Phil Spencer says Microsoft's PC-heavy lineup this year is 'historical' and an 'anomaly', so don't get used to it (www.pcgamer.com)

I think calling this pc heavy is really really generous.

The War Within is an expansion for an MMO, yeah it is pc only, but there is also no expectations for it to be released on console. Maybe WoW will see some port now MS owns it?

Towerborne is coming to Xbox. I am pretty sure the only reason it isn't yet, is because of early access, and the Xbox having stricter rules for pushing updates? It is coming to Xbox, when it isn't a paid beta

And finally, I am surprised Ara didn't get a console launch. A quick search shows one is coming after launch, but no dates or anything outside of sometime after PC.

Outside of the WoW expansion, these are only temporary exclusives, and one of them is early access. I will admit, I actually thought Ara released on Xbox, so was genuinely surprised to find it wasn't(yet).

Wouldn't be surprised if we got a WoW port for consoles at some point. PS4 has FF14 as their main MMO and I don't know if it's even on Xbox

FFXIV released on Xbox earlier this year.

I don't know if Blizzard ever did an official controller interface for WoW though, that will definitely be the first hurdle.

Ah, good to know!

Yeah, idk how well wow would translate to controller, though last time I played Cataclysm had just dropped so idk how it plays anymore
