However, according to Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft's gaming division, this PC-only approach is just a temporary "anomaly." In an interview with Game File, Spencer made it clear that the company's goal is to have their games playable across as many platforms as possible under the Xbox umbrella – whether that's consoles, PC, or cloud streaming.
"We want to get to the point where, when you buy, whether you're buying on cloud – which we're getting ready to introduce – buying on PC and buying on console, you own it across all of the Xbox ecosystem," said Spencer.
