NEW YORK (AP) — Several exclusive Xbox games will be soon making their way to rival consoles, the video gaming brand and its parent company, Microsoft, announced Thursday.
In a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer confirmed that four Xbox games will no longer be exclusive.
Microsoft has already been moving away from this through its “Game Pass” subscription service that works something like a Netflix for video games.
The tech giant's recent acquisition of video game maker Activision Blizzard allows that service to grow even further.
On Thursday, Xbox President Sarah Bond announced that the first Activision Blizzard game on Xbox Game Pass will be Diablo IV, starting March 28.
