Formerly, Spencer had actually been more open about the concept of a cross-platform Xbox Game Pass as a long-lasting goal.
You may be waiting even longer for that dream to end up being a reality if you were hoping that Xbox Game Pass would be readily available soon on PlayStation or Nintendo Switch.
” The thing about other video gaming console platforms is were unable to bring a complete Xbox experience on those platforms,” Spencer said. “The other competitive platforms actually arent interested in having a complete Xbox experience on their hardware. However for us, we want to be where players want to be and thats the path that were on.”
However Spencer states that the full Xbox experience– that includes achievements, the Xbox Live community, and a full video game library– wont equate to various consoles, which he thinks about a deal-breaker.
Xbox head Phil Spencer said in a video interview with GameStar that the likelihood of the subscription service, which uses video games on both Xbox and PC, launching on a Sony or Nintendo platform is low. While it was always a far-fetched dream that the service would be offered on PlayStation, Microsoft and Nintendo have recently started to use cross-play and a few Microsoft first-party games, like Ori and the Blind Forest and Hellblade, have actually released on Nintendo Switch.
