Microsoft har fået stor succes med deres Game Pass-tjeneste, men det sker hovedsageligt igennem mindre indie-titler samt det faktum at samtlige Xbox-eksklusiver rammer tjenesten på lanceringsdatoen. Selvom en række store tredjepartstitler løbende tilføjes, så er det klart at udgivere er tilbageholdende. Blandt andet Take-Twos Private Division føler at tjenesten skal yderligere bevise sit værd, før de vil smide potentiel indtjening væk til fordel for Game Pass.
For nylig talte Private Division-chefen Michael Worosz med MCV, og her sagde at han at Microsoft fortsat har arbejde foran sig med Game Pass.
"Right now it seems clear that Microsoft is trying to accrue value to their Game Pass value proposition, by having uniquely available content there. I think that makes sense to a degree, I think they're going to have to demonstrate Game Pass's growth over time to be able to continue to do acquisitions like this, and if it does work for them, then I can see them doing more acquisitions to build out exclusive content."
"Certain developers want to to be independent for that reason, they've worked at larger companies and want to be able to control their own destiny to a larger degree, they want more creative freedom. Having a larger corporate parent, particularly one with a trillion dollar market cap like Microsoft, sometimes gets in the way."
