MArvel\u2019s Spider-Man on Xbox is \u201cVery Unlikely\u201d According to Insomniac Games<\/p>\n
Over the last year or two, gamers have seen a major shift in how first-party exclusives are handled. Xbox is now releasing some of its biggest games cross platform at launch or shortly after and many of the most iconic PlayStation franchises are getting PC ports. Although there hasn\u2019t been a ton of Sony games making their way to the Xbox console ecosystem yet, that certainly seems to be the direction the industry is trending.<\/p>\n
An Insomniac Games fan recently asked the developer about the chances of 2018\u2019s Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man making its way to Xbox consoles and the developer still seems to feel like it is not going to happen.<\/p>\n
The response to the question was a simple \u201cNot likely,\u201d which doesn\u2019t leave too much room for hope. That said, gamers should keep in mind that back when Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man was getting ready to launch, Insomniac also definitely said that the game will never appear on Xbox or PC. Five years later the game did have a PC launch in 2022, so nothing is impossible.<\/p>\n
Microsoft versus Sony\u2019s cross-platform release strategies<\/p>\n

Although Sony seems to be making a lot of extra revenue by expanding its marketshare with PC releases, the company still seems hesitant to release its biggest first-party titles on a competing console and potentially risk cannibalizing Sony\u2019s own hardware sales.<\/p>\n
While Microsoft has been more open about bringing titles like Sea of Thieves or Indiana Jones to other platforms, Sony\u2019s strategy remains much more conservative. Most recently, Microsoft has even brought Gears of War to PlayStation and announced a Halo releasing port for the Sony console for the first-time, which seems to indicate that no Xbox property is off-limits for cross-platform releases at this point.<\/p>\n
Insomniac\u2019s next big adventure, Wolverine, is expected to launch exclusively on PS5 and PS5 Pro later this year. At the moment, it seems likely that PlayStation will try to keep that game exclusive to PS5, as well. Players will have to wait and see if a PC port is announced sometime after launch.<\/p>\n
Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man is available now on PC, PS4, and PS5. Wolverine releases in fall 2026 for PS5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A lot has changed in the world of console exclusivity since the 2018 launch of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man.
