Microsoft prepares to take Xbox everywhere

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the company is getting ready to launch a select number of Xbox games on PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
Weeks of rumors suggest that Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, and even Bethesda titles like Starfield and Indiana Jones could appear on non-Xbox platforms.
That giant $68.7 billion acquisition will be weighing on Microsoft’s mind, particularly when you consider that Call of Duty is a big multiplatform game that drives key revenue across these platforms and mobile.
It looked set to continue growing rapidly amid Microsoft’s device-agnostic focus on consoles, PCs, and cloud gaming.
But Apple’s surprise new plan to comply with the European Union’s latest tech regulations has left Microsoft and others frustrated.
Spencer had previously described the Xbox mobile store and the EU’s Digital Markets Act as a “huge opportunity” for Microsoft.

Forward the death of platforms.
It's all just computers, now.
...computers that are locked down like game consoles, if they have their way.
They won't. Windows isn't even the best way to play Windows games, anymore. x86 itself might become a suggestion - a legacy bytecode for LLVM to consume.
Microsoft themselves couldn't will that into existence with the Windows Store.
