Disney's Strategic Move: Indiana Jones Becomes Xbox Exclusive

TL;DR Summary
Disney's head of gaming, Sean Shoptaw, explained that the decision to make Bethesda's upcoming Indiana Jones game an Xbox console exclusive was financially and strategically beneficial. Originally planned for release on PlayStation as well, the game will now be exclusive to Xbox and PC, including a day-one release on Game Pass. The exclusivity deal was renegotiated after Microsoft acquired ZeniMax Media, Bethesda's parent company. Shoptaw stated that the decision was not overly exclusionary, as Xbox remains a major gaming marketplace, and they believe it will still reach a broad audience.
