Times of change are what we’re living in these days, services eat more and more of the cake, game streaming even subscriptions like Xbox Game Pass and the new PlayStation Plus model. Options that attract more and more users and attract more and more subscribers and developers.
In the case of Xbox Game Pass, its profitability for developers has been questioned a lot. The prophets of doom spoke of “killing the industry”, when in fact it is the other way around. The Xbox model is transforming the industry and helping many creators make more money and even make their games more profitable.
Xbox Game Pass is the best option for smaller publishers
In t his house we already advance exclusively thanks to the interview we did with Locomalito, that Microsoft is paying an interesting amount to bring the game to Xbox Game Pass. Damn Castile EX it was one of the first games to enter the service
Now another developer has launched to tell his experience, it is the creator of Trek To Yomi, a game that we analyze in this house and that won the hearts of users and critics. On his Twitter account, he assured that the agreement with Game Pass brought in more than the sales it generated on the Sony platform.
I guarantee you that Trek To Yomi made more money from Game Pass than from Playstation sales. We were paid very well to be on Game Pass and we weren’t even part of a marketing deal, Trek To Yomi was a full Game Pass promotion. Just a little food for thought.
The console war stuff is extremely toxic, that’s not what I’m here for. I didn’t post this because of the fucking video game consoles. I posted this because I was thinking about my personal experience working with Xbox and knowing how great Game Pass deals can be, that’s pretty cool.
