Previously, Xbox, under the leadership of Phil Spencer, moved away from the classic exclusive strategy. More and more Microsoft projects are being released on PS5, and the new head of the brand, Asha Sharma, has not yet confirmed a possible return to the model of games available only on Xbox and PC.
The new initiative Xbox Player Voice allows players to submit suggestions for platform development. And one of them quickly became the most popular – the demand to bring back exclusive games.

XBOX was built on great titles available only on this platform. You can't sell a console without a reason to buy it instead of competitors, and even more so give your flagship games to competitors. BRING THEM BACK!!!
Players reminded that the Halo, Gears of War, and Forza series shaped the image of Xbox for many years. Now, with some games being released on PS5, part of the community doubts the need to buy the console.
In addition to exclusives, the top suggestions also included the return of backward compatibility and free multiplayer. Xbox Player Voice has just launched, but it has already shown the main request of the audience – to bring back unique games and strengthen the platform's identity.
