The Xbox Game Pass, one of Microsoft’s greatest assets
Just this week we announced the major new arrivals for the month of August in Xbox Game Pass. Among the titles cited were Ubisoft’s Breath of the Wild-like, Immortals Fenyx Rising as well as a small gallery of titles consisting of more than fascinating independent games. For players progressing on the Microsoft side, Xbox Game Pass is a safe bet that, despite some very sad launches like this month, will allow you to discover an invaluable number of video games at a lower cost.
To stay competitive, the Redmond-based company doesn’t hesitate to pull out the checkbook or formalize completely crazy partnerships, as we saw during Summer Game Fest the arrival of three plants the license persona. When it comes to big beasts, Microsoft knows how to do it : while Cult games from Bethesda complete the cataloguesucceeds the American company the very nice shot of being able to afford an old PlayStation exclusivelyto know death stranding, in his PC Game Pass. Apart from the additives that make noise, there are also the arrivals… very surprising, all the more so when one is aware of the price paid by Microsoft!
An investment that is really worth it?
As of August 11, there’s a game that’s not really popular anymore, according to the site’s stats SteamDB – which have interfered with the Xbox Game Pass catalogue. The game in question is none other than Cooking Simulator, a title that, according to the website in question, shone much more for the views it generated on Twitch than for its viewership : The largest concurrent player peak since its release was 3500. However, this would only match Steam’s figures as the studio claimed that more than 700,000 copies have been sold since release.
Which is extremely amazing indeed as the website shows. TwistedVoxel, is the amount Microsoft spends to get the game in its Game Pass. From the Polish developers of Big Cheese Studio, It’s a golden deal they signed with Microsoft because the sum raised represents 22% of all revenue the company generated in the past fiscal year and would be around $600,000 ! An exorbitant amount for a 2019 title, which, more generally, raises the question of the price intended for acquiring very, very large titles, as is currently the case death stranding.
