Xbox Game Pass on muuttanut miljoonien ihmisten tavana pelata videopelejä kuukausimaksulla. Onko siis olemassa mahdollisuus, etteivät ihmiset enää halua ostaa pelejä, koska niitä voi vain latailla ja pelata kuukausimaksulla?
Asiaan otti kantaa Euroopan Segan "senior vice president of commercial publishing" Anna Downing puhuessaan Eurogamerille. Niin Sega kuin Microsoft ovat olleet Xbox Game Passiin erittäin tyytyväisiä.
"We're really happy with the results and we hope [Microsoft] are too. Ultimately, they wanted quality titles, we wanted to take advantage of a great new opportunity."
Lisäksi Two Point Hospital saavutti maailmanmaineen juuri Xbox Game Passin ansiosta.
"[It] helped propel the franchise to over 3 million players worldwide. That's a huge benefit of being on Game Pass, it strengthens the exposure you get to a huge first-party audience... That surge in engagement in turn helps to further establish your product in the marketplace. It's great for us and it's great for consumers who get to experience something they may not have engaged with outside of the Game Pass model."
