After more than three years since Microsoft launched Xbox Game Pass, people might still have their doubts about how good of a service and business model it is. As for some third-party developers, though, the subscription-based platforms have significantly helped boost the popularity of their games.
Xbox Game Pass is helping increase games’ engagement
Eurogamer recently released a comprehensive story trying to determine if Xbox Game Pass is “too good to be true.” To answer the question, some game developers and publishers were asked about their experience working with Microsoft, particularly in putting their games to the subscription service.
Sega Europe senior vice president of commercial publishing Anna Downing offered an interesting insight on the matter. The gaming exec called it a “great opportunity” and revealed that the platform helped their game “Two Point Hospital” surpass three million active players worldwide.
A deep-dive into the future of subscription gaming. Updated on 18 February 2021
Video game subscriptions are all the rage. Or, maybe that s not quite right. It
looks like video game subscriptions
will be all the rage, in the
not too distant future,
if things carry on in the direction they re going right now. Right now, of course, people are getting their games in more or less the same ways they always have - buying them outright, or downloading them as initially free-to-play - but right now, too, the biggest tech companies around are toying with their own, subscription-based alternatives. Google has Stadia Pro, Amazon is rolling out Luna (alongside Prime Gaming, formerly Twitch Prime), Apple has Apple Arcade, and more internally to the industry itself there are plenty more, from EA Play and Ubisoft+ to PlayStation Now and, sitting atop the monthly payment pyramid above all, Xbox Game Pass.
Sega Europe vice president of commercial publishing Anna Downing is "really happy" with the results of adding games to Xbox Game Pass. Downing notes that putting Two Point Hospital in the service helped push the franchise over 3 million players.
