"Enjoyed being onstage with Yoshi-P and Kiryu-san to announce Final Fantasy XIV coming to Xbox. We're thrilled that the Xbox community will join the Warriors of Light and we look forward to partnering closely with Square Enix on future games," Spencer wrote.
A number of Square Enix games have recently skipped Xbox, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, which released on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Some Final Fantasy games have also ended up as timed PlayStation exclusives, including Final Fantasy VII: Remake and Final Fantasy XVI. It will be interesting to see if the Xbox platform ends up playing host to some of these games, or if Microsoft lands some timed exclusives of its own. Microsoft has traditionally avoided these types of exclusives, but it's possible that could change. Either way, Xbox users should be excited by the prospect of more Square Enix games arriving on the system.
While Final Fantasy is the franchise most closely associated with Square Enix, the publisher also owns several others, most notably Dragon Quest, as well as games like Chrono Trigger, Parasite Eve, and Xenogears, to name a few. Whether we'll start to see some of these titles added to the Microsoft Store, or even Xbox Game Pass, remains to be seen. Square Enix did offer a lot of support for Game Pass in the past, so maybe we'll start to see more games added to the service! For now, Xbox fans will just have to wait and see.
