Xbox’s strategy does not lag behind venture projects such as narrative-focused games.
Microsoft’s Phil Spencer said that it’s no secret that live streaming games are now big money-making players, but that doesn’t mean that more traditional story-driven games have no place. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Xbox Explains how narrative single player games become part of the platform’s future strategy.

“I think we may build more now than in Xbox history,” Spencer told the Guardian, emphasizing the need to support higher-risk projects, which in turn will lead to wider demos and through Xbox Game Pass and streaming Technology xCloud is the first to experience.
Xbox will achieve this diversity by not forcing its team to make any particular style of games.
Matt Booty, the head of Microsoft Studios, said: “We don’t have any direction or instructions that every game must be a continuous, continuous game. “Take Psychonauts: there may be a Psychonauts 3, but I don’t Will tell [designer] Tim Schafer (Tim Schafer) go. Knowing the history of the games he made, I don’t think he will make a game that has a season and lasts for five years. “
Both Spencer and Matt Booty emphasize the need to expand the scope of successful game studios and expand the types of stories that Microsoft can tell in the process. For this reason, studios in areas that are not traditionally hotbeds for game development are playing a role.
“If this didn’t happen, I would actually be surprised,” Spencer said, commenting on the potential of acquiring studios outside of the larger development market.
“Just know the talents and tools available [such as game engines Unity and Unreal] Easier to obtain… If in the next three to five years, you won’t see many studios in places that are not traditional video game development centers, I would be surprised. “
This is not the first time Phil Spencer has made important opinions on the direction of the game. He recently compared the next-generation graphics jump with the transition from 2D to 3D, and he remains optimistic about the continued support of Game Pass.
