Xbox is taking a risk with the range of exclusive titles
Sony has been adamantly sticking with the solo player titles and has showcased utmost faith in them. According to a report by The Guardian, even Xbox is trying to build a market of its own with a roster of exclusives. Despite the current push towards building multiplayer titles like Battle Royale, free-to-play first-person shooters, and more. Xbox is still looking to take a risk by investing in exclusive single-player titles for Series X/S.
Xbox’s head, Phil Spencer shed light on the future of the company and what the future will hold for them.
“I think we’re probably building more of those now than we’ve been in the history of Xbox. Platform holders, whether that platform is a subscription or a hardware device or a store, are actively investing in new and probably more risky things, because, if it works, we get value out of bringing players into the ecosystem.”
Prominent titles like Halo Infinite, Starfield, Gears of Wars, Sea of Thieves Forza Horizon 5, and many more are going to be limited to Xbox’s device. This amazing range of exclusive titles will definitely help bump the sales of Series X/S devices.
