Sega Considers Launching Game Subscription Service
- Sega is considering its own game subscription service
- That’s according to a recent interview with the BBC
- It could aim to compete with the likes of Xbox Game Pass and EA Play
In a recent interview with the BBC, Sega America and Europe CEO Shuji Utsumi hinted at the possibility of Sega launching its own game subscription service to compete with industry giants like Xbox Game Pass, EA Play, and Ubisoft Plus.
Utsumi expressed that the company finds subscription services “very interesting” and they are currently “evaluating some opportunities” in that space. This suggests that Sega may be exploring the option of introducing a game subscription service.
Following an interview with The Guardian where Utsumi emphasized the need for Sega to be innovative and not just rely on nostalgia, the potential launch of a subscription service could be part of the company’s strategy to stay relevant in the modern gaming landscape.
If Sega were to introduce a subscription service, it could potentially offer access to a vast library of retro titles from the company’s archives. Classic Sega games like Crazy Taxi, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Streets of Rage could appeal to fans looking to relive the nostalgia of these beloved titles.
Additionally, Sega could leverage its more recent properties like Total War: Warhammer 3, Two Point Hospital, Metaphor: Refantazio, and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth to create a compelling subscription service that offers a mix of classic and modern gaming experiences.
