The chief financial officer of Xbox has revealed that the gaming giant would be willing to expand itsXbox Game Passservice to rival consoles, including those fromPlayStationand Nintendo.
Speaking during the Wells Fargo TMT Summit, Tim Stuart told attendees that it is his company’s “mission” to bring the service to “every screen that can play a game”, and that includes non-Xbox consoles.
And, while not announcing anything specific, he added that it is Xbox’s goal to “bring our first-party experiences, our subscription services to every screen that can play a game.
“That means Smart TVs, that means mobile devices, that means what we would have thought of as competitors in the past, like PlayStation and Nintendo.”
It’s quite a bold statement, but Xbox has already set the groundwork for such a move. It has added PC Game Pass games to Nvidia’sGeForce Now cloud platform– a rival to its own Xbox Cloud Gaming service.
Of course, bothSonyand Nintendo have a say in this and it seems highly unlikely that they would agree to carry a significant rival’s main moneyspinner.

What’s more likely is that there will be an Xbox Game Pass app on every connected TV and streaming device, to tempt non-console owners to subscribe and play via the cloud.
That’s pretty much what Phil Spencer exclaimed a couple of years ago. It certainly makes the most sense. After all, as he said himself at the time (again viaVGC): “Other competitive platforms aren’t really that interested in having a full Xbox experience on their hardware.”
