Titanfall is an Xbox, Windows exclusive 'for the life of the title'

Titanfall will be an Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC exclusive "for the life of the title," Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen said during an investor call today.

Respawn Entertainment's upcoming first-person shooter was revealed earlier this year as coming to Xbox 360, Xbox One and Windows PC, with no mention of other platforms. In the wake of the game's announcement, engineer Jon Shiring wrote a post about how Microsoft's cloud computing architecture plays a part in making Titanfallpossible.

"In the case of Titanfall, it's a brand new IP, and it's exclusive only for the life of the title on Xbox One and Xbox 360 and PCs," he said.  Thi

A tweet from Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella indicates Electronic Arts and Microsoft's exclusive deal for Titanfall is a recent development. Zampella saidTitanfall was "always MS exclusive at launch" but that "EA made a deal for the rest," which Respawn "only found out recently."

This exclusivity is only for the first game in the series, as Zampella said they will start making PS4 games after the first game is completed.  Luckily, PS4 fans will have Killzone: Shadow Fall and Destiny to keep them company for the time being, and there's nothing wrong with that.
