Microsoft Investigates Why Game Developers Choose PS5 Over Xbox

Microsoft has launched an investigation to understand why game developers are prioritizing the PS5 over Xbox. The tech giant aims to bridge the gap with developers, focusing on the specific reasons behind this shift and seeking feedback to improve their platform’s appeal.

Developers Speak Out on Xbox Challenges

The delay of games like Baldur’s Gate 3 due to Xbox Series S limitations, as well as challenges from studios like the team behind Enotria: The Last Song, have highlighted frustrations in working with Xbox. According to a recent blog post, Microsoft is determined to understand these issues and work towards solutions. Dr. Deborah Hendersen, Xbox’s principal user researcher, expressed this sentiment by stating, “If you aren’t on Xbox, we’d love to know why… if you are using our competitor’s products, you probably have a great perspective we could learn from!”

Microsoft is actively listening to studios that are not currently releasing games on their platform, hoping to gain insights into how they can improve relationships and support development teams better. This outreach is viewed as a step toward building a stronger ecosystem for both developers and gamers alike.

This decision has got gamers talking about what Microsoft might do to close the gap with Sony in the ongoing console battle. Fans are curious about how these changes could shape the future of gaming on Xbox and whether it will help them compete more with the PS5.
