微软Xbox Game Pass年收入近50亿美元,内部存忧虑

摘要

微软Xbox Game Pass年收入接近50亿美元,尽管内部对其对零售销售和开发者支持的影响存在担忧。

微软的Xbox Game Pass首次实现了近50亿美元的年收入,标志着这一基于订阅的游戏服务达到了重要里程碑。这一增长得益于成功的第一方游戏发布和不断扩大的订阅用户群。

尽管财务表现出色,内部仍出现了关于该平台对传统零售销售和开发者支持影响的担忧。前Xbox游戏工作室副总裁Shannon Loftis指出,Game Pass带来了“奇怪的内部紧张”,因为服务上的大部分游戏采用率是以牺牲零售收入为代价的,除非游戏设计为发布后盈利模式。

同样,前Bethesda Softworks全球市场与传播高级副总裁Pete Hines强调支持内容创作者的重要性,表示如果不能妥善支持这些创作者,订阅服务“毫无价值”。

针对这些担忧,微软在其游戏部门进行了裁员,影响了Turn 10、King和The Initiative等工作室,同时取消了《完美黑暗》和《永野》等项目。这些举措引发了外界对公司内部逻辑和信息传递以及Game Pass模式可持续性的质疑。

尽管面临挑战,微软仍继续投资其游戏生态系统,目前有近40款游戏正在开发中,并承诺支持开发者和玩家。
