Microsoft has long shared its ambitions to reach over 2 billion players. With an opening posted in recent years, one would have thought that the Xbox Game Pass would arrive on other consoles competing with the Xbox, but that should not be the case.

Xbox Game Pass will not go on consoles competing with Xbox

We recently discussed the success of Xbox Game Pass in our article on the discontinuation of the Xbox Live Gold 12 month subscription . With more than 10 million subscribers, the Game Pass has reached a plateau that is difficult to reach and is now on an upward slope to reach more and more players.

The integration of the xCloud service in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will add a new bowstring of the service that will transform your mobile phone into a game screen. Tomorrow, an Xbox console will no longer be necessary to play Xbox games.

Xbox Game Pass on Playstation or Nintendo Switch: Microsoft says NO

So you might think that Microsoft wants to go even further in the future and offer Xbox Game Pass on any platform that would accept to stream Xbox game streams. However, and even if Phil Spencer had mentioned his desire to bring the Game Pass to as many screens as possible, Microsoft will not necessarily go to the competition, as mentioned with GameStar .

The problem with other gaming console platforms is that we aren't able to bring the full Xbox experience to it.
We know that when someone plays one of our Xbox games, they expect their Xbox Live community, achievements, optional Game Pass, full library ... and other competing platforms. aren't really interested in having the full Xbox experience on their machine. But for us, we want to be where the players want to be, and that's where we are.
Microsoft has already shown some openings in the past, especially with Minecraft also available on Switch or PS4 while it is a game from Xbox studios . If we could easily imagine moving towards a less and less tight world between platforms, everything suggests that it will end there for the moment. For the moment, the Xbox Game Pass will remain a service offered on Xbox consoles, PCs, mobiles, and certainly tomorrow on televisions.
