No one will dispute it, the Asian market has always been ultra-favorable to Sony and its PlayStation brand as well as to Nintendo. An established fact in the face of which Microsoft has never resigned itself. The latest figures attest to this, its efforts are paying off and the manufacturer does not intend to stop there.
Microsoft stays the course and publishes a very important job offer
Phil Spencer also warned us during the last Tokyo Game Show that Japan is a major objective for Microsoft, which still aims to upset the position of its main Japanese competitor.
The investment in the Xbox Game Pass as well as the upcoming arrival of several exclusive productions constitute two weighty weapons for the Redmond firm which is now seeking to recruit a high-profile profile for a major position aimed at the culmination of this strategy. .
A look at his recruitment page allows us to see that the company has posted a job offer online to find a “Director of partnerships with Japanese creators”.
Its main mission will be in these words to “develop strong professional relationships with key executive partners throughout the gaming ecosystem in Japan”.
As Director of Game Creator Partnerships in Japan, you are responsible for leading a team of strategic partner managers located in Japan.
This team’s mission is to partner with Japan-based game publishers and developers to create games for the Xbox ecosystem, including Xbox Game Pass (console, PC, and streaming), and to enable creators to grow, engage and monetize their gaming community.
You’ll empower game creators to focus on their games and communities by introducing them to Microsoft products and services for creating and running their games and businesses.
On closer inspection, Microsoft has already been moving forward with its roadmap for several months, having already recruited a “director of production partners” earlier this year. Slowly, but surely, things are falling into place for the American giant.
