Phil Spencer believes that competition will eventually adopt the Game Pass model

Xbox Game Pass (Computer version: PC Game Pass) is a Microsoft subscription solution for video games and also can be utilized with Xbox One, Xbox Series and Windows 10. The solution was released on June 1, 2017, while Xbox Live gold clients obtained top priority on May 24.

It is of these questions that come back in all situations, as who would do Maneuver? But also It would say Phil Spencer? IGN understood and did not wait until PlayStation confirms his plans concerning the redesign Sentence of his subscriptions before going to ask his opinion on the pattern of the Xbox.

Recall that according to Jason Schrader's information for Bloomberg, Sony Interactive Entertainment would consider merging its PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscriptions to give birth to a new more robust female. This redesign of Code Spartacus would offer, on paper, different levels, one of which could even include a library of classic PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games in addition to the traditional benefits of PlayStation Plus and the PlayStation Now that one Know today.

Nothing in this rumor does not mention any appearance of the games PlayStation Studios on the day of their release in the subscription, but the idea of ​​presenting this new formula as an answer to the Xbox Game Pass has already made its way. Having not yet announced for the moment, we do not really know what Phil Spencer was supposed to react, but the pattern of the Xbox took the opportunity to welcome the choices made in recent years by Microsoft (subscription, retrocompatibility, games Multiplatform), choices that will be adopted by the competition sooner or later.

I do not want to give the impression of having understood everything, but I think the good answer is to allow his customers to play the games they want to play, where they want to play, and give the choice of The way to build their libraries, while remaining transparent on the objectives in terms of PC initiatives or cross-gen initiatives and other things. So when I hear others do things like Game Pass or want to come on PC, it seems to me feeling, because it's the right answer. I do not see that like a validation. In fact, when I speak with the teams, I speak of inevitability. For us, we must continue to innovate, to be competitive because there are things we do that can Being an advantage for this market today, but it's just based on the fact that we did it first, not that we have created something that no one else can do. I like that, because it feeds our energy over the next things we should work while continuing to develop the things we have made in the past. Because I think the right answer is to deliver great games., to deliver them on PC, to deliver them on console, to deliver them on the cloud, to make them available the first day in the subscription. And I think that's what our competitor will do. If the good results exclusives PlayStation on PC (and the shortage of the new generation consoles) are factors suggesting that SHE could accelerate his presence on PC, the biggest bet of Phil Spencer is undoubtedly to think that his rival would also end up By integrating its main games from the first day in a subscription, which would include titles like Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarök and Gran Tourism 7. In November 2019, Jim Ryan was still clearly opposed to this idea, but the boss of PlayStation himself recognized that the future could reserve surprises.
