STALKER 2 Is a 3-Month Console Exclusive; Microsoft Considered Increasing Revenue Share for Xbox Games, Too [UPDATED]
[UPDATE 2] A new statement was issued by Microsoft on the matter:
We will not be updating the revenue split for console publishers.
This suggests the company has backtracked entirely on its original plans.
[UPDATE] A Microsoft spokesperson told The Verge that there are no plans to change the revenue share for the Xbox store at this time .
Needless to say, the specific wording leaves Microsoft free to change this in the near future. The document from earlier this year clearly mentions the plan was there only a short while ago, and it s hard to imagine it was scrapped entirely. It is more likely that Microsoft is waiting to drop that announcement at a later date, such as E3 2021, for example.
