“When I look at Game Pass, we are absolutely going to make money on Starfield, touch wood, that’s the plan.
According to Spencer, the company looks at it as being about expanding the reach of Microsoft’s titles, and believes that Starfield will prompt further growth of the subscription. Spencer then talked about making use of the massive reach that PC and Xbox Game Pass has afforded Microsoft to ensure that Starfield gets in the hands of as many players as it possibly can. “What you did on old school consoles is you said,” continued Spencer, “how many consoles are you going to sell because Halo 2 launches, how long will those players stay on the platform, and how many games will they buy, and does that make it more cost-effective to keep the game exclusive to your platform?” Nobody ever asked me, how does the for this game work when you’re not selling it everywhere you can sell it?” “And we’re not shipping it on Nintendo, we’re not shipping it on Sony. “Let’s say we’re going to go ship Halo 2,” Spencer said. Speaking during the Giant Bomb at Nite Show after the Xbox Game Showcase, Spencer explained how the company uses Game Pass to get better reach for its video game releases, and uses the release of Halo 2 as an example of the kinds of decisions that are made around video game releases. Despite the fact that Game Pass subscribers will be able to play massively-anticipated upcoming sci-fi RPG Starfield without having to buy it, Xbox boss Phil Spencer believes that the company will definitely make money on the title’s release.
