Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4? Phil Spencer comments on rumors about working with Sony and Nintendo

Game Director Microsoft Phil Spencer constantly advocates avoiding console wars and speaks of the desire to bring the Xbox brand “beyond the limits of one console”, and games and services – to the maximum possible number of screens. This leads to the emergence of rumors about the desire of the American software giant to launch Xbox Game Pass and xCloud on platforms like Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4

However, in reality, nothing of the kind is foreseen, Spencer said in a recent interview about the Xbox Game Pass service, of which xCloud will become a part this fall.

As explained by a top Microsoft manager, Xbox Game Pass is an integral part of the Xbox ecosystem, which also implies the use of the Xbox Live service, a unified achievement system across all platforms, shared friends lists and other components. When these elements are disconnected, the idea of ​​the ecosystem will collapse, and Microsoft has completely different plans for it.

Spencer said that rival companies with Microsoft are not interested in the appearance on their platforms “full Xbox package”… Accordingly, it will implement it on other devices outside of its consoles, such as PCs and mobile devices.

“We work where gamers want to be, and this is the path we go,” summed up a Microsoft spokesman.

At the same time, the company remains friendly towards other manufacturers. For example, she continues to develop Minecraft on the Nintendo and PlayStation consoles.
