Recently, in a report for the British regulator, Microsoft admitted that the appearance of games as part of the Game Pass reduces their direct sales. On February 14, the corporation gave a comment to the Eurogamer portal, in which it stated that despite everything, its subscription remains an attractive option for developers.
Microsoft indicated that the Game Pass increases the popularity of games added to the subscription. In addition, the corporation itself is always trying to find an individual approach to each developer and offer lucrative contracts that include, among other things, the payment of monetary compensation.
Microsoft did not specify how many developers are currently using the subscription, but noted that their number continues to grow.
