CTOnews.com, July 18 (Xinhua)-- Eternal Space 2 is a space shooting independent game that debuted on Microsoft Xbox Game Pass. Michael Schade, CEO of the game's developer Rockfish Games, said in an interview with podcast Xbox Expansion Pass that Microsoft Xbox Game Pass makes the development environment of independent games better.

▲ "Eternal Space 2" game poster Michael Schade said that Microsoft will provide the necessary development funds for games that join the Xbox Game Pass lineup, and the game studio will be able to avoid aborting the game due to financial problems while maintaining independent development, so this will enable the development team to make the work more perfect.

It is reported that in the development of Eternal Space 2, Microsoft provided a series of funds for Rockfish Games, coupled with the revenue from the first generation of Eternal Space and the "pre-emptive trial version" of the sequel, allowing the studio to spend another 9 to 12 months to improve the sequel.

Michael Schade also said that Eternal Space 2 still sold a lot on the Steam platform after joining Xbox Game Pass. "frankly speaking, joining Xbox Game Pass does not affect sales, especially for independent developers like us, the benefits of partnering with Microsoft are obvious."

Michael Schade also believes that Xbox Game Pass is not only a boon for developers, but also for Sony PlayStation players. After all, the game is built with plenty of money and time, and after launch, it will log on to the whole platform to bring a better play experience for all players.

But CTOnews.com found that Sony SIE's CEO Jim Ryan took a completely negative view of Microsoft Xbox Game Pass's tone, saying he "had talked to a large number of publishers and learned that they generally disliked Game Pass and thought it undermined the value of the game."
