Exec says Xbox is “the only platform shipping games on console, PC and cloud simultaneously”.

For several years Microsoft has released its Xbox Games Studios titles simultaneously on PC and console platforms.

“So right now, we are the only platform shipping games on console, PC and cloud simultaneously,” Spencer said in a video presentation.

“Others bring console games to PC years later, not only making people buy their hardware up front, but then charging them a second time to play on PC.

“Looking forward, we see continued growth on PC next year though another amazing slate of Xbox Game Studios games and Bethesda games coming to PC, while at the same time, Game Pass on PC will be a critical part of our Windows gaming strategy.

However, currently Days Gone, Predator: Hunting Grounds and Helldivers are the only other PlayStation PC titles available for purchase on Steam, while Uncharted 4 – another title released on console several years ago – is also expected to arrive in the near future.
