Xbox boss Asha Sharma has responded to criticism over the inclusion of competitor platform logos in Xbox showcase presentations, admitting the decision was a mistake and confirming the company is discussing changes for future events.
The backlash followed Xbox’s decision to display PlayStation and Nintendo logos alongside game announcements during its showcases.
“Seeing the feedback on logos. It was a miss, and I own it. We are talking about how we adjust for future Xbox shows.”
Xbox is apparently now reconsidering how platform information will be presented in future showcases.
Despite reportedly “rethinking exclusivity” and making exclusives a major topic on Player’s Voice, Xbox has confirmed it will continue showing PlayStation logos during next week’s Xbox Showcase for games also releasing on PS5.
Xbox has previously said it wants to be “transparent” about where games are available, which is why platform logos for PlayStation, Nintendo, and Steam continue to appear during its presentations.
