Microsoft hasn't "pulled any games from PlayStation" following Redfall PS5 reports

Microsoft has responded to claims it pulled games from PlayStation, following reports it didn’t want Bethesda’s Redfall on PS5.

Redfall game designer Harvey Smith told IGN France that after Bethesda’s acquisition by Microsoft, its stance was “no PlayStation 5”. There’s no indication if a PS5 version was in development or just a suggestion.

Now Microsoft has responded, stating “we haven’t pulled any games from PlayStation” and that it has in fact “expanded our footprint of games” after releasing PS5 exclusives Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox.

Here’s the statement to Eurogamer from a Microsoft spokesperson in full: “We haven’t pulled any games from PlayStation. In fact, we’ve expanded our footprint of games that we’ve shipped on Sony’s PlayStation since our acquisition of ZeniMax, and the first two games we shipped after closing were PlayStation 5 exclusives. We did the same thing since our closing of Minecraft as we extended the reach of that franchise.
