Xbox Game Pass won’t come to PlayStation or Nintendo

Phil Spencer cleared up doubts about whether Game Pass will be released on PlayStation and Nintendo. The CEO of Microsoft Gaming noted that he has no plans to bring the gaming service to competing consoles, as his CFO suggested.

In an interview with Windows CenterSpencer was straightforward and stated that no plans to release Game Pass on PlayStation or Nintendo. The head of Microsoft Gaming said that they are committed to focusing initiatives aimed at users committed to the platform. Before looking away, Phil Spencer said that They want Xbox owners to feel good about their investment..

“When I think about things like Game Pass, Cloud Gaming, cross-play, ID@Xbox and all those things, I want us to continue to innovate,” the manager said. “To make sure people on our platform feel like we’re investing in consoles that are consistent with their commitment to us.”

Phil Spencer said that Game Pass is an important part of the Xbox console identity and will remain so.. The head of the gaming division is aware that the gaming service is expanding into other horizons, such as mobile phones, smart TVs and other portable consoles. Microsoft’s strategy is to offer it on every possible screen, although for now they will not try to cross the line of their competitors.

What Phil Spencer said is a breath of fresh air for those who bought an Xbox Series X or Series S and are looking for exclusive content. The executive applauded the work his hardware team has put in to bring value and performance to home consoles.

Game Pass will be exclusive to Xbox (for now)

The current problem for Xbox is innovation in equipment and services. Phil Spencer mentioned the latest restructuring at the company, which saw key personnel placed in different areas to ensure a unified focus on the Xbox hardware, services and development platform. In addition, the company plans to share roadmaps of various divisions so that users know what’s coming next and leave feedback.

While the service is aimed at people who have invested in the console, Microsoft knows it needs new subscribers to generate more revenue. This was stated by the director of Microsoft Gaming. They invest over a billion dollars a year in adding third-party games to Game Pass.. Hence the need to expand to other areas such as Samsung Smart TVs or laptops such as Steam Deck, ROG Ally or Legion Go.

“We need to present a value proposition for creators and players so that it benefits everyone. And we were able to do that because of the Game Pass structure,” said Phil Spencer.
