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.

DeluxeHazard It's not going to stay Xbox exclusive, it will just come to the Xbox first before other consoles, like COD DLC.


No. The exclusive title means that Xbox will be the ONLY console to get this game. If other consoles get it, then they will be sued for false advertising and they will lose.


lol.. Dead Rising 3 was "supposedly" going to be an xbox exclusive, look what happened with that.
it's a console exclusive.... Microsoft puts most of its titles on PC, why not? They're only competing with Sony so that's all that matters
