A popular insider is arguing that Sony won't allow PC ports on future Xbox consoles. Many gamers disagree since any Windows-based system should support Steam. Microsoft may soon release an Xbox handheld that could act as a test case for booting PlayStation's cross-platform games.
It really just depends on how xbox approaches it.
If its a PC with new xbox branded software… They shouldnt be able to fight it.
Like what microsoft actually needs to do (which would also save windows) is to develop a compatability layer that would allow xbox games to be playable on PC(windows), the digital ones anyhow…
Then users would get the best of both worlds, skyrocketing their market and mind share.
Honestly, I don’t think it would be all that difficult. From my understanding, under the hood the Xbox Series X/S are basically just a normal x86 PC. They even say the OS is ‘Windows 10 Core’, and some stuff is already fully cross-platform.
