Spencer, head of Microsoft Xbox: it is inevitable that XGP prices will rise in the future, and it is important to provide services with sufficient value.

CTOnews.com September 24 news, Microsoft Xbox director Phil Spencer interviewed foreign media Game Watch during the Tokyo Game Show and asked whether Xbox Game Pass (XGP) prices would rise in the future. Spencer said that this is inevitable. "although the main premise is to provide more value, I think future price increases are inevitable." We have raised the price recently, but this is a decision made after careful consideration. We believe that even if prices rise, it is important to provide services that are considered to be of sufficient value. "

CTOnews.com noted that foreign media raised a "bold" question: "will Nintendo, PlayStation and Steam games be played on XGP in the future?" Spencer said: "first of all, with regard to PC Game Pass, because it is on the same PC platform as Steam, we think it provides users with a choice. As for PlayStation and Nintendo, it is more difficult than Steam."

"however, since we are also a publisher of games to PlayStation and Nintendo, I think it is also important to think about how to provide Xbox games to PlayStation and Nintendo platforms." He pointed out.

Spencer believes that the real success of Xbox lies in more people playing Xbox games, not limited to XGP, whether on Xbox consoles, PC, cloud games or other consoles. "We want to expand the Xbox gaming community," Spencer said.
