Exclusive games will no longer be released for consoles

Game makers will be less likely to release exclusives for certain consoles. This was reported by IGN.

Media journalists talked to experts in the gaming industry, who said that game producers began to focus more on making money. In this regard, titles should be released on all platforms, and not exclusively for a specific console.

“The macroeconomic environment will encourage companies to optimize their operations,” said Aphere Analytics analyst Piers Harding-Rolls. It follows from this that market players will be less likely to focus on risky projects. “Gamers expect to be able to play games on a variety of devices,” said Niko analyst Daniel Ahmad, predicting that studios will all but stop releasing exclusives.

According to Harding-Rolls, demand for portable gaming among gamers is growing. This means that new compact consoles may appear in the future. “Running games on PC and porting them to mobile devices is a way to solve the problem,” said Daniel Ahmad.
