It was established in March 2000, spun out from an internal Games Group, for the development and publishing of video games for Microsoft Windows. Xbox Game Studios (previously known as Microsoft Studios, Microsoft Game Studios, and Microsoft Games) is an American video game publisher and part of the Microsoft Gaming division based in Redmond, Washington.

And we’ll see if Game Pass itself will keep its price the same, or if that’s destined to go up soon as well.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Microsoft is about to launch a bunch of somewhat fixed-length games and they want you to pay more than $1 to beat them. So, that’s my guess as to why this is happening, and why this is happening now. 20 million Spider-Man and God of War sales last generation alone, to start with. That may not get them all the “consumer-friendly” praise that Microsoft gets for Game Pass, but it does get them…millions of dollars. Sony, meanwhile, now gets to sell millions of copies of its game at $70. Microsoft already has to justify Game Pass’ offerings of new first party games for the monthly sub, but I imagine that gets a lot harder with a slate of upcoming releases that could be acquired and beaten within that $1 first month. This is the difference between Microsoft’s Game Pass philosophy and Sony’s “we’re almost never going to do big game launches within subscriptions” model.
Starfield, being a mainline Bethesda game, probably has a few hundred hours buried in it, if not thousands, like past Fallout and Elder Scrolls games, but exploration and multiple playthroughs aside, it is fundamentally a single player game you could beat in a month if you were looking to only spend a buck to play it on Xbox or PC. My guess is that Redfall, certainly, could be completed within a month, if not a week of hardcore play.
