Microsoft is considering options to remove the 30% commission on game sales from the Xbox Store in the future. This edition of Axios was told by Sarah Bond, who holds the post of corporate vice president of the gaming direction. According to her, the organization will try to maintain a more flexible policy that will allow game authors to receive more profit from sales.
The presence or absence of a commission will be determined privately for each individual title. The favor of Microsoft will depend on how many Microsoft services developers will implement in their offspring. For example, a payment system or streaming technology through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
It is worth clarifying that this action (the timing of its implementation has not yet been announced) will only affect console games. The PC versions will have a commission anyway, but it will also be reduced in the near future from 30% to 12%.
