Xbox president Sarah Bond recently made waves in the gaming world by declaring that platform-exclusive games are “antiquated.” In this video, we break down exactly what she meant, why Xbox is taking this approach, and what it could mean for the future of console gaming. We’ll also explore the impact exclusives have historically had on the console wars, how they shaped gamers’ decisions, and why Xbox’s move to release all its major franchises across multiple platforms has changed the competitive landscape.
I’ll share my perspective on why console-exclusive games were once a key reason people chose one system over another and discuss how Xbox’s shift toward accessibility and cross-platform play might have inadvertently weakened its position in the console war. From cross-platform hits like Fortnite and Minecraft to Xbox’s own franchises, we’ll look at how gaming is evolving beyond traditional exclusives — and what that means for players, developers, and the industry as a whole.
