Xbox asks developers why they’d rather launch on PlayStation than the Series X|S

BOTH Xbox and PlayStation fans like to tell each other that there are no games on their consoles.

However, it appears that Xbox is trying to change it with its latest survey.

Xbox came under fire from its fan base when it announced that some of its smaller exclusive games would be available on other platforms.

Grounded, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush and As Dusk Falls all became available on PS5 or Nintendo Switch.

However, these weren’t the games that upset Xbox players the most, as a bigger announcement was made during the Xbox showcase.

Xbox revealed that its biggest release of 2024, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, would come to PS5 early next year.

Aside from the Xbox exclusives coming to other platforms, there are concerns that not enough third-party games land on Xbox.

Some of the biggest games, such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Enotria: The Last Song, and Black Myth: Wukong, saw delays.

Many claim that this is due to Xbox’s insistence that games work on both the powerful Series X and the budget Series S.

It appears that Xbox wants to get to the bottom of this issue as there is a new survey for game developers.

The company is expanding its Xbox Research team to include a number of game developers.

Xbox is seeking feedback from developers to see what tools and software it can introduce to increase the number of games on its consoles.

It is also asking developers why they aren’t creating games for Xbox, and what could change to encourage them to do so.

Principal user researcher for Xbox, Deborah Hendersen, has been asking developers why they work with Sony and Nintendo but not Xbox.

They ask: “If you aren’t on Xbox, we’d love to know why.

“And honestly, if you are using our competitor’s products, you probably have a great perspective we could learn from!”

Xbox hasn’t revealed the information it has got back from developers and it likely won’t release the data.

But it’s interesting to see that Xbox is working to encourage more developers to make games for its platform.
