Phil Spencer assures Xbox will not stop selling games for the sake of Xbox Game Pass

The head of XboxPhil Spencer recently spoke about Xbox Game Pass, about how consumer habits around the subscription service won’t affect how Xbox sells games to any radical extent. talking to the medium The Verge Earlier this month, Spencer stated that Xbox will not stop selling games it offers through Game Pass.

According to Spencer, the subscription service is an “interesting” business model for some games, and helps diversify players’ gaming options. Gamers buying and owning games remain a core part of the company’s business.

“We don’t have this vision of everyone paying us $15 a month. We believe that subscription is an interesting business model for certain types of games and for certain customers. I really see it as diversifying how people build their game library or how creators reach the customers they want to reach with the content they create. It will always be part of the business, in my opinion. I think the people who buy and own their games will be an important part of the business for years to come.”

Spencer then states that giving players the choice to decide how they play and what they play is important to Xbox.

“That’s why you don’t see us making exclusive games on the subscription or trying to turn people away from buying games. “We love it when people buy their games. It’s fantastic. We also like when people subscribe. What we’re really looking at is if we can get more people to play more games and make it easy for every player who wants to play.”
