Well, not forever, anyway. The latest title in the Tomb Raider series will be playable on Steam and Windows 10 in early 2016 and on PS4 later in the year, according to a statement from publisher Square Enix.
"The game will be a console exclusive to Xbox One and Xbox 360 for one year after its initial launch, coming to PlayStation 4 (PS4) in Holiday 2016," Square Enix said. "Renowned developer Crystal Dynamics, a Square Enix studio, is leading development in the latest entry in the iconic series for additional platforms.”
Rise of the Tomb Raider will be available for Xbox on November 10.
