Microsoft paid $600,000 to have Cooking Simulator added to GamePass

Microsoft has splurged a lot of money for Cooking Simulator developers to add their game to GamePass. And the money is really not small - we're talking about $600,000, which is 22% of all last year's revenue for Big Cheese Studio. This was reported by the Polish developer himself in his financial report.

After adding it to the GamePass catalog, anyone who has a subscription to the service will be able to play it. The game's audience has declined significantly recently, so it's unlikely that this will have a negative impact on the game's sales.

Big Cheese Studio claims to have sold a total of over 700,000 copies of Cooking Simulator. In addition, the studio has sold over 400,000 copies of various add-ons.
