Xbox boss wants Tomb Raider to be the Xbox One’s Uncharted

4.6
Phil Spencer had admitted that Xbox needs an action-adventure game as good as Sony’s Uncharted franchise, and he hopes that tying up exclusivity for Rise of the Tomb Raider will fill that hole.

Eurogamer asked if the deal was to ensure that Xbox had something to compete with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in 2015: “Totally. I’m a big fan of Uncharted and I wish we had an action adventure game of that ilk,” said Spencer. “We’ve started some, and we’ve looked at them. But we don’t have one today of that quality. This is an opportunity.”

The exact nature of the exclusivity deal was unclear when Microsoft announced it at gamescom last week, but it now seems that Rise of the Tomb Raider will eventually be free to go to other platforms, the Xbox exclusivity lasting for “a duration.” How long that duration is remains unclear.

Dusknoir Tomb Raider was a good game, but just look at the resolution alone from the preview picture.

This is great and all but what they should do (My opinion) is Make the Xbox One Backwards Compatible and allow access to Xbox live at the same time of playing the Older Games we come to Love, Some times even more then the newer titles

Tomb Raider is a great game. Although it's hard to combat an exclusive, when you only bought timed exclusivity.

Polygon Tomb Raider games were born on Playstation.
I hate how Xbox are 'stealing' the game just for an exclusive?

You make my head hurt saying something like that.
