Wherever you can get Xbox Cloud streaming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So the pullback is less about &#8220;only on Xbox!&#8221; and more &#8220;not on PlayStation!&#8221; which isn&#8217;t quite the same thing, but does square with Sharma&#8217;s admission in April\u2014more of a reminder, really\u2014that &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/our-presence-on-pc-isnt-strong-enough-xbox-bosses-admit\/\" target=\"_blank\">our presence on PC isn&#8217;t strong enough<\/a>.&#8221; And since PC gaming is dominated by Windows, made by the company that also makes Xbox, there&#8217;s a synergy between platforms that Sony just doesn&#8217;t have\u2014which helps explain why PlayStation would actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/sony-retreats-from-pc-gaming-robbing-us-of-maybe-4-games\/\" target=\"_blank\">embrace non-presence on PC<\/a> as a feature, not a bug.<\/p>\n<p>All of this matters because in the actually-not-very-long-ago times, exclusivity was the bane of PC gaming. A huge number of great PC games debuted first on one Xbox console or another\u2014Halo, Fable, Alan Wake, Gears of War, Jade Empire, KOTOR, and Mass Effect, to name a handful\u2014and took months or even years to come to PC. And it sucked! <\/p>\n<p>Microsoft eventually seemed to figure out that it was leaving money on the table, but so did Sony\u2014until it decided, I guess, that <em>PlayStation or nothing<\/em> is actually more lucrative in the long run. So when Microsoft started rumbling about a return to exclusives, I think it&#8217;s very understandable that a lot of us would start getting that ol&#8217; CJ feeling:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1200px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"HAeWwD9oabQa6jZYbmQQwV\" name=\"GTASanAndreasAhShit.jpg\" alt=\"Carl \"CJ\" Johnson saying, \"Ah shit, here we go again.\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/xbox-console-exclusives-are-strictly-about-console-releases-xbox-exec-affirms-games-will-still-show-up-on-all-the-normal-places-where-we-sell-the-pc-version.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Take-Two Interactive)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Confusing matters further, the Xbox exclusives strategy is still very fluid: The new Gears is exclusive, for example, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/halo-campaign-evolved-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Halo: Campaign Evolved<\/a>\u2014an even bigger name in the Xbox pantheon\u2014is not. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re the number two publisher in the world and in order to be a great publisher, you must have your games reach large audiences to play,&#8221; Sharma said in a recent<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/7xjSFDE7Pps?t=4735s\" target=\"_blank\"> Bloomberg interview<\/a>. &#8220;At the same time, we&#8217;re increasingly becoming a platform.
