The two gaming studios have been budding heads ever since the start of the century. Recently. Xbox came up with a unique service ‘Game Pass’ which has been attracting new subscribers and gamers all over the world. It offers an array of free titles and also adds a new roster of games every month at a very low price for a limited time. These things have certainly made it the most lucrative service in the gaming ecosystem that helps gamers to discover new genres and play Triple-A titles on a routine basis.

If these rumors do carry any weight and if there is a closed room meeting going between the two, then Netflix should not pick sides. This could seriously constrict its ability to offer fresh content and both champions of the console wars have a massive list of amazing titles to offer. The OTT platform can easily run prominent titles of Xbox and PlayStation once its cloud-based gaming service becomes a reality.
