Microsoft and Xbox
As we know, Microsoft managed to acquire Zenimax Media for USD 7.5 billion or equivalent to IDR 111 Trillion. Various well-known games such as Elder Scrolls, Fallout, DOOM, Deathloop, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, The Evil Within to Ghostwire Tokyo are now owned by Microsoft.
So, now Microsoft has full rights to the games made by Bethesda. Suddenly this makes the competition between Sony and Microsoft in the future will be more exciting for us to follow. Moreover, these two camps will soon launch their next-gen console, to be precise in November.
Talking about Microsoft, Phil Spencer as Xbox boss recently revealed that Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax Media will not be the last. He said Xbox Game Pass is a service that Microsoft will continue to actively develop and grow.
Will buy more studios!
Well, buying a lot of studios in the future is one of their plans for the Xbox Game Pass. Spencer confirmed that they will continue to buy studios and feed Xbox Game Pass over time. By purchasing Zenimax Media, Xbox Game Pass has grown very rapidly.
Not only that, Xbox Game Pass has now collaborated with EA Play, which automatically makes games available through EA Play for Xbox Game Pass users to play. The Xbox Game Pass feature certainly doesn’t end here, but there are also many other interesting things.
One of the highlights of course is Xcloud. Which allows mobile gamers to play Xbox games. With all this, will Microsoft in the future be able to beat the popularity of Sony with PlayStation? Interesting for us to wait.
