Rumor: Microsoft & EA Preparing Partnership
While exclusive third-party games are becoming more and more a thing of the past, there's talk that Microsoft and EA are teaming up for something for the next Xbox.
Two anonymous sources (neither of whom, unfortunately, work for Microsoft or EA) have told CVG about the partnership and that details will be announced at the upcoming Microsoft event to reveal the company's next system.
Speculation is that while it won't be for an exclusive game – EA traditionally doesn't do that – it could be for exclusive DLC content. This would certainly conform to current trends. Last week, at the PS4 reveal, Activision and Bungie announced exclusive PS4 content for Destiny, and presently, EA and Sony have a timed exclusive deal for Battlefield 3 DLC while Activision and Microsoft have the same for the Call of Duty series.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
