Microsoft confirms Rise of the Tomb Raider Xbox exclusivity

4.5
"The recent decision to release the upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider as an Xbox One exclusive alienates the majority of the fan base and will ultimately lead to the demise of the franchise."

For a vocal group of fans it's not just a business move, but a killing blow. Microsoft's claim to Rise of the Tomb Raider, as an Xbox-only game for Holiday 2015, is incurring the sort of backlash and petition-signing flurry (seen above) that's well known to veterans of the infamous console wars. And it's not even the first time a Tomb Raider sequel has been through this – just ask Sega Saturn owners who had to get a PC or PlayStation if they wanted to a keep their streak of unearthed relics.

Motioncorey Wow. Xbox gets an exclusive and EVERYONE cries. I mean really!? PSN has DayZ AND H1Z1. Can Xbox get something!? And no, don't think this'll come out for other consoles fiscal 2016 or '17. Exclusive is exclusive.

A lot of people who don't own an Xbox One won't be very happy...

this is so incorrect, this is exclusive yeah but it is timed which means that Xbox One will get it in 2015 (probably fall) and PC, PS4 will get it in 2016 (probably start of the year) which gives MS exclusivity just for a couple of months maximum
