2024 Xbox 'Business Update' podcast - discussion & reaction MEGATHREAD
# Real Time Recap/Highlights
Decisions were made with long term health of Xbox in mind, buiding the best platform, raching the most players
Phil, Sara, and Matt here to talk about hardware and exclusivity.
Show was originally planned to start with ABK, and some of the exclusivity.
Unforeseen news caused a stepped-up response.
Four games coming to other consoles - not naming the games, letting each team announce.
Games are not Starfield or Indiana Jones
Every decision is made with the long-term health of Xbox in mind.
Phil has a "fundamental belief" that console exclusives are going to be a smaller and smaller part of the industry.
Games were chosen that are over a year old, community driven, have reached their full potential on Xbox and PC, and are franchises they want to continue to invest in.
Two of the other games are smaller games, that were never built to be system selling exclusives.
Utilizing other platforms increases exposure for sequels.
Don't take this as a signal that 'everything' is coming to 'insert platform'.
There is no fundamental change to how they think about exclusivity.
Focus is on how to grow Xbox as a hardware platform, publisher, and desirable place for developers and creators.
Over the last five years big games can be bigger than an entire platform, like Roblox.
All game will go to gamepass
GamePass will only be available on Xbox
