Millions of gamers subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, with some even using it as their primary place to play new releases (per Xbox Wire). The subscription service’s library is constantly evolving, with new titles being added every month. However, not all games make it to Xbox Game Pass. For one thing, although more and more previously console-exclusive titles have made their way to PC in recent years, PlayStation games can be found on Steam, the Epic Games launcher, or Sony’s rival subscription service, PlayStation Plus. So what about indie titles that aren’t owned by Sony or Microsoft?
Well, according to Microsoft, Sony has indulged in anti-Game Pass tactics over the years. The company recently alleged that Sony paid independent developers to keep their games out of Game Pass, thereby keeping Sony at the top of the market. And according to a recent revelation, Sony has continued this practice by blocking the inclusion of any new indie hit in the Xbox service.
