(Homeland) - Phil Spencer, the most influential figure at Xbox, is exceptionally fond of this game.
To lead the world's largest gaming console, Phil Spencer has been renowned for his decisive and righteous decisions over the years. This has propelled Xbox to prominence, showing robust growth in recent years. However, little is known that, besides being recognized as a business figure, Phil Spencer is also a genuine gamer.
In the Xbox annual summary report, a rather surprising note was revealed when Phil Spencer himself devoted a whopping 233 hours in 2022 solely to 'grinding' a single game, Vampire Survivors - an indie game that made a big splash during its early release. In fact, since its trial version launch in late 2021, Vampire Survivors has become an extremely popular choice on Valve's Steam Deck, with many expecting it to be the 'Game of the Year,' even though this did not materialize. And Phil Spencer - the head of Xbox is indeed a hardcore fan of this game.
Currently, Vampire Survivors is also causing quite a stir as it is set to release a mobile version soon. However, before that, the game has become part of the Xbox Game Pass at a price of only $2.99. Phil Spencer himself did not hesitate to praise this game. With 233 hours of playtime, completing 97% of the game's progress, accompanied by 480 achievements recorded and a total score of 9720, Phil Spencer proves that alongside developing electronic games, he is also an avid player.
Notably, according to his gaming data figures, Phil Spencer spent a total of 641 hours in the past year playing games on Xbox, and of course, a third of that time was dedicated to Vampire Survivors.
