Big changes are happening at Xbox. It all started when Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, talked about changing the company’s strategy in February.
Some people thought Xbox games like Starfield and Indiana Jones might come to PlayStation, but that turned out to be wrong. However, Spencer did say that Xbox would try releasing some of its games on other consoles.
They announced that games like Pentiment, Grounded, Sea of Thieves, and Hi-Fi Rush would be available on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. This move could be smart for business, as Xbox is now looking at what games to release next.
There are also rumors about Xbox making a handheld gaming device. Plus, Sarah Bond from Xbox hinted that the next Xbox console would be a big jump in technology.
This is quite different from Xbox’s quiet year in 2022. It seems like that year made them work harder.
Fans of Xbox have a lot to be excited about, including the chance of Steam and other stores coming to Xbox. Spencer wants to bring more games from other platforms to Xbox too.
In an interview, Spencer said he’s open to having stores like the Epic Games Store and Steam on Xbox. He thinks giving players more choices is important, just like on a PC.
Spencer also talked about how making consoles cheaper is hard now. He believes in removing barriers for players and game makers.
In the end, making games available to more people brings more joy to everyone.
