Bizarrely Popular Video Games

The Goat Simulator Game Will Be Playable On Xbox One

— August 12, 2014 — Tech
The hilarious and oddly successful Goat Simulator game will soon be available on the Xbox One all-in-one entertainment system. Xbox One may be synonymous with slightly more slickly produced, big label video games, but it looks like the system is going a more populist route.

The Goat Simulator game is an extremely bizarre experience, as it essentially requires that you take control of a goat and cause all kinds of shenanigans, debauchery, tomfoolery and straight-up violence in an unsuspecting town.

The game is one among a long list of indie games that will be introduced to Xbox One. Others include the popular mobile game Threes, first-person shooter Super Hot and The Escapists.

The games will be added to Xbox One at some point this year, but fans of the Goat Simulator game will have to wait a little while longer to find out the exact dates as Microsoft hasn't revealed them just yet.
Trend Themes
1. Populist Game Releases - Indie games like Goat Simulator are being released on popular gaming platforms, making game development more accessible to wider audiences.
2. Bizarre Gaming Experiences - Unconventional video game concepts like Goat Simulator are gaining traction and popularity, creating opportunities for developers to think outside the box.
3. Indie Game Crossovers - Popular indie games like Threes and The Escapists from mobile and PC platforms are being introduced to console gamers, increasing cross-platform gaming possibilities.
Industry Implications
1. Video Games - Developers and publishers can tap into a growing demand for unconventional and offbeat video game concepts and marketing strategies.
2. Digital Entertainment - Popular consoles like Xbox One are increasing their entertainment offerings by adding indie games and other unique content, opening up opportunities for innovation and creativity.
3. Mobile Gaming - Indie games being introduced to console gamers could lead to increased visibility and popularity for smaller mobile game developers, and encourage greater experimentation and risk taking.
