Xbox Game Pass har blivit en till synes stor succé för Microsoft och många uppskattar att kunna ladda hem helt nya spel som Forza Horizon 4 eller Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden utan att behöva betala annat än prenumerationen för detta. Och om vi får tro ID@Xbox-chef Chris Charla är tjänsten extra bra för just indie-utvecklare som på detta sätt får chansen att nå ut till långt fler.
I en intervju med Stevivor säger han:
"We've paid more than a billion dollars in royalties to independent developers in the past 4-5 years. We have this great marketplace but there's still a lot of people that don't know about all these games. By putting these games in Game Pass, developers get this opportunity. People are getting to download these games at no additional cost, they check out a lot of games, they're playing these games. They're popping achievements which are showing up on the community hub. They're streaming the games on Mixer.
We knew that Game Pass was going to be a really great value proposition for players and we of course worked to make sure that it's a great value proposition for developers on the business side. We maybe didn't understand what a great discovery tool it was going to be. It's actually turning out to be a really interesting discovery tool for a lot of developers to have their game in Game Pass. People are playing it, their friends see it, they start buying."
Håller du med Charla? är detta en tjänst som är extra bra för indie-utvecklare?
Vad tycker du själv om Xbox Game Pass?
