Microsoft’s recent decision to close studios such as Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, responsible for Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall, respectively, generated great criticism and uncertainty in the Xbox community.
In this scenario of internal restructuring and questions about the future of its gaming strategy, Microsoft considered the possibility of increasing the price of Xbox Game Pass, its popular subscription service.
According to The Verge’s sources, the company’s internal debate reflects the search for a balance between revenue creation and consumer loyalty.
The future of Xbox Game Pass and its impact on the video game market is uncertain. The company faces the challenge of redefining the future of its business model, marked by falling hardware sales and the need to find new ways to generate revenue.
Despite the uncertainties, Xbox remains committed to offering high-impact games. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, scheduled for release on May 21, is one of the most anticipated titles. However, the possibility of Hellblade 2 being released for PlayStation 5, as speculated by The Verge, demonstrates Microsoft’s search for new partnerships and platforms for its games in order to increase the financial return on its investments.
The future of Xbox will depend on the company’s ability to adapt to changes in the market, find a balance between its financial objectives and the needs of players, and guarantee the quality and relevance of its titles in an increasingly competitive landscape.
