Chapter 212: Chapter 152: XGP Service
"Speeding Frenzy" has two versions - console and PC.
Unlike previous Tianba Gas, the PC sales percentage exceeded seventy percent, even reaching eighty, while console sales were negligible.
The new ga’s console version is selling very well.
Less than two months after release, the total number of active players on the console has already surpassed the million mark, even more than the PC version.
"Xbox Ga Pass!"
Chen Ba revealed the key reason for the rapid growth in players, which is the Ga Pass subscription service launched by Xbox.
This thing is very appealing!
After purchasing an XGP mbership, players can play various exclusive boutique gas without obstruction during the service period, which is very attractive to players.
This is from the player’s perspective.
From the perspective of the ga developer, Xbox Ga Pass also has a significant benefit, which is attracting traffic!
"Ga players generally have their own preferred types, for example, Lu likes to play Galga, Zhong Shengwei likes RPG adventure gas, Dong likes strategy managent gas..."
Chen Ba gave examples of the crowd, then smiled and said, "For you, when encountering a type of ga you like, it’s definitely a no-brainer, right? But what if it’s a type you don’t like?"
Interest determines willingness to pay!
Interested gas will have a high willingness to pay from players. A player who likes simulation managent gas, when encountering a simulation managent ga, his willingness to pay is definitely stronger than a player who likes Souls-like gas.
On the other hand.
If the ga’s genre isn’t what you like, your willingness to pay will be low.
"That’s exactly how it is..."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
This is also an acknowledged fact in the gaming industry, different ga types target different player groups.
"But Xbox Ga Pass subscription service changed this ecosystem because its paynt logic is sowhat similar to those monthly mbership of video software and music platforms."
Chen Ba asked rhetorically: "If you opened Tianba Music’s VIP mbership, and the platform released a relatively popular new song, would you listen to it?"
"Of course!"
Lu replied without hesitation: "I have mberships for all platforms, why not give it a listen?"
"But you prefer sowhat lyrical music and aren’t really interested in rock?"
"I would still listen to it."
"If it’s good, I’ll add it to my playlist. If it’s not, I’ll act like I never heard it!"
"Exactly!"
Chen Ba snapped his fingers and said, "This is how Xbox Ga Pass attracts players to ’Speeding Frenzy’, a big group of players who might usually have no interest in racing gas."
Having an XGP mbership, facing so many gas in the library, surely they’ll want to try them out.
When they try it, they find it’s actually not bad, not that annoying, and with the discounted price being acceptable, they’ll just buy a copy!
Many players think this way.
This is also the fundantal reason ’Speeding Frenzy’, after joining the Xbox Ga Pass service, instantly garnered a large number of players and gained a foothold on the Xbox console platform.
XGP mbership total is quite shocking.
Though dostically, ho ga consoles are relatively niche, and Xbox Ga Pass is a service many have never experienced.
But abroad, especially in Europe and Arica, ho ga consoles are still quite popular, and players subscribing to the XGP mbership are not few, certainly numbering in tens of millions.
Among these tens of millions of XGP mbers, even if only a small portion of players beco curious about the newly released ’Speeding Frenzy’ and want to download it and try, it would still be a significant number.
"Can we make money from this?"
Lu isn’t interested in the so-called XGP mbership service, he only cares about one thing, which is whether Tianba Studio can make money after ’Speeding Frenzy’ enters the XGP ga library.
"Of course we can!"
"We’re a third-party, not a first-party ga developer." Chen Ba rolled his eyes.
If it were a ga studio fully owned by Microsoft, commonly known as a first-party, they’re one and the sa with Xbox, whether money is divided or not is irrelevant, after all, dividing money is like transferring from one pocket to another.
But with Tianba Studio as a third party, if they don’t get their share, wouldn’t it be like purely working for free?
Even brothers need to make clear accounts!
This money definitely needs to be divided, the specifics depend on the proportion of ’Speeding Frenzy’ in the XGP service and comprehensive data like total player playti.
Chen Ba roughly calculated.
If the current number of active players is maintained throughout, then getting two to three million US dollars a year is just a drop in the bucket.
Doesn’t sound like much?
But don’t forget, this is just after XGP revenue sharing, the sales of the ga itself hasn’t been counted!
XGP mbership service attracted millions of players to ’Speeding Frenzy’, even if only part of these players purchase the ga, there are still hundreds of thousands of ga sales.
"Does it earn that much?"
After hearing Ba’s description, Zhong Shengwei murmured, "Then what you’re saying is that just the console platform might generate us tens of millions in revenue?"
"Gun, car, ball gas are like this."
Compared to others’ surprise, Chen Ba seed quite calm, mainly because when he decided to develop a "gun, car, ball" ga, he knew the market would be imnse.
Facts prove that the gun, car, ball gas are indeed recognized as the three major winning magical treasures in the gaming realm!
These three types of gas indeed have countless enthusiasts, with an extrely large market share, and countless die-hard fans worldwide.
This is still racing gas...
If it were shooting gas, which is the gun aspect in gun, car, ball, the market’s vastness, Chen Ba dares not even think.
"I have a bold idea!"
