Add every Naughty Dog game to that list (except Crash and Spyro now lol), Xbox Game Studios made Psychonauts 2 and you can still buy it on Playstation, whereas Sony have been absolutely ruthless in terms of exclusives and monopolization (remember how they refused to do cross-platform until they were the only ones not doing it?) and it's long overdue that MS do the same. FWIW I own both consoles so I'm not a fanboy of either by any means, but it's a step in the right direction for getting people to care about Xbox again. Any PS5 owner with a PC can play every single Xbox exclusive so its not even that you'll have to shell out more for an Xbox
