Xbox Game Studios is focused on diversity.
Microsoft's gaming division - which has purchased the likes of Bethesda - has prioritised diversity both in terms of the way games can be played, and inclusivity.
Head of publishing Peter Wyse told Polygon: "You can see this come to focus in a game like 'Tell Me Why'.
"We're super proud of that game. It speaks to our values around LGBTQIA+ representation, mental health awareness, and more."
The focus on diversity is also prominent in Xbox's internal recruiting processes and third party partnerships.
Wyse noted that Microsoft is working with non-profit Gameheads, which is a mentorship programme for people of colour and those with low income aged 15 to 25.
