While the overarching goal is clear, Duncan admitted that the execution isn’t always uniform. This explains the discrepancy between *Fable* and *Forza Horizon 6*, the latter of which is scheduled for an Xbox and PC launch in May, with the PS5 version following later. “We acknowledge that there are inconsistencies,” he stated. “You’ll see some games on every platform simultaneously and others appearing in stages. We are committed to refining this process and providing more clarity moving forward.”

However, Duncan isn’t ready to promise simultaneous day-one launches for every single title across Xbox and PlayStation. He believes it is vital to “maintain optionality” to ensure that every player receives a polished experience. This includes tailoring each game to leverage the unique features and technical capabilities of the specific hardware.

“If we aren’t in a position to ensure a high-quality launch on a specific platform, we simply won’t do it,” Duncan explained. “Internal discussions often lead to the conclusion that if we can’t do right by those players immediately, it’s better to delay the release. Ultimately, it’s a matter of resources. Teams aren’t infinite, and we want to ensure we do the best possible job for every game on every platform.”
