Xbox Exclusive Games Under Review Amid Shift in Strategy

Asha Sharma’s all-hands meeting revealed a strategy for revamping Microsoft Gaming under her leadership, which includes rebranding the entity back to Xbox, but more importantly, reassessing its approach to exclusive games and windowed releases. Industry observers are abuzz as Xbox fans ponder the implications of this shift, particularly given Microsoft’s past forays into sharing popular titles with PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. While there is no concrete word on a return to exclusivity just yet, Sharma has hinted that the company will take a fresh look at its approach in these areas. “We’ll be reevaluating our stance on exclusivity, windowing, and AI, and share more as we learn and decide,” she said in her meeting. The extent of this reassessment remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Microsoft Gaming under Sharma’s leadership is poised for a significant revamp.
