David Gibson, Senior Analyst at MST Financial, explained marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. To add Guardians of the Galaxy to xbox game pass, Microsoft paid Square Enix about $5 million to $10 million, he said.
Although that figure has not been officially confirmed, Gibson added: “Microsoft paid $5-10 million to add Guardians of the Galaxy to xbox game pass. Given the benefits of Xbox Game Pass, I don’t think other publishers would make such a move.”
For all those who wonder where these numbers come from- I have been covering Square Enix as an Analyst for 15yrs and talk to them regularly. Terms of an Xbox agreement are confidential but these are based on my estimate in discussions with Square and others .
