Commenting on the company’s financial results, the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadellaalso mentioned what the new one has achieved Cross-platform strategy for Xbox games on PS5 and Nintendo Switchdemonstrating a certain satisfaction and communicating how 7 titles from the division are in the top 25 of PlayStation Store.
“Finally, we are expanding our games to new platforms, bringing four of our most popular titles to Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation for the first time,” Nadella reported on the sidelines of the company’s financial results conference.
“In fact, in recent days we have had 7 games in the top 25 of the PlayStation Store, more than any other publisher has done,” reported the head of Microsoft, demonstrating a certain satisfaction for the results obtained from the strategy.
A strategy destined to continue?
In recent days we had actually seen how five of the ten most pre-ordered games on the PlayStation Store were first Xbox games, which subsequently further expanded to 7 titles, probably due to the flashback on the Fallout series.
The question suggests that the initiative is intended to continueperhaps involving other games in this shift to other platforms: “We are committed to meeting players wherever they are, bringing our games to more people and on more devices,” Nadella reported in the comments.
In this case the issue seems more linked to the use of streaming games, given the correspondence with the data on hours and the quantity of “record” active users recorded in this period by Microsoft.
Elsewhere, we saw that third-quarter results showed notable growth in the Xbox gaming division, still largely driven by the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and a big drop in hardware sales, which could further push the strategy multiplatform for other titles, in addition to the already launched Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment and Grounded.
