Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 12: How Xbox Game Pass Impacts Game Developers
Added 2021-04-21 16:00:07 +0000 UTCMike Rose of No More Robots (Descenders, Yes Your Grace, Hypnospace Outlaw, and more!) joins this week's Defining Duke Ultimate to tell the story of how Xbox Game Pass has impacted the games his publishing label works on. What kind of financial deals are struck for developers and how do the nature of sales alleviate some of the pressure of making a game? Does this shape how games are made? Mike provides the answers. We dive into the metrics available through Game Pass like download and player counts as well as whether or not PlayStation has an upcoming competitor for the service. While this is widely viewed in a favorable manner, Mike even presents some negatives that Xbox Game Pass can bring to the table for studios. All in all, an insight interview that will leave you more informed about Xbox's future platform then when you first began listening.

Excellent interview Matty. I really learned a lot and am excited to check out Descenders on GP. Would love to see more interviews in the future.

2021-04-21 20:17:26 +0000 UTCThe answer for why something would be on Xbox GP instead of PC GP was what I thought was the case. Both Gears Tactics and Flight Sim were available day one on PC GP only because they launched on PC. MS just seems to put whatever they can on PC and Xbox GP as quickly as possible. If MS favored Xbox GP, Gears Tactics would not have went to PC GP until it launched on Xbox. Basically, Xbox and PC GP are at a restaurant, and they impolitely don't wait for everyone to be served before eating
2021-04-21 17:29:50 +0000 UTC20 minutes in and this is by far the best DDU episode to date. Great interview and wonderful perspective. Thanks for bringing the quality content, Matty.
