The ongoing will-they-won’t-they story surrounding Xbox and its plans to release some of its games on rival platforms continues apace. After some dubious online scuttlebutt, Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, appears to have inadvertently nullified rumours that this strategy is slowing down.

A leaker who goes by eXtas1s recently claimed that Project Latitude — Xbox’s plan to release first-party titles on Nintendo and Sony platforms — is “paused” or “slowed down”. They claim the reason for this is the sour response to the news that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PS5 shortly after the Xbox release.

However, Nadella, in a wider report about Microsoft’s fiscal year 2024, seems to suggest the company’s approach hasn’t changed. “Finally, we brought four of our fan-favorite titles to Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation for the first time, as we continue to extend our content to new platforms,” he writes, not before stating Microsoft’s intention to bring “great games to more people on more devices”.

The rumour did state Project Latitude hasn’t been outright cancelled, but the pace of releases will allegedly be slower, and that Gears of War and Halo are “red lines” — seemingly saying these series will remain exclusive.

Whatever the case, it looks as though there’s no “pause” on Project Latitude, although it’s unknown when more Xbox titles will migrate to PS5, or which ones. If the strategy is unchanged, as Nadella implies here, we will likely know more in the new year following the arrival of Indiana Jones.
