Xbox has spent the past few years bringing its games to other platforms – a strategy that would've once seemed unthinkable to those of us who remember when a console was judged by the quality of its exclusive games. For Xbox president Sarah Bond, however, the idea of exclusives is looking downright "antiquated" as the biggest games in the world are increasingly looking like platforms in their own right.
Asked about exclusive games in an interview with Mashable, Bond says, "We're really seeing people evolve way past that. The biggest games in the world are available everywhere. You look at Call of Duty, you look at Minecraft, you look at Fortnite, you look at Roblox. Like, that's actually what's really driving community in gaming. That's where people gather [and] they have experiences, and the idea of locking it to one store or one device is antiquated for most people. You want to be able to play with your friends anywhere regardless of what they're on."
