    I would have purchased it by now if I could get it on the xbox. I could be wrong, but it seems the Xbox gets the short stick a lot this generation. Switch and playstation seem to be given for a games release but it’s always a toss up if the Xbox will be included.

    I wish it was less intensive for devs to make their games multiplatform. I hope with their recent announcement fir more Xbox support we’ll get ff7 remake and ff16 in due time

      Xbox isn’t popular in Japan at all, and there’s the issue gamepass cannibalizing sales. Makes it a hard sell for Japanese studios for sure.

      But in this case it’s because sony gave them a bucket of money. Microsoft isn’t really the place you want to be to support multiplatform games though, literally anywhere else is better, Microsoft is spending near a hundred billion dollars just to remove games from other people’s stores
