Thats not to say that Ubisoft isnt willing to explore different business models. The company is keeping a watchful eye on EAs new Access program on Xbox One, and Guillemot sees benefits beyond the revenue.



I think it makes the publisher more important in the players mind, he says. Often, people are only interested in one brand from a publisher, so they dont look for other brands. When you buy into something like Access, you can try other things for free and discover other things you like. Its a way to make sure gamers can get more info on what we do and the diversity of our portfolio.



Guillemot likens the idea of publisher Access subscriptions to television channels. When you look on your console, you have many channels and you want that diversity, he says. Instead of saying everythings in one place, we can say Okay, try these channels: EA, Ubi, Activision.



He sees programs like this as a way to increase diversity and attract new users to the consoles. Interestingly, Ubisoft hasnt yet signed on with the only platform-level program yet. The company is not included in the PlayStation Now library. We are still in the process of studying what it can do, he explains. We are open to any way that can give players access to our games. It has to work well and be a smooth experience.
