According to them, aggressive expansion was supposed to ensure a stable flow of games for Game Pass, but ultimately led to organizational chaos and excessive financial burden.
Xbox also admitted that even with large and iconic franchises at its disposal, the company did not provide them with sufficient funding and focus. As a result, the strategy was diluted, and multi-billion dollar investments over the past 5 years did not yield the expected revenue growth.
Now Xbox is preparing for restructuring and a review of priorities for the coming years. The main goal is to restore a stable release schedule and strengthen the focus on key projects. Amid discussions of multiplatform, the company is also betting on exclusives: this is confirmed by the absence of PlayStation versions for projects such as the new Gears and Clockwork Revolution.
