One of the most important pieces of information that 2021 left us was last month, with the news that Sony is currently working on Spartacus. If true, it would be a service that aunaría PlayStation Plus y PlayStation Now on a single platform with different subscription levels.
What seems to be clearly in line with what Microsoft offers with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has been commented by the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer. In a chat with IGN, the person in charge has indicated what it means to take this path:
“I don’t mean to make it sound like we’ve figured it all out, but I think the right answer is to let your customers play the games they want to play, where they want to play them, and give them the choice of how to build their library and be transparent with them about what are our plans in terms of our offerings for PC and our cross-gen initiatives and whatnot. So when I hear others doing things like Game Pass or coming to PC, it makes sense to me because I think that’s the right answer “.
However, Spencer does not think that this situation causes Microsoft to be justified in having directed its efforts in this line. In fact, it ensures that both for PlayStation and Xbox it is inevitable to adopt this course:
“I don’t really see it as a reaffirmation. In fact, when I talk to our teams, I talk about it as something inevitable. So, for us, we should keep innovating, keep competing, because the things that we are doing can be advantages that we have in the game. market today, but it’s just based on coming first, not that we’ve created something that no one else can create.
I like it because it feeds our energy into what are the next things we should be working on as we continue to build on the things we’ve done in the past. Because I think the correct answer is to release great games, release them on PC, release them on console, release them in the cloud, make them available day 1 on subscription. And I hope that’s what our competitor will do.”
Be that as it may, the new batch of Xbox Game Pass games for this month has already been published. Of course, one of the highlights is the arrival of Rainbow Six Extracion at the Microsoft service.
