Disney's Strategic Move: Indiana Jones Goes Xbox Exclusive

Disney has defended the decision to make Bethesda's upcoming Indiana Jones game exclusive to Xbox and PC, stating that it is not "overly exclusionary" as Xbox is still a major marketplace for games. The exclusivity deal was renegotiated after Microsoft acquired Bethesda, and Disney believed it made financial and strategic sense at the time. Microsoft aims to leverage Game Pass and console sales to offset potential losses from making Indiana Jones and Starfield Xbox exclusives. The issue of console exclusivity has been a recurring theme for Microsoft, with Bethesda games being exclusive to PC and Xbox, while a 10-year deal was signed with Sony to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation.
