Going forward, Microsoft will be showing PlayStation and Nintendo logos along with the Xbox logo during its future gaming showcases.

"But I just want to be transparent with people, for shipping on Nintendo Switch, we’re gonna put that [logo]. For shipping on PlayStation, on Steam," Xbox boss Phil Spencer said in an interview with Xbox Era. "People should know the storefronts where they can get our games, but I want people to be able to experience our Xbox community in our games and everything we have to offer, on every screen we can."

He explained that discussions to add these logos took place in June, but by the time Microsoft made its decision, the assets weren't ready. He also reiterated Xbox's multiplatform strategy, as it allows Microsoft to create bigger games while also supporting its own hardware and platform services.

Gaming showcases from platform holders like PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox typically only show their own logos along with the trailers they're presenting, even if the games are multiplatform. For example, PlayStation's latest State of Play presentation only showed PS4 and PS5 logos at the end of trailers, while Nintendo Directs only show the Switch logo.

During Xbox's most recent showcase, the January 2025 Developer Direct, Microsoft mentioned other platforms that the games it presented were going to, including PS5 and PC. These include Ninja Gaiden 4, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Doom: The Dark Ages.

Spencer also recently said that he's no longer trying to move PS5 players over to Xbox anymore, and is instead meeting them there.
