""Along the way, we will reevaluate our approach to exclusivity, windowing, and AI, and share more as we learn and decide," says Sharma and Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty in a joint memo to employees today."
""There’s no firm commitment because it will be difficult to reverse a decision to port games to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, largely because of the revenue that titles like Forza Horizon 5 have brought in.""
""Microsoft could consider keeping its own first-party games exclusive to Xbox and PC for a set period of time, though. Forza Horizon 6 could be a good test of this approach, given it debuts on Xbox and PC first and PS5 later.""
""The joint memo also discusses Xbox's 'master plan' and about 'honest about where we are.' Microsoft's new 'north star' for Xbox progress is now daily active players, and the priorities are hardware, content, experiences, and services.""
Asha Sharma outlined a strategy for the 'return of Xbox' during an all-hands meeting. The rebranding of Microsoft Gaming back to Xbox is part of this strategy. Xbox is considering reevaluating exclusive games and windowed releases. There is no firm commitment to returning to exclusives due to the success of porting games to other platforms. The focus is now on daily active players, with priorities including hardware, content, experiences, and services.
