He was at the studio&#8217;s helm back when it was making Dishonored and Prey (both of which are now on Game Pass), but has been <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-next-game-from-dishonored-co-creator-raphael-colantonio-is-a-first-person-immersive-sim-with-a-structure-between-prey-and-fallout-new-vegaswere-going-for-density-over-size\/\" target=\"_blank\">busy with new projects<\/a> at studio WolfEye during Arkane&#8217;s Microsoft era.<\/p>\n<p>Colantonio isn&#8217;t the first critic to point out Game Pass&#8217; similarities to TV streaming services. Game Pass is a great deal for gamers, just like Netflix, Disney+, and all the rest were originally. Now, prices are higher, these services are filled with ads, and careers in Hollywood are drying up as streaming struggles to turn a profit.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not hard to imagine Game Pass leading the games industry down a similar path. However this pans out, Microsoft is clearly too committed to the service to back out, given its slumping console sales. For better or worse, Xbox&#8217;s fate is tied to Game Pass, which means beloved studios like Obsidian, Arkane Lyon, and Bethesda&#8217;s are as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"793b4f26-d72c-4550-b063-876d31cb3465\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/arkane-studios-founder-slams-microsoft-for-its-game-pass-focus-at-some-point-reality-has-to-hit.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"793b4f26-d72c-4550-b063-876d31cb3465\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/arkane-studios-founder-slams-microsoft-for-its-game-pass-focus-at-some-point-reality-has-to-hit\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xbox Game Pass might be popular among gamers, but if you ask Arkane Studios founder Raphael Colantonio, it&#8217;s bad news for gamers and developers alike in the long run.
