A game that the folks over at sister site Push Square have been getting very excited about is upcoming PlayStation exclusive Quantum Error. Little has been revealed about the game so far aside from an announcement teaser trailer, but the PS4 and PS5 title has certainly got people intrigued.
So, why isn't it coming to Xbox? In a new interview with Gaming Bolt, developer TeamKill Media elaborated on this, suggesting "there are many reasons," indicating that it has a great relationship with Sony and feels the game "will run its very best on the PlayStation platform."
However, the developer did also address the Microsoft-related question, refusing to close the door on a future Xbox version by stating "we won't say never." It admitted the focus is very much on the PlayStation version for now though, so it's anyone's guess as to whether we'll ever see this one on Xbox Series X.

Good. Unless you're running a first party studio it'd be beyond foolish to shut the door on taking your game to any platform. If there's a deal in place with Sony for a certain amount of time, it sucks but at least there's a chance the game eventually shows up on Xbox. All that said, we don't even know if the game will be any good. Hopefully it is and hopefully it finds its way to Xbox and Nintendo platforms at some point after the deal with Sony expires.
Timed exclusive??
How exactly could it run "its very best" on the lesser of the two new platforms? It would seem to me that a Quantum Error slipped into that reply of the developer...

That's my understating, from this more-than-a-bit ambiguous comment the developer has made.
@ThanosReXXX
Ask the devs of Ace Combat 7 how they managed that feat. 😤
@ThanosReXXX
Exactly. This sounds like.....
“PlayStation has the biggest install base out there & we have small team, so we’re focusing on the console with the most people. Oh and Sony may have given us $.”
And from what it looks & sounds like, Sony is going to rely on lots of 3rd party exclusive deals to start next-gen. It’s probably because they don’t have much in the way of 1st party support for awhile. Especially with two of their studios still haven’t even launched their PS4 games yet.
@KelticDevil
Sony definitely went to the dev with a nice wad of cash. Doubt install base even factored into it.
