We are happy to announce that Space Engineers is going to be released for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program and it will remain exclusive on Xbox One for twelve months. The news was first announced live during the Xbox news briefing at gamescom 2014.
Space Engineers offers a robust platform for creative gamers to build and maintain space stations and ships in a single or multi-player environment. Offering both Survival and Creative modes, as well as resource management, multiplayer, and even combat, the limits of what can be built and played are only bound by the player’s own creativity.
“We are really excited to introduce Space Engineers to an all new audience on Xbox One and provide gamers from around the world the same open-ended creative environment that has enamored PC gamers,” said Marek Rosa, CEO and Founder, Keen Software House. “With the power of Xbox One, we will be able to offer all of our features with amazing multiplayer options. We expect the Xbox community to unleash amazing creations and astounding worlds that we can’t even imagine.”

sigh..
I suppose that by exclusivity, you are referring only to consoles, because no one in their right mind would halt development of a Early Access game, where a lot of people already paid for it. on PC.
Developers should be more specific, to prevent unnecessary confusion.
I just hope the PC version won't be dumbed down because of the XBone. That would be a shame.
This is horrible news...
I don't mind at all that it's on Xbox. It's not like the game will become un-PC friendly all of a sudden.
Hopefully not but scary things happen when devs start getting pushed around.
Building stuff is a slow and arduous task on PC - I dread to think what it would be like on XBox. Eeep. Good luck KSH.
I don't see what the problem is, at worst pc will get monthly updates instead of weekly ones while they commit some of the staff to the xbone
I for one now have a good enough reason to get an xbone, unless I can get a better pc beforehand
