The US Federal Commerce Fee (FTC) issued an injunction earlier this month to dam Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the events have gone to trial over the identical. Within the cross-examination (by way of IGN), Xbox Recreation Studios head Matt Booty was requested about PlayStation variations of titles like Deathloop, The Outer Worlds and Ghostwire: Tokyo.
Whereas Booty mentioned that Bethesda dedicated to Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo earlier than its acquisition by Microsoft, he was requested whether or not The Outer Worlds 2 can be an Xbox unique. In accordance with Booty, a “choice has not been made”, however Microsoft tends assist established communities for franchises on different platforms (as seen with Minecraft and The Elder Scrolls On-line).
Introduced at E3 2021 for Xbox Collection X/S and PC, the sequel hasn’t acquired any official updates. Booty’s assertion doesn’t verify a PlayStation model, but it surely might launch later with Microsoft’s platforms receiving precedence. As such, with experiences that it allegedly began growth in 2019, it might have been deliberate for PlayStation earlier than the acquisition of Bethesda in 2020.
The priority comes after the FTC pointed to Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda and making a number of titles, like Starfield, unique to Xbox as “highly effective proof” to oppose its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Keep tuned for extra updates because the trial rolls on.
