Phil Spencer talks about the absence of Helldivers 2 on Xbox

Today has been full of surprises at the new Xbox event in the form of a podcast, with interesting statements such as four games that will reach other platforms, the fact that Game Pass will never leave the company's environment and even a preview of the next generation. However, this is not all the news that has been distributed in the last 24 hours, since Phil Spencer has spoken in an additional interview about an exclusive PlayStation which also came to the PC.

Within the interview, Spencer has congratulated the launch of helldivers 2making information that suggested they wanted this release on consoles Xboxmentioning on the other hand that he finds no joke in how it could benefit the industry if it is not released for other devices beyond PC. It even suggests that not having launched it on devices of Microsoft It is an idea that could have benefited, since it could have reached a broader market just as happened with games like MLB The Show.

Here what was mentioned:

I will say that when I look at a game like Helldivers 2, and it's a great game, kudos to the team releasing it on PC and PlayStation, I'm not exactly sure who it helps in the industry not being on Xbox. If you try to twist it and say that somehow that benefited someone somewhere.

But I understand it. There is a legacy in console gaming that we will benefit from by distributing games and not putting them elsewhere. We do the same.

Over the next 5 to 10 years, exclusive games – games that are exclusive to a piece of hardware – are going to be a smaller and smaller part of the gaming industry.

This implies that Spencer wanted to have helldivers 2 on the console Xbox Series X/S, After all, they are going to offer four games within the next few days that until now have not been confirmed. Additionally, it seems that PlayStation wants this experience to be more open since it is not a single player, so if we do the math, it would have been a good idea for it to also be added to the device. Microsoft.

Editor's note: It wouldn't have been a bad idea for Helldivers 2 to be released on this console, nothing was happening and maybe people would have given it a good reception. It was also not necessary that they put it on Game Pass, and that they sold it individually in the store as is.
