Square Enix has shared its plans to make all of its upcoming new games compatible for both current and next-gen consoles.
In an outline of financial results held on February 5, 2020, president and representative director Yosuke Matsuda responded to a question relating to the development of new titles for current and next-generation game consoles going forward.
Matsuda said, "The next-generation consoles will have backward compatibility, so we plan for the time being to make our new titles available for both current and next-generation consoles. It will therefore be somewhat farther down the road that we release titles exclusively for the next-generation consoles."
In a recent post on Xbox Wire from head of Xbox's Phil Spencer, we got confirmation that the Xbox Series X will give you the ability to play four generations of Xbox games, with compatibility for Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, along with the next-gen.
With plenty of exciting Square Enix games on the horizon such as Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Marvel's Avengers, and Outriders, it's great to see the studio plans to make its upcoming titles compatible on as many consoles as possible.
