    Microsoft is considering making Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and even Minecraft Xbox console exclusive — surveys detailed

    Windows Central reports that Microsoft sent a new survey to a subset of Xbox Insider users who play across multiple platforms. It asks how likely they would be to invest in Xbox if individual franchises became timed or full console exclusives.

    The questions name Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Doom, Hideo Kojima’s PHYSINT, Diablo and Minecraft. One broader hypothetical asks respondents to imagine every future release from an Xbox-developed franchise, except Call of Duty, becoming console-exclusive.

    For Minecraft, that scenario says existing games would remain in owners’ libraries, but PlayStation and Nintendo versions would no longer be sold or receive new content; PC would be unaffected. The survey does not announce a policy change, and Windows Central notes it may lead to nothing.
