MachineGames, the developer of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, has discussed the play patterns of people who play the game via Xbox Game Pass.
Speaking to The Game Business, design director Jens Andersson said the aim was to make The Great Circle “the most accessible MachineGames game so far,” and it being on Game Pass meant that anyone with a membership could give it a shot. The data coming back to MachineGames showed that Game Pass players would “jump in for five minutes and they drop out.”
“You can take a certain amount of decisions based on that, but at the same time, you don’t want to make too many concessions,” Andersson said. “It needs to be a great game for the player who plays all the way through. That’s the most important part for us, being the story-centric studio as we are.”
