New Playstation Plus will offer a Premium level which will also allow access to long limited demos for the latest AAA. A weighty argument by some, which quickly resonated with Microsoft and his Xbox Game Pass. Tom Henderson indicated that the manufacturer was going to speak on this subject today, and it did not fail, since Xbox announces Project Moorcroft, which aims to make demos available to its Game Pass subscribers. Explanations.
What is Microsoft’s Project Moorcroft?
Project Moorcroft therefore aims to introduce new titles by offering demos to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. It will initially focus on independent gamesto allow the smallest creators to discover their games to as many people as possible, but also to see how these demos are received by the public in order to see what corrections to make, what details worked well, etc.
But since these special demos take time to build, as well as money, especially for smaller studios, Microsoft says these creators will be entitled to compensationwhose nature and rules are unknown at the moment.
We would be talking here about demos that would come out well before the games themselves, since this is compared to the demos of E3 or other fairs., where we are invited to test games in preview. In short, a bit like the Steam Next Fest or the [email protected] Winter Game Fest Demo Event.
The Project Moorcroft program is expected to launch sometime in 2022. It is not impossible that after having offered a focus on independent games, Microsoft then turns to larger players in the market to compete with the PlayStation Plus Premium.
