<p>It’s no mystery that the PlayStation 4 has gotten the upper hand when it comes to exclusives. Xbox players can’t check out great games like God of War, The Last of Us, or Spider-Man; but Microsoft could be planning to turn the tables soon enough.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-expresses-interest-in-acquiring-warner-game-unit">The Information</a>, sources have revealed that Microsoft could be planning on purchasing WB Games.</p> 

<p>WB holds the rights to several big IP from NetherRealm’s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/mortal-kombat-11/" title="Mortal Kombat 11 for the PC">Mortal Kombat</a> to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/batman-arkham-knight/" title="Batman: Arkham Knight for the PS4">Batman: Arkham</a> games. Other titles include Harry Potter as well as Lord of the Rings. If Microsoft gets a hold of the studio, it’s very likely that they’ll have pretty highly-anticipated exclusives when it comes to the Xbox Series X.

<p>While this should worry a lot of gamers now, it doesn’t seem like there’s any rush for WB Games to be sold. If anything, Microsoft is only one of several companies that want the studio; Activision Blizzard, Take-Two Interactive, and EA are said to be eyeing WB Studios as well. </p>

<p>Personally, the latter three may be the better options as there are a lot of gamers who aren’t willing to buy a whole new console just to play the next Arkham title. Maybe Microsoft would be more lenient when it comes to the more popular titles.</p>

<p>A purchase of WB Games hasn’t been confirmed, but the Xbox Series X and PS5 are set to launch sometime later this year.
