Xbox plans to bring some exclusives to other platforms

On a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast earlier today, Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, and Matt Booty shared the vision on game exclusivity, the future of Xbox hardware, and the overall Xbox roadmap.

The Xbox brand will continue to be important, and games such as Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed, Ara: History Untold, Towerborne and more are coming, alongside continued updates for franchises such as Call of Duty, Minecraft, Forza, The Elder Scrolls Online and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

But the approach in exclusivity may be changing - as Microsoft is in the process of bringing 4 Xbox games to other platforms. These are titles which have been available to Xbox players for at least a year, and the actual names will be revealed in the future. "By bringing these games to more players, we not only expand the reach and impact of those titles, but this will allow us to invest in either future versions of these games, or elsewhere in our first-party portfolio. There is no fundamental change to our approach on exclusivity," said the company.

Game Pass will continue to be only available on Xbox platforms. There are also still plans for new Xbox consoles.

More updates will be coming at the annual June Xbox Showcase.
