Unfortunately, it does not appear the game will be headed to the Microsoft platform any time soon. Speaking with IGN, Xbox head Phil Spencer explained this is due to business and platform exclusivity."It's business," he said, adding he couldn't speak too candidly about the matter. "As I've grow in this role, and I've tried to learn the third-party exclusivity thing - and you see us doing less of it now - [I've found] it's not something I'm a huge fan of."Spencer cites that he likes to bring different aspects of a game to the Xbox One instead of deal with third-party exclusive titles, citing the Fallout 4 mods coming to the platform and how Microsoft worked with EA to get EA Access. He notes a different situation with Rise of the Tomb Raider, however, since Microsoft is playing an active role in its development and publishing.But in the case of third parties, Spencer claims business deals change things and create platform-specific exclusives."Different kind of deals happen, and I know that's part of this busienss, and maybe it'll be my failing in the end," he says, laughing. "But it's not something I specifically embrace with any deal that's out there, whether it's something else. It's just not something I can explicitly talk to."This year saw the release of the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion Heavensward, which you can read more about in IGN's official review
