Microsoft Signals End of Console Exclusivity for Xbox Games

CEO Phil Spencer outlines a multiplatform strategy, with Xbox games expanding to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.

Phil Spencer confirmed that Xbox's strategy now prioritizes making its games available across multiple platforms, including PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.
The shift comes as Xbox aims to grow its audience and business by focusing on accessibility rather than hardware exclusivity.
Upcoming Xbox games like Starfield, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Indiana Jones are expected to launch on rival platforms, though specific plans for some titles remain unconfirmed.
Microsoft is also preparing to support the Nintendo Switch 2 with ports of major Xbox titles, further emphasizing its multiplatform direction.
Despite the pivot, Spencer reaffirmed Microsoft's commitment to creating innovative hardware, aiming to compete on capabilities rather than exclusive games.
