I still have to wonder how MS will handle BGS. It is easy to argue you don't spend roughly $8 billion to make games on the opposite platform.
But MS has shown this past gen, they aren't afraid to lose exclusives. They've released games on Switch and PS4, when they've felt it made sense.
I think it'd be easy for them to argue for:
- full exclusivity
- full exclusivity unless game pass is more available
- majority exclusivity (big games like TES VI still coming to PS5)
- delayed exclusivity (big games like TES VI coming to PS5 a year later)
All of these are to some extent consistent with how MS has operated this gen.
I'm expecting full exclusivity. But on some level it feels like MS wants to be seen as the good guys who are willing to bend to get players on their side. So I wouldn't be surprised to see at the very least TES VI coming to other platforms.
