However, Phil Spencer, the head of the Xbox division, has already mentioned that we should prepare for <strong>another price increase for Xbox Game Pass in the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the <strong>Tokyo Game Show<\/strong>, Spencer reaffirmed in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/game.watch.impress.co.jp\/docs\/interview\/1533808.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Game Watch<\/a> that it&#8217;s &#8220;inevitable&#8221; for Game Pass to increase in price. He said, &#8220;While the primary goal is to provide greater value, <strong>I think it&#8217;s inevitable that prices will increase in the future<\/strong>. We recently raised our prices, but the decision was made after careful consideration. We believe it&#8217;s important to offer services that are recognized as having sufficient value even if prices go up.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2023 Digital Broadcast\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2KK-1j_brg0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing with the information about Xbox Game Pass, Spencer was asked about the possibility of Xbox Game Pass coming to other consoles or even to Steam. The head of Xbox said that its arrival on &#8220;PlayStation and Nintendo is even more difficult than on Steam,&#8221; but he left the door open. He stated, &#8220;However, since we are also a publisher that releases titles for PlayStation and Nintendo, <strong>I think it&#8217;s important to think about how to offer those Xbox games on platforms like PlayStation and Nintendo<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extensive interview with the Japanese media is full of interesting details, such as Spencer mentioning that he will meet with Hideo Kojima next week to see how the development of his game with Xbox is progressing. Furthermore, he also emphasized that they are &#8220;<strong>working with Japanese creators to develop new games<\/strong>,&#8221; although these games cannot be announced at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Xbox\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/29cd10f4-b3a3-4285-9ac1-f837137115a6\/373564342\/xbox-icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Xbox<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division, announces that it is &#8220;inevitable&#8221; that Xbox Game Pass will rise in price again in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9091,"featured_media":250765,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1018,1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-250762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9091"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250762"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":317722,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250762\/revisions\/317722"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250762"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=250762"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=250762"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=250762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
