Xbox Game Pass is becoming quite a good place for smaller indie titles to thrive, especially those that could easily get lost in a sea of AAA shuffle on console platforms. And, this week brings another success story in the form of indie arena shooter-roguelite Brotato.
Seaven Studio, who helped bring Blobfish's title to console platforms, has announced that Brotato has been installed more than a million times with the help of Xbox Game Pass. That's a huge number - congrats to the teams involved!
This might not equate to the same success as one million sales, but for a smaller team like this we'd imagine it's great to have so many people dip in and try their somewhat lesser-known titles. Again, congrats - huge win!
Other industry folks have spoken about the 'security' that Xbox Game Pass provides smaller teams - teams that don't have to rely on sales as much with the help of Microsoft bringing their titles to Game Pass. We might have to give Brotato a go and see what all the fuss is about now!
