Xbox-pomo Phil Spencer on aiemmin sanonut, että Xbox Game Passin valikoimiin päätyminen auttaa pelien myynneissä. Games Industryn mukaan Descendersin luoja Mike Rose on paljastanut, että hänen pelinsä myynnit nelinkertaistuivat.
Lisää hyvää mainosta Xbox Game Passille, siis.
"Since Descenders came out on Game Pass, the thing I did not realise would happen -- because you'd assume that you put something on Game Pass and sales tank, right? I had assumed that: why would anyone buy the game when they can literally see it on Game Pass?"
"Sounded like bullshit, right?. Weirdly, it's true. It surprised me. Being on Game Pass means that you basically have constant featuring on Xbox. You're game is on the dashboard all the time... People are seeing our game every day.
And because of that, during launch month, our Xbox sales -- we didn't do any discounts on it or anything -- quadrupled, and have now settled to about three times as much as before. It's essentially an advert; a straight up advert. And now Xbox is asking, 'Oh, can we feature Descenders in more of the Game Pass advertising?' Yes, you can. Of course you fucking can.
