Recently, "Light and Shadow: Expedition Team No. 33", which has set off a phenomenal craze in the game industry, has reached a million sales milestone. Since its release, this new RPG work developed by Sandfall Studio in France has not only won the M-site must-play high score rating, but also became a strong competitor in the 2025 Game Awards with its sales results of over one million copies in the first week.It is worth noting that the business strategy of the first release of this game to simultaneously log in to the Xbox Game Pass (XGP) subscription service has once again triggered heated discussions in the industry about the subscription model.

Bucky, the head of the distribution of "Palu Palu", was deeply touched by this: "Our experience proves that for small and medium-sized developers, XGP is an important channel for expanding the user base." "Palu Palu" is the largest third-party release game on XGP, attracting more than 19 million players in just a few months, so "Palu Palu" earned 10 times its development cost of more than $6.7 million.

Although there are doubts about "subscription services affecting traditional sales", many industry insiders pointed out that the successful case of "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" just confirms the synergy effect of XGP.While the game has maintained its first release in the subscription system, it still achieves a double-line rise in physical and digital versions. The peak online of the Steam platform exceeded 120,000 people at the same time, confirming that high-quality content can also achieve commercial success on the subscription platform.
