Now, however, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has stepped in and stated there are \"no plans\" to bring the service to Sony or Nintendo platforms.\u00a0 On Nov. 30, Xbox CFO Tim Stuart spoke at the Wells Fargo TMT Summit and said a \u201cchange of strategy\u201d was happening internally that would see Xbox\u2019s subscription service potentially being pushed to more smart TVs, mobile devices, and other platforms. PlayStation and Nintendo consoles were mentioned in that discussion, leading to the gaming community arguing over how Xbox games being on other major gaming platforms could impact its console and the market.\u00a0 In a sizable interview with Windows Central, Phil Spencer clarified that he and his team have \u201cno plans to bring Game Pass to PlayStation or Nintendo.\u201d Currently, Xbox is focused on innovating for \u201cpeople who've made the commitment\u201d to its hardware and how to make that investment worth it for existing and potential customers moving forward. \u201cWhen I think about investments in things like Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, cross-play, and cross-save, and ID@Xbox, all of these things\u2014I want us to continue to innovate, so people on our console feel like we're making investments in console that matches their commitment they're making to us,\u201d Spencer said.\u00a0 Spencer did not elaborate on the \u201cevery screen\u201d comments or what areas the Xbox team is actively looking at when it comes to expansion for Game Pass. However, he did reiterate that the service is \u201can important part of the Xbox console identity.\u201d Over the last five years, Game Pass has continued to grow and is now on PC and the cloud, but Microsoft is looking at ways to continue innovating the service, but Spencer specifically noted that involves \u201cour game portfolio and our platform.\" While speaking on innovation, Spencer made sure to focus on the potential of the Xbox Cloud, which he and his team think can be utilized \u201cas a way to get onto mobile gaming\u201d while also improving it for console gamers who use it as a way to browse or trial games. The Xbox App and how it enables access to Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere features for PCs of all types.\u00a0 \u201cI'm traveling right now, I have my Lenovo Legion Go with me, which is fantastic. I think about those handheld PCs, almost extensions of my Xbox console,\u201d Spencer said. \u201cWe've been pushing for cross-play, cross-save, cross-progression, for so long. To see when I pick up a game, that my progress on my console shows up on this handheld in a native way\u2014it's not just cloud streaming. And I can play on the airplane and or play when I'm disconnected. I think that's vitally important to where we're trying to go.\u201d Spencer is big on looking at what \u201cgamers are embracing\u201d and trying to build on that information to better all of Xbox\u2019s products, hardware, and services. He teased that there are roadmaps in place now that will implement improvements in all three areas, as well as potential ways the company might move forward with its various IPs on streaming services. So, while it looks like the dream of having Game Pass on the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch is dead\u2014for now\u2014Xbox seems to have plenty of plans for where things are going post-Activision-Blizzard acquisition.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Phil-Spencer-Xbox.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052287"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1052287"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1052305,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052287\/revisions\/1052305"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1052297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1052287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1052287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1052287"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1052287"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1052287"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1052287"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1052287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
