In the spring of 2021, PlayStation’s exclusivity for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake came to an end. The updated Intergrade version of the game was released on PC more than a year later, but Xbox users were still without any options. Given a large number of Xbox fans, that looked like a surprising choice, but it turns out that Square Enix may not have had any control over the decision to release Final Fantasy on Xbox.

Yesterday, Microsoft made public its formal response to the FTC lawsuit against the Activision merger, claiming that Sony is only attempting to retain its dominance in the console industry by opposing Activision’s union with Microsoft. Microsoft claims that Sony is preventing the release of certain third-party games on Xbox systems as more evidence.
