På Xbox Game Pass får man udover adgang til mere end 100 titler for 79 kr. om måneden også lov mulighed for at spille alle Microsofts first party-spil på udgivelsensdagen. Det er et fristende tilbud for mange, hvilket har ledt til spekulation om, hvorvidt man kunstigt holder prisen lav for at lokke flere brugere ind på Xbox's økosystemer.
I den nyeste episode af podcasten Dropped Frames, som VGC har transskriberet, adresser Xbox-chef, Phil Spencer, denne bekymring.
"I'll be honest, there are developers that have some concerns, and my inbox is there, and I have conversations with a lot of those developers asking what are our real long-term goals? You know we get questions about 'hey, is this just some kind of go secure a bunch of players and then rack the price up to a new level?' I say there's no plan for us to do anything like that. We like the value that Game Pass is today and from a business model it's completely sustainable the way it is and I mean that," lyder det fra Spencer.
Med lanceringen af Xbox Series S/X d. 10 november bliver EA Play også en del af Xbox Game Pass. Her skal du dog have et Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Abonnement, der koster 99 kr. om måneden og inkluderer muligheden for at spille mod andre on-line.
