Phil Spencer, or as I like to call him, Tito Phil, is perhaps the most important and loved person in the entire Xbox environment. He took over the head of Microsoft’s video games division when it was needed most, managed to change his image and his mindset and even, thanks to all of this, many of us believe that it is. it was he who saved this from a very likely death.
For quite some time now, he’s been endlessly looking for new studios with which he seeks not only to expand his IP addresses, but also to constantly improve Xbox Game Pass, an example of what happened with Ninja Theory. , Playground Games, Double Very Good, and more recently Bethesda. But it seems like not everything is about getting the purest games or hardcoreBut our good friend Phil is also interested in other things.
Phil Spencer plans to acquire studios that develop more casual content
And it is thanks to the interview that the site Bloomberg was able to perform at the Paley International Council Summit, Phil Spencer expressed his interest in it, stating the following:
“When I think of the genres that are generally associated with Xbox, yes we have Roblox, we have Minecraft, we have FIFA and Fortnite, but we want to continue to invest in more social and casual titles that already exist.”
He also added that he was “very proud of the creators who decided to be part of Xbox” and that he wanted them “to push their creative capacity within the team”.
Still, I’m not confirming the specific plans that the casual game companies have caught your interest in, but if your resolve is as strong as when you decided to acquire Bethesda, we’ll probably know something about it in a few months.
