Microsoft expected to detail Xbox games on PlayStation, Nintendo in podcast this Thursday

Exactly how far Microsoft will go with launching its games on rival platforms was always unclear - and it will be fascinating to see how much it feels like these nascent plans have changed again following the leaks. On the one hand, a push towards launching some titles on other platforms makes sense - games like Hi-Fi Rush will find a fresh audience and more appreciation, live services like Sea of Thieves will benefit from a wave of new players, and Microsoft will of course gain a rush of extra revenue from Sony fans having to pay full whack for Microsoft first-party titles without the benefits of Game Pass. After splashing $67.8bn on Activision Blizzard and then immediately cutting 1900 jobs, it's clear there's a great deal of focus right now within Microsoft on Xbox's bottom line.
