Dead Rising 3 definitely Xbox One exclusive

Microsoft has squashed rumours of Dead Rising 3 heading to the Xbox 360 by confirming that it's an Xbox One exclusive.

Xbox Live director of programming Major Nelson revealed the news on his Twitter feed.

"Reports from #eurogamer that Dead Rising 3 will launch on Xbox 360 are false. It's an Xbox One exclusive - no plans for 360," he said.

There had been reports that Capcom was planning to release the zombie title on the Xbox 360 at the end of the year, but it now looks like players will have to buy a next-gen console to get in on the action.

Dead Rising 3 is an Xbox One launch title, coming 22 November.
