Sea of ​​Thieves is doing very well on PS5, this is also confirmed by Xbox’s Matt Booty, who stated that Microsoft is “very satisfied” with the game’s performance on Sony’s console.

Microsoft is “very satisfied” with the numbers generated by Sea of ​​Thieves with the launch of the PS5 version, which appears to have had a beneficial effect on other platforms as well. Or at least that’s what Matt Booty, the president of Xbox Studios, said.

In a podcast published by Variety, Booty commented that Microsoft is satisfied with the numbers of the four Xbox games brought to PS5 and Switch in recent months, namely Pentiment, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush and the aforementioned Sea of ​​Thieves . On the latter in particular, you added that Rare has seen an increase in the involvement of Xbox and PC players , and that many PlayStation users have decided to play in cross-play with those of other platforms. In short, a success on multiple fronts.

After these statements, the question asked next is obvious, that is, “does the success of Sea of ​​Thieves mean that we will see other games arrive on PS5 or other consoles? “. Booty’s response in this case was the classic “we will evaluate on a case by case basis”. Furthermore, he added that this does not mean that there will no longer be Xbox exclusives, with many games that will only be launched in the green-cruciate ecosystem and all of them will be available within the PC catalog and Xbox Game Pass.

Phil Spencer, the boss of Microsoft Gaming, also recently had his say on the issue, ensuring that further games will arrive on more platforms outside of Xbox, which in his opinion is a positive element for the franchises involved.
