Yesterday we advanced a excerpt from the interview we conducted with Glen Schofield. In this one, he left us with more than interesting answers, such as his vision for subscription services and how Microsoft can approach the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. And being someone who was inside Activision, his opinion is absolutely on point.
The fact is that the complete interview contains very interesting data that you will surely like. In particular to the relationship of the study with the management of Xbox, in particular with Phil Spencer, assuring that “they are very good friends”.
It’s still early to know if it will come to Game Pass or not
And it is that Schofield has confessed to us that at Striking Distance Studios they are very close friends of Phil Spencer and that both parties are very interested in each other. They were words of admiration for the work of those in Redmond with their brand of video games, so much so that there is a lot of Microsoft technology in The Callisto Protocol.
Obviously, It seems early to take for granted that your game will come to Game Pass. The logic in front of a long-awaited title is to first note the success of its reception, and then to evaluate it calmly. I like the part where he acknowledges how well ray tracing can work on Xbox Series. Here is his answer to the question:Do you plan to see the game on Xbox Game Pass or another subscription service in the future?»
I don’t know yet, we talked about it. I think we need to give the game some time in the market, whether it’s sold out, etc. But hey, we’re very close friends with Phil Spencer, I’ve known him for a long time, he’s very into gaming, and I’m very into Microsoft. We’re doing amazing things on Xbox with ray tracing, and we’re even using a lot of Microsoft technology in-game, and they’ve been giving us a lot of help, so we’re going to do everything we can to collaborate with Xbox.
By the way, speaking of the game in question, my colleague Adrián had the pleasure of being able to test it at Gamescom 2022 and was very surprised. I leave you here your impressions.
