Microsoft CEO ‘committed to meeting players where they are’
While it already had a strong foothold on rival platforms thanks to perennial best-sellers Call of Duty and Minecraft, Xbox recently announced plans to bring more first-party games to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, starting with Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves and Grounded.
And during Microsoft’s third quarter earnings call on Thursday, CEO Satya Nadella said Xbox games have been performing strongly on the PlayStation Store.
“Earlier this month, we had seven games among the top 25 on the PlayStation Store, more than any other publisher,” he said.
Nadella appeared to be referencing a recent report from Tweaktown, which found that Xbox had more first-party games among the PlayStation Store’s 25 best-selling titles than Sony did.
On PS5 on April 18, these were Modern Warfare 3 at No.2, Overwatch 2 at No.7, Sea of Thieves at No.12, Fallout 4 at No.16, Minecraft at No.19, Fallout 76 at No.20 and Grounded at No.23.
In comparison, five Sony-published games made the list. They were MLB The Show 24, Destiny 2, and a trio of titles developed by third-party studios in Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin.
It’s worth noting that PlayStation Store rankings are updated daily and based on region.
“We are committed to meeting players where they are by bringing great games to more people on more devices”, Nadella said on Thursday.
Activision Blizzard helped drive Microsoft’s gaming division to a record third quarter, despite a significant decline in Xbox hardware sales.

the players want those games on better devices, which xbox is not
even microsoft knows the xbox is not what it used to be,
hence the reason why they are willing to put more
"xbox" games onto other devices like PS5
