Xbox Game Pass is the service of Microsoft with which you can test different titles with a monthly subscription. Despite its growth in recent months, critics have pointed out whether it benefits both the company and developer studios. Phil Spencer, boss Xbox, has dispelled the doubts:
In a recent interview with Stephen Tolio, the video game analyst of Axio and ex-editor of Kotaku, Phil Spencer answered the following: ‘You could do the math on Xbox Game Pass. I know you don’t know how many people are subscribed or how much each person is paying, but you can do it by getting informed and doing the math on what we think might be part of the market. ‘
Director of Xbox ends by concluding: “Absolutely Xbox Game Pass is sustainable.” In addition, he added that this model of subscriptions for video games is not the main focus of the company, but a part of the entire strategy.
The growth of Xbox Game Pass
In this same interview, Spencer spoke about the growth of this service: ‘I know there are a lot of people writing that we are burning our money for a pot of gold at the end of the road. But it’s not like that. Xbox Game Pass is very sustainable right now and continues to grow‘
Xbox Game Pass began operating in June 2017 and has become one of the pillars of the videogames department of Microsoft with more than 18 million subscriptions as of January 2021, according to the report of VGC.
Spencer dispels doubts regarding the other branches of the company: ‘Xbox Game Pass is not the only thing that is growing on Xbox. It is not the only focus of the organization, although it is sustainable by itself. ‘
Currently, this service is attractive to many people, as it offers more than 100 titles for PC, consoles and mobile devices via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
