![]() ![]() Godfall, Avengers are new loot-based IPs that seem like they may follow this trend, even if they’re not showing up on Game Pass at launch. And yet I would not be surprised to see less of those and more of what Destiny is doing. Yes, $60 games and numbered sequels will still exist. Other games have already set this trend in motion a long time ago. Fortnite already exists as a platform and being free with no paid expansions, doesn’t need to be a part of a Game Pass at all. It’s hard to know exactly what the next franchise to go this route will be, but I would not be surprised to see maybe Call of Duty turn into a “platform” where its new releases are part of an ongoing stream of content, rather than hard resets every single year. This is a combination of two different trends, the shift to subscription models in media generally, which has fully consumed TV, but is now inching into games, and game franchises that last 5-15 years as a single entity, rather than something with numbered sequels and new box copies.
