Over the past year, Xbox has increasingly shifted from selling itself as a traditional console to more of a gaming platform that exists on multiple devices, including cell phones and TVs. Recently, CEO Phil Spencer has even been talking about bringing Xbox games to the consoles of its biggest competitors.
Since the launch of the Xbox in 2001, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have competed to make sure their console commands the biggest piece of the gaming pie. One major weapon in that battle has been exclusive games that can only be played in one place. But now, Xbox has signaled a major shift in that strategy, meaning the once-unthinkable prospect of playing former Xbox exclusives on a PlayStation or a Nintendo Switch could become a reality soon.
