"Xbox Game Pass: A Game-Changer for Spirittea's Development Journey"
Indie game publisher No More Robots revealed the impact of Xbox Game Pass on their latest release, Spirittea. The Game Pass deal allowed the developer to delay the game's launch for a year and add over a hundred hours of additional content. Over 100,000 players tried Spirittea through Xbox Game Pass in its first week, with Xbox and Nintendo Switch accounting for 80% of the game's revenue. Many players who tried the game on Game Pass went on to purchase it on other platforms. The financial success of Spirittea has given the developer the freedom to continue supporting the game with post-launch content.
