Phil Spencer says that Fallout’s success and Minecraft is feeding more Xbox adaptations

The wild success of the Fall series and the A Minecraft movie He inspired Phil Spencer at the Xbox headquarters and the Microsoft Gaming boss has opened on how these projects are modeling the future of playing adaptations on screen under Xbox Banner.

During an interview with Variety, Spencer said: “I think what I would say to our fans is that we are learning and growing through this process, which is giving us more confidence that we should do more. And we like it, and our community seems to get a lot of energy through it.”

Spencer is trying to let creativity lead. He underlined that each project is a learning experience, which affects as big as Fall Or he stumbles a bit like previous efforts.

“I think we learn something through our creative process every time we find a good partner who has their point of view on how you can tell different parts of the story. I will return to Halo [the TV series adaptation at Paramount+]. We learned from doing HaloLet’s learn from doing Fall. “

Spencer recognizes that some adaptations will miss the mark. This is just a part of evolution. “All of these are based on themselves and, of course, a couple that is missing, it is only a kind of part of it,” he said.

“I think what I would say to the community that this job likes is that you will see more, because we are gaining confidence and we are learning through this.”

So what awaits us? This is still in phase. Spencer is not ready to make fun of what future projects could do the beer behind the scenes, and it is well keeping it like this.

“That’s why it is difficult for me to make fun of anything specific, because while I know all these things that are in the creative process, I want to give them time and I don’t want to exercise any undue pressure on them.

“I like the stories that our teams are writing now and games that are launching. There is only a lot of interest from traditional media and we are happy with it.”

But before someone starts to dream of an Xbox cinematographic universe, Spencer clarifies that these adaptations are not about transforming all franchises into a control object for films and TV.

“We never transform this into something in which it must be done, each franchise must have a game or a movie or a TV show, and become more similar to licenses,” he warned. “It must concern the creative outlet that Linear Media offers for our franchises.”

In other words, don’t expect that Xbox will turn into a content factory. If a series is adapted, it is because someone has a compelling story to tell, not only because it is trendy.
