"Xbox Game Pass: Debunking Claims and Teasing New Games"

The studio head of Sports Interactive, the developer of Football Manager, has refuted PlayStation boss Jim Ryan's claim that Xbox Game Pass is "value destructive." Miles Jacobson stated that Game Pass has been a positive experience for Football Manager, bringing in new players and making fiscal and creative sense for the franchise. While different studios may have different opinions on the matter, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has previously stated that Game Pass is sustainable and not losing money. Sony and Microsoft have different strategies for their subscription services, with Microsoft launching games day-and-date on Game Pass, while Sony opts not to release its first-party games on rival service PS Plus at launch.
