Head of Xbox Gaming Phil Spencer told in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella did not give the team Xbox Game Studios no signal to reduce the rate of acquisition of studios.
“Within a short period of time, we have acquired quite a few new studios and now we want to make sure that they occupy the right place in the family,” Spencer said.
“For me and Matt Butie [глава Xbox Game Studios] it was important to treat newly arrived studios as full-fledged members of the organization. And they felt this support, “he added.
Now Microsoft is preparing to launch a new console and continues to release games on the PC. Demand for its products among PC gamers is only increasing.
“The Xbox Game Pass service library and the subscriber base continue to grow. We are launching a new console. In terms of profitability on the PC platform, last year was the most outstanding year for Xbox Game Studios. Many companies are doing well, so in the case of studios we always ask the price to new opportunities. “
Microsoft is trying to quickly provide its new studios with everything they need, including extra time to create games. At the same time, she continues to search for “suitable options” for the purchase.
“The first priority was to make sure that [новоприбывших] Studios have everything you need to create the best versions of their games. It is about increasing the development time and providing additional funds. We enjoy significant support from Microsoft CEO and CFO Satyya Nadella and Amy Hood. In general, there were no signals that we should slow down, except to just go at a pace that is supported by us as a leadership team. We are always in the process of communicating with people. But it should be a suitable option.“
According to recent rumor, Microsoft is one of several companies interested in a possible acquisition of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment from AT & T’s parent company. Nevertheless, as reported, the latter has not yet decided whether to sell it at all. Phil Spencer also wants to buy a Japanese studio for a long time.
