Xbox fans have reason to celebrate as the hugely popular Xbox Game Pass may soon be available on additional platforms. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer recently hinted at the possibility during a press event.
Game Pass: The Budget Gamer's Dream
Xbox has long been known as the go-to console for budget gamers, offering the cheapest current-gen console on the market. The Xbox Series S can be purchased for as little as £180 brand new, and with Xbox Game Pass, players gain access to a vast library of games for less than £10 per month.
Xbox's Mobile Gaming Ambitions
Microsoft's recent bid to acquire Activision Blizzard for $69 billion was primarily driven by the desire to own King, one of the world's largest mobile game publishers. King is famous for its popular mobile games, including the widely beloved Candy Crush franchise.
Xbox CEO Phil Spencer confirmed the company's commitment to mobile gaming during a recent event in São Paulo. He stated that mobile gaming is an important part of their strategy and that they are actively working on expanding their presence in the mobile gaming market.
Expanding Game Pass and Monetization Options
With the acquisition of King, Xbox took its first step toward establishing a stronger mobile presence. However, the company aims to go even further by potentially expanding Xbox Game Pass and offering more monetization options.
Spencer emphasized the importance of choice and stated that Xbox wants to ensure its relevance not just today but also in the future. He expressed the need to be strong across multiple screens, indicating Xbox's ambition to bring Game Pass to various platforms.
Competition in the Mobile Gaming Space
While Xbox is relatively new to the mobile gaming scene, other streaming services have already ventured into this realm. Netflix, for example, offers nearly 100 games as part of its standard subscription.
It remains to be seen how Xbox will navigate the competitive mobile gaming landscape, but fans can look forward to more gaming options and potentially the expansion of Game Pass to new platforms.
