Disney's top gaming boss, Sean Shoptaw, has commented on why he believes Bethesda's upcoming Indiana Jones game being exclusive to Xbox is not an "overly exclusionary" move.

　　According to Axios, Microsoft asked Disney to renegotiate the terms of the game's business arrangement following Microsoft's buyout of Bethesda parent company ZeniMax. The report said Microsoft sought a new deal to prevent the game from coming to PlayStation so it could be exclusive to Xbox on console and also have a PC release.

　　Now Playing: Machine Games - Official Indiana Jones Game Teaser Trailer

　　Shoptaw said Xbox is "one of the bigger marketplaces for games." As such, he said Disney "didn't feel like we were going to be overly exclusionary."

　　"We felt like it's still going to reach a broad set of folks, and we felt, financially and strategically for the game, that made sense at the time," Shoptaw said.

　　The Indiana Jones game is in development at Wolfenstein studio Machine Games and Todd Howard is an executive producer on the project. Shoptaw discussed Bethesda's pitch, saying, "They pitched us a really compelling vision for Indy, and that resonated."

　　Not much is known about the Indiana Jones game, and there is no word yet on a release date. Earlier this year, Howard told GQ that the team at Machine Games is "doing a really great job" with the upcoming Indiana Jones game. "They've got the whole Nazi killing thing down," he said, referring to the studio's history with the Wolfenstein series.

　　Indiana Jones is one of at least two Disney properties that Microsoft is working on now, as the company's Arkane Lyon studio is making a Blade game with Disney subsidiary Marvel.
