Partner Up for More Third-Party Exclusives
The Xbox One has some exciting exclusive titles coming up this year, there’s no doubt about it. Scalebound will have players join forces with a dragon to save the world, Sea of Thieves will let us sail the seas in search of treasure, and Crackdown 3 is set to bring more futuristic law enforcement fun. Yet, while fans are certainly excited to finally jump into these games in 2017, they’ll be wanting something to play while they wait.
This is where Microsoft has a bit of an issue currently. While it has the general third-party titles coming to all platforms, it doesn’t have quite as extensive of a lineup of exclusive third-party titles as it may have hoped. Though it has the likes of Scalebound and Tacoma already, it could definitely do with adding a few more.
Looking at the Xbox’s 2017 exclusives lineup in isolation so early in the year doesn’t suggest that the console is lacking. After all, Microsoft will likely announce a ton of titles at E3 and throughout the rest of the year. However, when you stand it next to the PS4’s exclusives lineup already confirmed for 2017, the difference is pretty damn huge. If Microsoft wants to further put the pressure on Sony in 2017, third-party exclusives are definitely one way to do exactly that.
