Game Pass Awaits Global Update: Microsoft Prepares Unexpected Changes - Informant
Microsoft may pleasantly surprise Xbox Game Pass subscribers by preparing a significant expansion of the service.
Last year, players complained about the price increase of Game Pass. Despite the expanding catalog, the corporation is preparing something more — not just "another game in the subscription," but a complete overhaul of the offer.
Tom Warren from The Verge claims that Microsoft is in the early stages of analyzing how to expand the Game Pass subscription line. It is important to note that this is not just a new tier based on the free Xbox Cloud Gaming service — the journalist's sources directly state that the cloud will not be a separate, new service level.
Key point: the company is considering combining the subscription with external services and possibly simplifying or merging some Game Pass options. After the price increase of Game Pass Ultimate in October, Microsoft is exploring bundles with third-party services and even combining Xbox Game Pass Premium with PC Game Pass.
No major changes to Game Pass are expected before the end of the year. According to Microsoft's plan, the service may turn into a "super package" with additional bonuses from partners, including new games and services.
