Xbox head Phil Spencer believes the Xbox Game Pass subscription program could provide opportunities for single-player titles.
Spencer took to Twitter to make the claim, answering questions asked by an eager fan.
“The idea of a new model that could open up opportunities for creativity is where I think we’ll end up,” Spencer wrote. “Especially for SP games.”
I see XGP as both. The value is pretty obvious for some. And the idea of a new model that could open up opportunities for creativity is where I think we'll end up. Especially for SP games. That's what the model has done in TV but it's not an exact analogy.

Spencer also stressed that while Microsoft will lead the way with Xbox Game Pass, he’s very receptive to third-parties adding their own day one content.
We have a lot of interest from studios who want to see how our recent announcement plays out. We'll lead with our 1P but having XGP turn into a model for more studios is our a goal. And @iocat is a travelling machine…

Xbox Game Pass is a subscription-based program that offers up a library of over 100 titles for around $10 AUD a month. Microsoft recently announced that its new releases, titles like Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2, will be in the program at their respective releases.
