Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has further discussed Xbox Game Pass, saying the subscription service is “not for everybody,” and that if every Game Pass subscriber canceled their membership and decided to buy games outright instead, that would be good for Microsoft as well.
So who is Game Pass for? Spencer told Variety it can be a “healthy option for certain people,” but he acknowledged that Microsoft isn’t trying to get everyone to sign up.
“It’s not for everybody. If you play one or two games a year, Game Pass probably isn’t the right business model for you; you should just buy those two games, and that would make total sense,” he said. “But I want you to have the choice. So we remain focused on everything that’s on Game Pass is also available to buy.”
