In February 2024, the Xbox team announced a change in strategy, which involves the release of a number of exclusive projects on other platforms. In particular, we already know about 4 games that will be released on competitors’ consoles, but after that this list may well expand.
While sales of Xbox consoles are declining, they are setting the highest monthly gaming time in history. This became known from material on the official Xbox Wire blog, which is dedicated to the ID@Xbox program. The Xbox team notes that January 2024 was the biggest month for Xbox gaming consoles in history:
This year of 2024 is off to a fast start for gamers, with Xbox having its biggest month in console history in January of this year based on playtime (including ID@Xbox Pocket Pair, whose Xbox Game Preview game Palworld scored over 10 000,000 players on Xbox to date).
The Xbox team did not specify what indicators Xbox consoles were able to achieve in January 2024.
