Selecting which game comes to xbox one

Hi there,

I often see games not released on xbox one even though it gets released everywhere else.

For example genshin impact looks like a promising game and comes out on ps4/pc/mobile but not on the xbox.

My question here is who exactly decides if a game comes out on xbox one and how is that decided .

And im not really thinking that games like genshin impact dont come out because xbox doesn't expect it to perform well, because they've released questionable games on the xbox one from japan or elsewhere in the past that didn't really have a big audience.

At the moment i dont really exactly know how this is determined but i think it would be a great idea to have a option somewhere on a website to suggest not exclusive games that would be nice on the xbox one, in a voting poll. So they could see which games
people have interest in, if it is possible to do so.

Thanks in advance for any answer if i get one.

The developer chooses to see if it can be put on a console but sometimes a console might refuse to put the game on it for some reason. But mostly it’s just the developers choice.

Exodus Scalpel

That all depends on the developer and who pays the most money to either prevent games from releasing to other consoles or getting exclusive deals.

Also it depends on which creator studios create a game since some belong to Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony.

It is determined by the developer and the distributor. If a company is offered more monetary incentive to become exclusive. Also you have to look at studio parent companies.

The decision as to which console a game is released on is made partially by the games developer and partially by the gaming console companies. They can bid for exclusivity by offering better options and $, just like with any negotiation it has everything
to do with who holds the stronger position.

Do you know of any way to show demand for a game without being a influential person like a youtuber or to bring people to show that they are interested
