Not originally. Originally it was Xbox exclusive because OWI were still bound by the four‐game exclusive contract they signed when they moved to the Xbox. When Microsoft ousted OWI, this agreement was nullified, but the Stranger engine was already built to optimize the Xbox. That’s why the team EA assigned to port the game to PS2 found it such slow going, and EA got impatient and pulled the plug.
Way to go, Microsoft. Way to go, EA.
