Intimates: Xbox Game Pass and Subscriptions

Video Games

Checkpoint Intimates is a weekly podcast where two members of the team go one-on-one on a topic that they both feel strongly about, talking in a more deeper and, yes, intimate context.

This week, Elliot and Luke talk about Xbox Game Pass. The subscription service has been running for a while now, but what does it mean for the games industry long-term, should it be successful? What does it mean for developers? What is the impact of releasing a game onto a service such as this on day one, in terms of revenue? We discuss whether or not Xbox Game Pass is a positive or negative thing for the games industry as a whole.

Giving a 1-UP to diversity in gaming.
