Microsoft Xbox manager Phil Spencer wants Xbox games to be playable on any platform, anywhere, even hinting that this could be a reality for rival consoles, or at least that he'd be open to exploring this avenue. The reveal came as part of a spirited interview with our sister site GamesRadar, in which Spencer spoke more broadly about the philosophy that the Xbox is not a console, but rather a gaming platform that can be used across multiple devices. To gauge how serious Microsoft is about this, of course, we can see the recent announcement of Xbox Game Pass coming to smart TVs. GamesRadar toasted Spencer to the prospect of an upcoming Xbox app on Nintendo Switch, something that had been rumored to be a simmering possibility before, to which he replied, "You know, that's the right question because people usually ask me to release an individual game or another. And what I'm saying is that I want the full Xbox experience to be something that we offer. "We don't plan on bringing it to any other kind of closed platform right now, mainly because those closed platforms don't want something like Game Pass. There are a lot of open platforms that we can scale on: web, PC and mobile. So, frankly, our whole focus is on these platforms." Spencer further clarifies: “This is not a hit from someone else who has a system that works for them. I can see why the Game Pass discontinuation is not something they want right now. But then he adds: “At the end of the day, when we say we want everyone to be able to play on Xbox, we really mean that if we can bring that full experience to a device that gamers want, we're totally open. to these discussions." So there's not much to go on here, but there's certainly a hint that it's not out of the question that Xbox Game Pass will eventually end up on Switch, or even PS5. However, is this really likely to materialize?
