Moon Studios, the developer behind the Ori games, will focus on PS5 over Xbox for its forthcoming No Rest for the Wicked due to "current market conditions".
What “it” are you referring to here? What is the studio doing that is bad when the roles are reversed?
The article doesn’t get into specifics, but all you have to do is look at the units sold for the consoles to understand why some companies might not bother with Xbox.
„It” is probably a stab in the back, if companies were capable such things. Microsoft published their previous games as Xbox exclusives so it’s safe to assume some kind of relationship existed. Microsoft stabbed lots of their employees in the back recently.
Ah I can see that take, especially after reading the recent quotes from Zenimax employees about how the recent round of playoffs went too.
The CEO also said “we’ll first support the platform that has the most users purely out of resource reasons”. He later says he expects to support all platforms eventually. So as much as I love to hate on Microsoft, this seems like more of the cold calculations of business than a response to a perfcoved slight. Xbox simply is not an attractive platform for anyone not owned by Microsoft to prioritize right now.

Didn’t they buy themselves free from Microsoft?
Microsoft was their publisher only and their new game is being published by Take-Two.
