Microsoft confirms Rise of the Tomb Raider Xbox exclusivity

4.5
"The recent decision to release the upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider as an Xbox One exclusive alienates the majority of the fan base and will ultimately lead to the demise of the franchise."

For a vocal group of fans it's not just a business move, but a killing blow. Microsoft's claim to Rise of the Tomb Raider, as an Xbox-only game for Holiday 2015, is incurring the sort of backlash and petition-signing flurry (seen above) that's well known to veterans of the infamous console wars. And it's not even the first time a Tomb Raider sequel has been through this – just ask Sega Saturn owners who had to get a PC or PlayStation if they wanted to a keep their streak of unearthed relics.

NBC Never played tomb raider but it looks fun.


Tomb Raider is fun and has replay value. Unless your not into those kind of games.

Seems like they're just trying to make money off it being an exclusive, but it will be all platforms eventually..

This brought back some fun memories of when I played the first one on PC. Hopefully they will release this on PC at some point. I'd love to purchase it.

Pretty stupid if you ask me. Tomb raider originated on playstation and was exclusive to it for verrrry long, so if anything it should be a playstation exclusive, not an xbox exclusive.
Oh microsoft..
