Valve did it Steam one of the most loved services by players all over the world. However, even though many other distributors have already made subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass, Valve it has not yet moved in this direction. With the release of Steam Deck now imminent, many are expecting the announcement of a subscription service to increase the appeal of the platform.
The CEO Of Valve, Gabe Newell, in an interview with Wes Fenlon Of PC Gamer, denied that the company is working to carry out a similar initiative. However, Newell he spent some interesting words on Xbox Game Pass. The CEOin fact, although defining himself not interested in working from scratch on a subscription service, he said he was willing to work with Microsoft to bring a service of Game Pass on Steam.
Since the words of Newell on Game Pass date back to last April, it seems clear that Valve has not confirmed plans to bring the service up Steam. However, with the release of Steam Deck the idea seems more realistic, as many games created for Xbox they might work well with console controllers. In addition, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer he publicly praised Steam Deck, for its performance in games like Halo. Spencer also expressed a desire to see xCloud And Game Pass on other platforms and consoles. Spencer further claimed to have tested xCloud right up Steam Decklaunching another positive signal in this direction.
The Game Pass Of Microsoft it is probably one of the most successful subscription services, while there is no shortage of alternatives. Other popular options include, for example, Humble Bundle And EA Play, just to name a couple. Maybe that’s why Valve shows little interest in developing its own subscription service. However, the release of Steam Deck it could trigger some interesting developments.
Halo Infinite is the latest installment in the beloved Xbox saga. You can find it on Amazon.
