As Oli argued following Microsoft's Xbox Series X reveal event, Microsoft's message is as much about selling Xbox Game Pass as it is selling its new console - perhaps more so.
This all ties in with the idea that Xbox is pushing more than the Series X console. The Master Chief Collection will see the release of Halo 4 and Halo 3: ODST soon, and I imagine Microsoft Flight Simulator is going to be a monster hit on Steam when it comes out, too. Looking ahead, Halo Infinite on PC is also set for Steam, as is Battletoads.
Xbox Game Pass, which gets you all Microsoft-published games on day one, costs £7.99 a month. And it's perhaps surprising to find Microsoft games doing so well in the Steam charts, given their availability on subscription service Xbox Game Pass. It's a far cry from the days when Microsoft pushed its much-maligned Windows Store as the exclusive preserve of its PC gaming efforts.
