Xbox Game Pass Is A Momentous Occasion For Lies Of P, Says Developers (Honest)

gameranx.com:

Lies of P project director Jiwon Choi has referred to Xbox Game Pass as a ‘momentous occasion’ for the game.

As reported by Windows Central, Jiwon’s full quote is that it is a “momentous occasion for Lies of P and the entire team at Round8 Studios.”

He then elaborated:

“Collaborating with Xbox has been an incredibly supportive and rewarding journey for us. Having our game launch on a platform with a massive global subscriber base is a thrilling opportunity… We understand this platform offers a tremendous reach, enabling us to engage with a wide and diverse audience of players from around the world.”

As we know that Lies of P is Round8’s and Neowiz’ first AAA video game to receive an international release, they will of course take any partnership and collaboration that will help elevate and raise visibility for their project.

We did report earlier last month that Round8 has also revealed a collaboration between Lies of P and Team Ninja’s Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. So we shouldn’t be surprised if Round8 and NeoWiz announce other partnerships in the future.

But as for Xbox Game Pass itself, that’s a topic that’s become surprisingly controversial. Jim Ryan shared his opinion that publishers don’t actually like Game Pass. Subesequently, Microsoft themselves admitted that Game Pass does cannibalize sales of games.

But, that situation isn’t necessarily clear cut, and it can certainly be different with each publisher, developer, and game.

For those smaller game developers, Game Pass can serve to be exposure. While armchair analysts may find this
