Xbox yesterday kicked off the Tokyo Game Show 2022 with a conference full of announcements, new additions for Game Pass and the umpteenth demonstration that the North American company is going all out in Japanese territory. Now, the head of Microsoft’s video game division, Phil Spencer, has given an interview that has left juicy headlines. In that sense, Phil Spencer has referred to the possible acquisition of more studios and he is very clear about it: “we are going to continue to be active”, he said in a chat with the Squawk Asia portal and whose statements he has picked up the popular tweeter Klobrille.
To the question “are you still looking for more studios to acquire, make more investments in video games, or will you pause after Activision Blizzard?” this has been the complete answer of Phil Spencer: “I don’t think we have to pause anything. We want to offer great content to our players and we will continue to be active.”commented the head of Xbox, making it clear, once again, that the acquisition of new studios to join the ranks of Xbox Game Studios does not respond to specific whims of Microsoft, but rather is a long-term strategy with the objective of nurturing Xbox Game Pass with a multitude of high-quality content.
Xbox Series S is the reason for Xbox’s growth in Asia, according to Phil Spencer
Today we brought you more statements from the last hours of Phil Spencer in which he ratified Xbox’s intention to do not raise the price of your consoles, contrary to what Sony has launched in recent weeks. During the interview with Squawk Asia, Spencer has also pointed out that he is still a lot of work to do in Asia or that exclusivity is the fundamental pillar of the industry and that it wants to reach more audiences with the Xbox ecosystem both on consoles and on PC and in the cloud, among other topics discussed.
