It makes more sense for the Switch to feature Xbox Game Studios titles that are less taxing on the hardware than bringing all of Game Pass. Ultimate. The bigger issue is whether the Switch could handle any of the hardware-heavy first-party Microsoft exclusives. Nintendo might be more open to the idea, as Xbox Game Studios titles have been appearing on the Switch, while Microsoft characters like Banjo-Kazooie and Steve from Minecraft have appeared in Super Smash Bros. The real question is whether Nintendo or Sony would allow Game Pass to appear on their systems.

There has been a lot of focus put on Game Pass in the run-up to the release of the Xbox Series X, and Microsoft might be seeing more value in the subscription service than the platforms that it's appearing on. This statement by Spencer represents a shift from an interview he did in July, where he said that Game Pass wouldn't come to PlayStation or Nintendo systems, as they couldn't provide the full Xbox experience.

I'm not sure that those are the next big set of users for us, but we could be open to those discussions.' I love the Switch, I love PlayStation, honestly, I think they've done an amazing job as being a part of this industry. There's smart TV's out there, there's Chromebooks out there, there's FireTV out there, there's a lot of discussions we would have, we would prioritize it based on where we would find the most new players, that we could naturally bring content to. We're still working on some of our technology on PC for larger screens in terms of streaming, and getting to iOS, and I think once we get through that, we look at what the other options are. We still have iOS to go after, we will come to iOS at some point. It's significantly larger than any console player base. We went to mobile next because there's a billion Android phones on the planet. So we went to PC first after Xbox, because there's just so many players there, globally, that don't own an Xbox, that we could go reach. 'I think for us it's all about priority, and reaching more players. Asked about Game Pass and its increasingly multiplatform focus, Spencer said Xbox is open to the possibility of Game Pass coming to other consoles, saying: The question of Game Pass coming to PlayStation and Nintendo systems was recently brought up in a Game Reactorinterview with Xbox boss Phil Spencer.
