Xbox president Sarah Bond has said that Xbox Game Pass is profitable and good for creators after having its best year in terms of revenue in the previous fiscal year.

Xbox Game Pass is just over eight years old this year, and it's constantly been a point of discussion among Xbox users. While a lot of people obviously love having a library of games at a moment's notice through a subscription, the decision to release all Xbox Game Studios games to the platform on day one has caused mixed reactions, with some feeling it devalues Microsoft's games, and as game development costs go up, it makes that point even more pertinent.
