Xbox Head: The Game Pass model is inevitable that competitors will appear

In a recent interview with IGN, Xbox boss Phil Spencer echoed recent rumors that Sony intends to make playStation Plus a Game Pass model, saying that competitors who will emerge with such a model are "inevitable" because it is the "right answer."

Phil Spencer said:

"I don't want to make it sound like we've got everything done [on Xbox], but I think the right thing to do is to give your customers the game they want to play whenever and wherever they want, let them choose how to build their own library, and be transparent about our plans for PC and cross-generation console games."

So when I hear about other people doing something like bringing a Game Pass to pc, I think it makes sense because I think that's the right answer... I don't see this as a testament to [the Xbox strategy], I see it more as inevitable. ”

In December, Bloomberg reported rumors that the PlayStation Plus would change dramatically, with the service becoming more like a Game Pass subscription on Xbox. If this rumor is true, then the new PlayStation Plus will have 3 levels of subscriptions, the first level will be basically the same as the existing PlayStaiton Plus service, players need this service to play the online mode of the game; the second level of subscription will allow players to play a large number of PS4 and later PS5 games; as for the final third level is based on the first and second levels, adding the function of allowing players to stream games, More classic PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games will be added to the game library. From this point of view, the third level of subscription will be relatively close to Microsoft's existing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

In any case, Sony does not have any rumors about this PlayStation Plus overhaul, so whether it is true or not is unknown, but I believe that this change will also be more popular with players.
