There isnt a deal in place Game Science already stated that the delay for Xbox is because of the consoles they have to work with. Plus if the exclusive deal was a thing Playstation would be marketing it every chance they get. This is just Microsoft stirring the pot because they're being left behind again just like with Baldurs Gate 3 and this is their reach around attempt to try and gather support to nudge the devs to delay the game in all platforms so they won't lose money.There is very likely no deal in place. This is a prioritization of resources.
The most important version of this game is going to be the PC version, followed by the PS5 version and a VERY VERY distant third with Xbox. Heck, I suspect that in this particular case, the PS5 version is going to be a distant 2nd.
Most wishlisted game on Steam by far and looking at the last few weeks, and it is being pre-ordered at a ridiculous rate in China compared to the rest of the world. If the game continues on the current trajectory it is on and is not a technical disaster at launch, it's going to be one of the best selling games of the year. Almost entirely off the back of the Chinese market.

He is already saying he didn't say that lol
he's being disingenuous, I regrettably read the article and he is heavily implying that Sony has a secret deal. And he also said it on a podcast.
Yep, he is acting so oblivious. He tried to start this exact same witch hunt against Baldur's Gate 3, but they're a much more established and responsive team and quickly squashed his lies."Wants to know what the optimization issues are" LOL
It's the console, that's the issue.
