In an interview, Phil Spencer explains the positive aspects of the service.
Many of you probably know this, but Xbox Game Pass is that service that allows players to access a catalog of more than 500 games for Xbox and PC. But how does it work for developers or for Microsoft?
Phil Spencer, Xbox bossexplains in an interview that Game Pass is not only a way to distribute games, but also to finance the creation of new content
“I also really like that these games are available on other platforms, which not all development teams do, because that way they can use the Game Pass community feature to sell more. copies on Steam or PlayStation.”
He also claims that Xbox Game Pass allows developers to take more risks and innovate, while giving players more choice and diversity.
“Is Game Pass some sort of risk mitigation opportunity for developers?
Of course. I could talk about it as a way for teams to aspire to innovate a bit more outside of a safe zone, because they have a guaranteed source of revenue from us. We have direct reports from teams saying “we wouldn’t have done this if we didn’t know Game Pass existed.”
Eventually, Phil Spencer believes that Xbox Game Pass is an opportunity for the video game industry to renew and grow. Use the example of 33 Immortals.
“I think that’s a good thing for the industry, because for example, we have dev teams doing things like 33-player co-op raids on 33 Immortals.”
