Aaron Greenberg, the marketing director for Xbox, stated in a July 2020 interview that Xbox Game Pass is not necessarily intended to be profitable for Microsoft at the current time but is instead intended to help draw more players through word-of-mouth by offering a substantial number of features as a seemingly underpriced value, and in the long-term become valuable. This enables companies to avoid incurring hefty advertising expenses for the service.
Spencer stated in an interview in August 2021 that there are presently no plans for these systems, despite there being reports that Microsoft was planning to bring Xbox Game Pass.
The player’s access is suspended until they buy the game or renew their membership, although their in-game progress will be saved during this time. This happens if the game is taken out of the catalog or if they cancel their subscription. If the game is an Xbox 360 title, it will be backwards compatible and only work on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One; until the player purchases it, it cannot be downloaded on their Xbox 360 console.
Can two people play on Game Pass?
Yes because, Now that Game Pass is officially transferable, your friends and family can all use the same account to play games together, the service just got even better.
