Xbox Has Allegedly Insisted It Won't Stop Making Consoles, As PS5 Port Rumours Mount | Push Square
No one really expects Microsoft to suddenly step out of the hardware race, but it’s been a hellish week for the Redmond firm, where rumours have swirled with reckless abandon. All the way back on Monday – which feels like an eternity ago now – boss Phil Spencer announced it’d share news about its console strategy the following week, without confirming or denying any of the speculation.
So far, several Xbox exclusive titles have been connected to the PS5, including Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Starfield, and more.

Again, exactly what “multiple kinds of devices” actually entails remains unclear until the company comments further. It’s been reported that Microsoft has ordered a significant number of PS5 devkits to support its new multiformat ambitions, but until it tells us which titles we can and cannot expect on PlayStation, it’s all just speculation.

They cant stop making consoles, gamepass is only relevant on the console!
All I can say concerning this whole situation is that you don’t throw around $69 billion without having to, in one way or another, pay the
