Microsoft has already started rolling out its new community tool, XBOX Player Voice, a platform designed for gamers to share their opinions, vote on proposals, and keep a closer eye on how feedback evolves within the XBOX ecosystem.

And just after its first moves, it’s becoming clear what one of the most repeated demands from the community is.

Exclusives return as a priority within XBOX Player Voice

Among the most commented responses and suggestions within the new feedback system, one word stands out clearly above the rest:

“Exclusive”

In other words, a large part of the gamers are still demanding a greater emphasis on exclusives within XBOX’s strategy. The issue continues to be one of the strongest debates surrounding Microsoft since several first-party titles began to arrive on other platforms as well. Precisely, one of the main functions of XBOX Player Voice will be to allow users to see how the proposals they submit evolve and which comments generate the most interest within the community.

The new platform will enable:

• Sharing opinions and suggestions
• Tracking the status of submitted feedback
• Seeing when a proposal has been reviewed
• Learning which ideas generate the most support among gamers

Microsoft has also explained that this doesn’t mean all requests will end up becoming new features or actual changes within XBOX, although they do aim to bring communication between the community and the company much closer together.

All this comes at a time of transformation for the brand, with visible changes in branding, communication, and strategy under the new direction of Asha Sharma. And judging by the first reactions within XBOX Player Voice, it seems clear that exclusives will continue to be one of the major topics of conversation for a long time.
