As part of Microsoft’s Xbox business update on Thursday, the company announced that Game Pass has reached a new milestone of 34 million subscribers. Not only that, but Microsoft confirmed that Game Pass will not come to PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch, as some thought it might.
Xbox’s Matt Booty said during the event that “Game Pass will only be available on Xbox.” This might sound obvious, but there was reason to believe this could happen.
In December, Xbox CFO Tim Stuart said Microsoft’s mission is to bring Xbox Game Pass to every screen that can play games, including PlayStation and Nintendo. However, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer later clarified that Microsoft has “no plans” to bring Game Pass to rival platforms.
