Reports indicate Microsoft has been surveying Xbox users about reversing its multiplatform strategy and returning to full console exclusivity for its first-party games, with Call of Duty reportedly exempted from any such shift. The move comes as Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has previously hinted at potential changes to the platform's exclusivity approach. Commentators note that while the survey could signal a major strategic reversal from Xbox's recent years of bringing games to PlayStation and other platforms, surveys alone don't necessarily indicate policy change, as Xbox Research routinely studies many topics without resulting action.
