by Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that his brand identity is “evolves” now that retention of first-party games exclusively for his own platform is no longer “a path for [Xbox]”.
When asked by independent game journalist Dustin Legarie or Spencer, just like Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, would continue to have an “exclusivity window” on Xbox Systems, Spencer replied with a strikingly simple: “No.”
“There is no reason for me to place a ring fence around a game and say that this game does not go to a place where players would find, where the business success would have for us,” Spencer explained.
“Our strategy is to make our games available.
“Game Pass is an important part of playing the games on our platform, but to keep games from other platforms?” Spencer added. “We don’t think the path is … that’s not a path for us. It doesn’t work for us.”

“What we are doing now, we really think we can build the best platform for the world’s best games.” Because the world’s largest games are available in several places, and more and more makers ask us, how do we stay connected when our game can be played in all these different places, and we want Xbox that it makes the platform that makes it possible.
“We think that makes us unique. Most other platforms are a single platform on one device, or that is PC, whether it is mobile, whether it is a console.
And we want Xbox to be a platform with which makers can play on every screen on which people want to play. “
When it is pressed to the question of whether the strategy change of Xbox means that it can lose its identity, Spencer was also strong about that.
“I hear them. I am pretty active in our player base and I am active in the community. I listen. I think worries about is: my library of games safe. I’m still going to play the games. , by cross -rights, Xbox plays everywhere, by crossplay.
“I see the investments we make in the platform and how we want Xbox to appear in several places, and your library is available there. When I think of buy-to-stream-so on when I buy a game, I I can do it Streaming to devices – this is to ensure that your library with games that you own on Xbox are playable in several places, so I would say that it is in the evolution of our identity.
“If you think about where this industry is now and you see the challenges, the business challenges that are available for many companies, I think we make games more accessible to more people as an industry like an industry so we stay Seeing great games that we have seen over the years. “
The comments reflect the position of Spencer at the end of last year, when he said that there were “no red lines” about an Xbox game that came to Nintendo Switch of PS5.
