Yesterday, Microsoft surprised everyone with the announcement of removing the limitations in multiplayer. Rocket League is going to be the first game where Xbox players will be able to play against other platform-owners (which, in this case, means PlayStation 4 and PC), making the car football title even more enjoyable. Xbox-boss Phil Spencer managed to take a step further with his recent comment!

In his interview to Polygon, he said the following: „You might not [buy an Xbox One]. And I’m not trying to trick you into buying an Xbox One for what I’m doing, I was actually asked by somebody, ‘Did you do [the free-to-play] Forza 6: Apex as a way of teasing the PC gamers with how good Forza is so they’ll go buy an Xbox One?’ No. That’s not the plan. So they might not [buy an Xbox One]. And I want that to be OK.”

You read that correctly; Spencer doesn’t mind if your choice of platform is different – seeing this statement after Windows 10‘s quite aggressive installations on unexpecting users’ PCs is a refreshing sight. He also says the two platforms offer different experiences.

In PR, Microsoft seems to have stepped up to the plate – Sony has its work cut out…
