The game was launched on Xbox One and Xbox 360 in November. Square Enix wrangled a deal with Microsoft making the game exclusive to Xbox platforms for a year. Shortly afterwards, Microsoft head Phil Spencer clarified that the game was in fact a timed exclusive, which meant that it would eventually be released on other platforms in the future.
