Since Asha Sharma became Xbox CEO in 2026, the company has pursued strategies to expand its audience, including a potential return to exclusive titles. A recent Windows Central report highlights an Xbox Research survey gauging player reactions to a scenario where all future games from Xbox-owned studios, excluding Call of Duty, become console-exclusive to Xbox.
The survey details specific impacts for Minecraft, suggesting that existing titles would be removed from PlayStation and Nintendo storefronts and would cease receiving content updates. However, the proposal specifies that users would retain access to previously purchased content, and the strategy would not alter the current availability of games on PC.
This potential shift marks a departure from recent efforts to target cross-platform gamers with Xbox-published titles. Despite these considerations, the report indicates that PC releases will remain unaffected, with games continuing to launch on both PC and Xbox consoles following the launch of Xbox Helix.
While the survey does not confirm a definitive return to exclusive publishing, it reflects internal discussions regarding viable business strategies. The use of public surveys suggests that leadership at Microsoft and Xbox is actively evaluating the feasibility of such a transition.
