Just a few days ago, information came to light that assured that Microsoft had the opportunity to obtain the rights to Spider-Man and other Marvel licenses and that the North American company decided to decline them, which ended with this brand under the protection of PlayStation and more specifically from Insomniac Games. Now, in that same sense, we have known that Microsoft would have rejected a deal for the remake of Star Wars KOTOR, also known as Knights of the Old Republic. This has been announced by the popular youtuber MrMattyPlaysspecialized in Xbox information and that has accessed this news through its sources.
According to the aforementioned content creator, Aspyr Media (the company that is in charge of the development of this remake) offered Microsoft to reach a commercial agreement regarding this title. Without offering more details or reasons, MrMattyPlays assures that Xbox declined the offer, which has ended, once again, with Star Wars KOTOR Remake as a temporary exclusive to PlayStation 5. A decision that few are understanding, especially considering that Knights of the Old Republic was in its day exclusive on Xbox consoles and that it is a license closely linked to the history of the green brand.

The reasons why an agreement was not reached? Who knows. Perhaps Aspyr was asking Too much money or the developer did not want their game to reach a service like Xbox GamePass. In the absence of more news, we can only speculate. What is certain is that the KOTOR remake is a temporary exclusive to PlayStation 5 and that there are many other multiplatform Star Wars games on the way. Likewise, the original Knights of the Old Republic is playable on Xbox consoles thanks to the backwards compatibility program.
