Recently, Microsoft hosted an Inside Xbox show from home. The event had a number of amazing announcements, and we got a look at a lot of titles like the upcoming Grounded. However, what happened after is the focus here.
Sony's Shuhei Yoshida, who's now working on improving relationships with indie developers, congratulated Xbox head Phil Spencer for launching Xbox Game Pass in Japan and the Inside Xbox show.
Thanks Phil, the same to you and the team Xbox. The recent Inside Xbox was very nice, recorded from home.Thanks Phil, the same to you and the team Xbox. The recent Inside Xbox was very nice, recorded from home.— Shuhei Yoshida (@yosp) April 8, 2020April 8, 2020
Spencer replied by wishing the PlayStation team well and hoped that they were staying safe. Usually, Yoshida is known for taking digs at Xbox. This was quite common when the Xbox One was revealed. Everyone remembers the infamous "game sharing" video as well as the comments on how "1080p makes you a better gamer."
It's nice to see a cordial interaction. Let's hope that once the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 launch, it continues.
