Xbox boss on Uncharted: I wish we had an action-adventure game like that, but we don’t. Phil Spencer, boss of Microsoft’s Xbox division, spoke to Eurogamer after the announcement, explaining that the deal helps plug an Uncharted-size hole in the Xbox line-up, even if Rise of the Tomb Raider releases on other platforms at a later date. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End comes exclusively to PlayStation 4 next year and timed exclusivity on Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One, Xbox 360) gives Microsoft something to compete. “Do I wish I had an owned IP [intellectual property] first-party action adventure game?” said Spencer. “Absolutely. But I don’t right now. This is one that fits well.” Spencer revealed that he’s a fan of the PlayStation-exclusive Uncharted series, and that Microsoft has tried to make something comparable in the past. “I’m a big fan of Uncharted,” said Spencer, “and I wish we had an action adventure game of that ilk. We’ve started some, and we’ve looked at them. But we don’t have one today of that quality. This [partnership with publisher Square Enix] is an opportunity.”
