Tokyo Game Show Was Massive for Xbox Game Pass
The Asian market has historically been the weakest area for Xbox. Fortunately, that historic trend seems to be turning around, with the company making huge gains in the territory since the current console generation started in 2020. While some of this has been put down to supply issues of competitor Sony's PS5, Microsoft still deserves credit for the extra efforts towards trying to win fans in what is traditionally its weakest market. Those efforts were certainly apparent during Tokyo Game Show 2022. Some of the most exciting Xbox news coming from the event was about games coming to the already impressive Xbox Game Pass library.
One reason for Xbox's shortcomings in Japan and the rest of Asia is the relative lack of games from Japanese studios on the platform. That's one issue that Xbox Game Pass seems to be addressing, with a huge wave of Japanese-developed titles headed to the service, including some big-name JRPGs. Renowned Japanese studios like Koei Tecmo's Team Ninja, and Sega's Atlus will see their games coming to the service. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer also doubled down on other selling points of the service, such as Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda projects launching as day one Game Pass titles.
