In response to these words , a Microsoft spokesperson noted that they have never taken a game away from PlayStation.

In a statement it sent to GameSpot, Microsoft said it “has not removed any PlayStation games.” Of course, at no time does he deny Smith’s statements or deny that Redfall was in development for PlayStation 5 at some point.
“We have not retired any PlayStation games.

“We have said from the beginning that future decisions on whether to distribute ZeniMax games for other consoles will be made on a case-by-case basis,” the spokesperson added.
