Microsoft backtracks - Not all future Microsoft published games will come to PC

Microsoft has backtracked on a statement which said that all future Microsoft Published games would be coming to PC.

Previously Microsoft had stated that every new game that is published by Microsoft Games Studios will support Xbox Play Anywhere and be easily accessible on the Windows Store, but now Microsoft has edited their blog post to say that all of the newly published titles from this year's E3 will come to PC.

Below is a copy of Microsoft's original statement as well as a copy of their new edited statement.

With the Xbox Play Anywhere program, you can buy a game once and play on your Windows 10 PC and Xbox One with shared progress, shared game saves and shared achievements.

Every new title published from Microsoft Studios that we showed onstage at E3 this year will support Xbox Play Anywhere and will be easily accessible in the Windows Store.

This is obviously some terrible news for PC gamers, not only because this means that some upcoming games from Microsoft Games Studios will not be coming to PC but because Microsoft has once again decided to muddy their hands with artificial exclusivity and has refused to take a hard stance on how they plan to support PC gaming as a platform.

While Microsoft has been making some positive changes for PC gamers in recent months this kind of backtrack has significant consequences and should have been accompanied by either an apology for the error or at a minimum an explanation.

The future of Microsoft Published games on PC is now uncertain, meaning that Halo 6 and other releases from Microsoft may indeed not be coming to PC after all, which is certainly disappointing given the fact that there is obvious consumer demand for it.

You can join the discussion on Microsoft backtracking on their promise to PC gamers on the OC3D Forums.
