Analyst David Gibson revealed how much Microsoft paid to get Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on Xbox Game Pass: between $ 5 and $ 10 million. This is a very high figure, but certainly not what it might seem.

Gibson has revealed the figure starting from the rumors about the upcoming announcement of Project Spartacus, the new subscription service from Sony for PlayStation, explaining why of some of the choices that emerged from the various rumors, which make the offer of the new subscription less attractive than that of the Xbox Game Pass, but still interesting.




Gibson then developed the concept of him by explaining how the Game Pass economy works. In fact, Square Enix grossed around $ 2 per subscriber, compared to $ 29 per copy sold on the physical market. Sure, the $ 2 is all profits, but according to him not all publishers could afford to do the same, given the current low cost of the Xbox Game Pass.

On our own we add that it must certainly be considered that Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has arrived on Xbox Games Pass after having largely exhausted its commercial cycle. Square Enix called the results below expectations, so it's no wonder they accepted Microsoft's offer to monetize a little.
