- Xbox head has confirmed there won’t be immediate changes to the multiplatform strategy.
- However, she hasn’t completely ruled out skipping exclusives in the future.
- She says she currently wants to focus on hardware and return Xbox to its roots.
There have been tons of questions looming around ever since Asha Sharma took over as the head of Xbox. Fans are concerned about the future of the company, and Sharma has been actively addressing the concerns.
In a recent interview, she was asked about the situation of exclusives, considering she recently hinted that they could make a return. However, for now, Xbox won’t make any immediate changes to its multiplatform strategy.
Why it matters: Amid falling console sales, Xbox had to take deliberate measures like going all out with its multiplatform approach and putting some of its biggest exclusive franchises like Halo, Forza, and others on PlayStation.
Talking to Windows Central, Asha Sharma discussed the future of exclusives. She said it is too early to change anything abruptly right now, but she hasn’t ruled anything out, suggesting they could look into it in the future.
We also know that there are a lot of players who aren’t on console or our hardware, and I want to deliver great games to them too.
She stated that the current plan is the plan, until it isn’t, dropping a very subtle hint that Xbox could reevaluate its multiplatform strategy. But for now, she wants to focus on other things, especially the hardware.
Right now, I need to learn, candidly. About the ‘why’ of these decisions, what we were optimizing for, and what the data says about the Xbox strategy today. The plan’s the plan until it’s not the plan
Sharma has shown a strong commitment to Xbox hardware and says she wants the company to return to its roots and cater to its audience. We could soon hear more about the next-gen hybrid console as well.
