Activision Isn’t Planning Any Exclusives for PS4 or Xbox One

June 21, 2013 by Stephen Daly

EA adds ‘we are not tilting one way or the other’ on next-gen.

While Acitvision gives Xbox players early access to Call of Duty content and Bungie's Destiny will have exclusive content on PlayStation platforms the company is not planning to make any exclusive games for PS4 or Xbox One CEO Eric Hirshberg has told IGN.

"As much as I'm sure the first parties would love to have some of our games exclusively, we want to be wherever gamers are," Hirshberg commented.

The executive notes that despite the timed Call of Duty DLC for Xbox the game is equally popular on PS3.

"It helps us launch the games. It helps us amplify our marketing messages and get word out to a larger audience," he said of working with the platform holders.

"Getting the first parties to participate in that process is very helpful. Us giving them meaningful exclusive content or time advantages helps them have something to market to their community as well. It's a mutually beneficial relationship in both of the cases that you mentioned. But it's important to note that they're not exclusive relationships. Activision has historically been a platform agnostic company."

IGN also spoke to EA's Frank Gibeau concerning next-gen exclusives and despite announcing a number of Xbox exclusives at E3, including Titanfall, Gibeau says "Over the long term, you'll see exclusives on both sides on a tactical level. But strategically, we are not tilting one way or the other. We want to see both of these platforms compete. We think they're very highly differentiated. They offer customers very different experiences and options.

"If you look at the history of our company over the last 31 years, we've supported just about everything if there's an audience," Gibeau added.

Titanfall's developer, Respawn, has commented that the possibility of the game coming to PlayStation is "definitely not out of the question."
