Whether you like it or not, Xbox is shifting its strategy this generation. The biggest tell is it releasing Xbox exclusives on other platforms, and the company's latest earnings call strongly suggests there's more to come considering how well its newest games have been selling on PlayStation.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella headed up an Xbox earnings call this week during which he covered all the key points from its Q3 FY2025, a period that covers the first quarter of the calendar year, so January 1 through March 31. Among the more notable wins highlighted was the reveal that Xbox was the top pre-order publisher during that period not only on its own store, but on the PlayStation Store too (via Tom Warren).

"We ended the quarter as the top publisher by pre-orders and pre-installs on both Xbox and the PlayStation Store," Nadella noted. The finer details on how exactly that happened weren't revealed, but there are three Xbox-published games, two of which have now launched, that you can point to for being responsible for Xbox already enjoying so much success on PS5.
