shipping on PC and PlayStation — I’m not exactly sure who it helps in the industry by not being on Xbox”
The CEO of Microsoft Gaming essentially pointed out what fans have been trying to convey for decades now. He disclosed how he feels exclusivity does not benefit the industry and anyone who follows it. While he appreciated the amazing game Sony has created, he fails to understand how is it beneficial to anyone by not launching it on Xbox.
