One of Microsoft’s great workhorses for this generation is Xbox Game Pass. The company’s subscription service is divided into PCs, consoles such as Xbox One or Xbox Series X / S and even mobile devices, offering a great number of titles in your catalog.
Now, through an interview with GamesRadar +, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has addressed the question that said service reaches other platforms and systems. Specifically, he has been asked about whether he would see possible Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch.
“We have no plans to bring it to any other kind of closed platforms at the moment, mainly because those closed platforms don’t want something like Game Pass. There are a ton of open platforms that we can grow on: the web, PC and mobile devices. So that frankly our entire focus is on those platforms. “
All in all, Spencer understands that the introduction of an alien element such as Game Pass is a change that can be seen as “disruptive”. Despite this, he insists that they are in favor of taking the service to platforms that want it. “We are totally open to those conversations,” he says.

On the other hand, the manager has expressed his opinion about the “console war”, a section of the industry that he denies. “I think we should focus on fun , the ease of use of video games and his total accessibility, is the correct strategy. And I think the industry will move in that direction, because that’s what the players will demand. “
Spencer has also pointed out that “if you buy a Switch, and want to play Minecraft, I buy my children a PlayStation … if they can’t play together, that doesn’t help the games growFrom his perspective, this type of situation helps “one device to win over another, but it does not help the industry.”
