Xbox Prepares Response to Changes in PS Plus; Starts With Demos
Xbox is going to respond to the novelties introduced in PS Plus. According to Tom Henderson, the Game Pass service will also enable us to play demos.
- According to Tom Henderson, Microsoft is planning to introduce game demos into Game Pass;
- These would be mostly for smaller indie productions;
- The company would compensate developers for working on demos.
It seems that we did not have to wait long for Microsoft's response to Sony's recent moves. Apparently, the Redmond giant also intends to enrich its service with some novelties.
According to Tom Henderson the company intends to fill Game Pass with demo versions of various games.
Demos not only in PS Plus
The fact that PS Plus will offer access to demos of some games has been known for a long time. In fact, we should call them trials, which will enable subscribers to test even the most important AAA titles available in the service for two hours.
If we like the game, we will be able to purchase it and we will not lose the progress if we decide to do so. This addition, of course, is not the main attraction offered by PS Plus, but certainly will appeal to some players.
Apparently, Microsoft also liked the idea. Tom Henderson revealed that the company also intends to introduce demos to its service. In Game Pass, however, they would have a slightly different nature.
According to the informant, the subscription would be enriched with numerous demos of smaller productions. We are talking about indie games, which in this way could reach a wider audience.
In addition, Microsoft would help such studios in the work on demo versions of their games. The company would not only provide the appropriate tools, but also compensated in some way for the costs incurred by developers.
For now we do not know anything more about it, but we will not have to wait too long for official information. According to Henderson, Microsoft will announce the new project before the Summer Game Fest, which will take place tomorrow.
Of course, it is worth noting that at this point it is only an unconfirmed rumor, but Tom Henderson has repeatedly made himself known as a reliable informant.
