They started that already.
If you pay the highest grade Gamepass on Console, you automatically get given PC Gamepass rights. So at least for the highest tier customers, Xbox already has plans to transfer them to PC.

Xbox will no longer have permanent console exclusives going forward according to Jez Corden

No, they are not. Sony has expanded into PC, but that is really all. We don't see Herman Hulst actively talking about publishing games on Xbox like we do with Phil Spencer and company.

Jez saying this would lead me to believe MS have stopped the multiplatform plan. If he said it was sunny outside, I'd bring an umbrella

What IP does Sony own and publish on Xbox?

Xbox is officially a dead brand now.
All those fanboys repping them for over 20 years and they drop them all like a hot potato.
Dayum. I feel sorry for them, gave them nothing to play for years and then sold them out to their competitors.
The industry will heal.

Mlb the show? Death Stranding.

Afraid not. Sony doesn't own or publish either one of those. MLB on Xbox is published by MLB Advanced Media. Death Stranding on Xbox is published by 505.

Kojima owns the DS IP now.
Technically, Destiny and Marathon count I guess. They're Bungie (and by association Sony) IP's which are/will be published on Xbox.

True. Destiny was already on Xbox, but Bungie was acquired with the understanding that they would remain multiplatform. This is not the equivalent of PlayStation following Microsoft. There is definitely a "red line" and Sony executives are not saying that every game will be handled on a "game by game basis" as to whether they will be on Xbox. Everything is on the table for Xbox. Just not the case for PlayStation.

No one should be. Those are not "consoles".

Sega will return
ms is just waiting for Sega and Nintendo to announce their consoles so it can port everything and exit the market quietly.
MS knows, after all, they are partners with Sega and are transferring know-how, data security, etc.

Plans are in place but the question is on how many Xbox fans will follow-through with the move.

Its beyond obvious this was coming but I don't understand the reasoning on why it isn't the case yet. A good amount of their studios were literally multiplat already..... Doesn't seem like they have to change much at all

Everything from them will be day 1 multiplatform in a couple of years. Microsoft have nothing to gain by having games exclusive to xbox anymore. The brand is too weak and actually hinders the potential performance of games. That's why indiana Jones has such a short window. Doom is day 1. So it outer worlds 2. Microsoft know there's no benefit in having them exclusive to xbox. The console battle between playstation and xbox is officially over.

After how Indiana Jones performed expect that change to be sooner than later. May even see a few delays to ensure they launch day 1 on everything.

This is the future of market. The hardware no longer matters due to production costs. All us old guys just need to accept it. The “generations” of console exclusives is done in the next decade. RIP GameCube, PS2 and XBOX era

That's definitely what is sounds like. I don't have a mind for business so what I say is probably all wrong but it feels like they just threw in the towel.
There was an interview about a year or or so ago where Phil Spencer said that they aren't going to outsell Sony by releasing great games...or something along those lines.
Why is that important?! Isn't the goal to improve yourself instead of being #1? If you get to a point where you are more successful than how you were during your previous generation isn't that a win regardless of how the competition is doing?
I'm so confused by their strategy.

Kojima bought the Death Stranding IP recently, reason why it now got a Xbox version, and MLB The Show, while developed by a Playstation 1st party studio, MLB has a saying (Probably related to the MLB licence) cuz it was MLB decision to make an Xbox version, MLB also publishes the Xbox version of the game.

Exclusives are alive and well on PS5 and Switch still. All it would take is someone to come in with exclusives and wipe the floor with the current manufacturers if they made everything multiplatform.This is the future of market.

Seems like the obvious move with the direction MS is headed with Xbox. Think a lot of people already had it figured out before Jez confirmed.
What will be interesting is the direction MS will take Xbox in terms of hardware. Maybe offer some sort of super console at a premium? Rumored handheld? Maybe stop hardware altogether? Will be interesting to see.

That is why they only have the transfer ready for the most valuable paying customers. The standard Gamepass customers are not valuable enough to worry about. They have already considered the lower tier customers as being lost. Xbox considers "Xbox Fans" as those who pay for Ultimate. No one else matters enough.

Gotta love the spin-off move Sony pulled to turn the more promising project in the Bungie Portfolio into a new exclusive for their eco. Yes, thats what that move was about.

Ultimate is already required for console now if you want all of the Gamepass games, having ultimate now doesn’t mean they will be willing to move from console to PC.
Their decision will decide the fate of Gamepass.

When you go to that argument you admit that Xbox the console is dead and Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and us killed it.
You give away the argument, by giving way too much ground. You prove his point.

Talking about Sega I thought it was cool how Xbox saved Shenmue 2 back in the day.
Xbox may be a fentanyl user sleeping under the bridge now but he was a star athlete in highschool. Someone stil remembers.
