- The new Player Voice portal lets Xbox users submit direct feedback and requests to leadership.
- The demand for Xbox exclusives has climbed to the top of the forum, with over 6000 votes.
- Players are also asking to focus on backward compatibility and free access to online multiplayer.
There’s been a huge disconnect between gamers and Xbox executives over the last decade, but things might be changing pretty soon. Microsoft has launched a new Player Voice system that lets gamers deliver direct feedback and requests to the leadership.
Gamers are making great use of the new portal, with some very expected requests already making their way to the top of the list. The demand for exclusives has soared to the top of the forum at the time of writing.
Why it matters: The new Player Voice portal is being praised for providing direct communication with Xbox executives. If utilized correctly, the portal might prove to be the silver lining the ecosystem needs to develop a tight-knit relationship with the leadership.
The post titled ‘EXCLUSIVES’ is currently the most upvoted one on the Player Voice portal, with over 6000 votes.
The user, Carlos Hernandez, argues that Xbox was built on great exclusives, but it has forgotten that legacy and sent its tentpole franchises to other platforms for temporary profits.
Therefore, the user and nearly a thousand replies are demanding that the brand focus on first-party exclusives again.
The second top post wants Xbox to focus on backwards compatible games again, like the olden days. The third thread asks the brand to make online multiplayer free to access for all games across all generations of Xbox.
It’s unclear whether the Xbox leadership will acknowledge and honor these fan demands. Considering PlayStation is also returning to single-player first-party exclusives, gamers argue that this is the perfect time for Xbox to do the same for long-term growth.
Do you think Xbox will drop its controversial and unpopular platform-agnostic approach, especially as PlayStation returns to first-party single-player exclusives? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
