Xbox wants to team up with PlayStation in the future Microsoft \/ SonyGaming giant Microsoft has expressed its interest in teaming up with competitors like Sony and Nintendo to bring Xbox Game Pass to their consoles \u2013 whether that\u2019s on the Switch, PlayStation 4, or future systems. Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft\u2019s answer to a Netflix-inspired subscription service, where users can access a catalogue of games for a set monthly fee, and is similar to that of Sony\u2019s PlayStation Now. The feature was brought over to PC in June, and now the gaming giant wants to bring it to new systems \u2013 competitors\u2019 ones specifically. Game Pass on \u201call\u201d systems In a short but sweet interview with video games outlet Gamereactor during Gamescom 2019, Xbox Head of Gaming Services Ben Decker revealed the company\u2019s future plans for its subscription service. Read More: What will the PlayStation 5 look like? – \u201cYou know, we would like to see Game Pass on all platforms ultimately and I think that is a long term goal. We don\u2019t have any specific plans today, but we would love to see Game Pass really go everywhere,\u201d Decker said. While a specific system wasn\u2019t revealed, \u201call platforms\u201d could mean that the gaming giant would like to see its service on its rivals\u2019 consoles \u2013 ie. the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Rumors of Game Pass making its way to the Switch swirled back in March of this year, however nothing concrete was ever confirmed. Xbox has worked with the child-friendly developer since though, bringing previously exclusive titles such as Cuphead and Ori and the Blind Forest to the handheld. This isn\u2019t the only time that the company has echoed its wants for its subscription service to be available on other consoles. Back in June, Xbox head Phil Spencer talked to Giant Bomb about the rumored collaboration with Nintendo, and stated that he would like to see Game Pass on as many systems as possible. \u201cI have said over time I\u2019d like to take Game Pass everywhere. I saw somebody joke I\u2019d put Game Pass on the toaster if I could \u2013 I don\u2019t know about that.\u201d Read More: Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay stream – \u201cI want to have the best console experience because of what it gives you,\u201d he continued. \u201cI want you to be sitting on the couch with an amazing experience \u2013 it sounds great, I have access to any game that I want to play, and if I want to take that while I\u2019m on the go, I think the Switch is a really cool platform for that. It\u2019s just that in the near-term, it\u2019s kind of hard for us to prioritize different than we are today.\u201d (Timestamp of 28:16 for mobile viewers.) The idea of Microsoft and Sony striking a deal to bring the Pass over to PlayStation might seem like a long shot to some, but the claim of \u201call platforms\u201d could mean that Xbox is seriously considering trying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
