From Xbox, Aaron Greenberg, global marketing vice president, shared on social media that “tomorrow will be a victory for all players“, highlighting the historic nature of this agreement. At the same time, the official Xbox account joked that they “will answer the distress call from Super Earth“, in clear reference to the Helldivers 2 universe.
The new multi-platform direction of Xbox and PlayStation
This coincidence of releases not only has symbolic value, but also reinforces the idea that the era of exclusives is changing. With Microsoft and Sony increasingly betting on sharing experiences across different platforms, August 26 will be remembered as a turning point.
The most interesting thing is that everything suggests this is just the beginning. Both Xbox and PlayStation seem determined to experiment with this type of exchange and collaboration, which could transform the way we understand access to major video games in the coming years.
