In an interview with Bloomberg, Sarah Bond explains the benefits of Game Pass. She says that “importantly, you get every single one of our games that we build day one in Game Pass.” Espousing the quality and depth of the titles available on the service over the past few years, Bond goes on to tease that “you’re going to see even more big games coming into Game Pass later this year.”
That prompts the interviewer to ask whether Bond is referring to games from “acrossActivision’s portfolio,” to which the Xbox president replies, “Across the whole slate.”
Bond’s comments come after a bad week for Xbox,as it announced the immediate closure of four studios, including Dishonored and Prey developerArkane Austin, and Tango Gameworks, the team behind the acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush. The company’sphilosophy behind those closures doesn’t appear to have been clear, and Bond herselfstruggled to explain exactly what had gone wrong at Tangoat another point in this interview. The winds of public opinion have been blowing against Xbox this week, which could make for a difficult time during its showings in theSGF schedule.
