Phil Spencer says Sony uses revenue from Microsoft-owned games for exclusivity deals:
have bubbled to the surface. Now, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has suggested that Sony uses revenue from Xbox games on PlayStation to block third-party games coming to Xbox.Xbox Game Studios has grown considerably in recent years, thanks to Microsoft acquiring a number of studios and publishers, such as Mojang and Bethesda. This has led to many Microsoft-owned games remaining on PlayStation consoles, which Microsoft has continued to support instead of pulling them as Xbox exclusives.
During the FTC trial, the Xbox boss was asked about Microsoft's feelings when releasing games on PlayStation, to which Spencer replied:"PlayStation uses the money they make off of Xbox Games on PS5 to pay for other games to block on the Xbox platform" .
