@Kaloudz, agreed, but at least that's something you see coming. What's imo more annoying are games (looking at you Forza Horizon 5) that inform you about a big update just when you have an hour at the end of the day to play. And of course you can't play without the update.
@Kaloudz, was the same with Hot Wheels when it dropped on GamePass. Two versions in the mobile app, the one with Windows in the name got installed on my console (and obviously worked just fine).
@themightyant, nope, it seems like they have contracts in place that have been signed. So not "just words". But of course, we don't know what the contracts actually say.
What exclusivity deal? Nintendo owns Astral Chain and finances the development of Bayonetta.
Both Sol Cresta and The Wonderful 101 were released on other platforms as Switch too. Both are on PC. Shouldn't be that difficult to port them to XBox.
Of course XBox doesn't get Astral Chain and Bayonetta 3, why would it? Astral Chain was developed together with Nintendo and now the IP even belongs 100% to Nintendo. While the Bayonetta IP belongs to Sega, 2+3 only exist because of Nintendo.
But they definitely could've released The Wonderful 101 on XBox too.
XBox was probably not allowed to promote it due to the exclusivity, so not having heard anything until now doesn't really mean anything. I also can't imagine the game just shadow dropping. Microsoft needs every game they can get for the holidays, so everything they can get is better than what they currently have.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Version Of 'Atomic Heart' Gets Huge Day One Update
@Cikajovazmaj, I didn't look into that, but it was a bit confusing and definitely could've been labeled better/clearer.

Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Explains How Call Of Duty Will Work On Nintendo
Really clever move on Microsoft's side. Show's good will, calls out Sony on their bs and will give them additional revenue.
Doubt they games would be cloud versions of the actual games. CoD is also on mobile platforms, so Switch won't be an issue.
Re: Todd Howard On Starfield's Xbox Exclusivity: 'It's Just Awesome'
I mean, what else do you want him to say? It's horrible and the game will look awful?
And of course it's "easier"/better when you can focus on less platforms (from a developer's point of view).

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Anniversary Update Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Feffster, @FcnBlanc, October 13 (aka tomorrow when the next festival playlist goes live). November 13 is wrong (plus, it's not a Thursday this year).
