In recent days, there has been information that the new head of Xbox is working on a Game Pass reform.
Journalist Tom Warren reported that Asha Sharma has been actively analyzing the situation in recent weeks: meeting with publishers, visiting studios, and collecting opinions before making key decisions about the future of Xbox.
The main thing is that Microsoft is considering new pricing models. Sharma herself stated within the company that Game Pass "has become too expensive for players" and that a better balance of value needs to be found. In the future, the service should become more flexible and adapted to different markets and audiences.
One option is a cheaper tariff only with games from Xbox Game Studios. It could be of interest to those who do not need a full catalog with products from third-party publishers. Packages and combined subscriptions are also being considered, which may change the format of using the service.
So far, these are just plans and discussions, but Microsoft seems to be preparing for serious changes. If new tariffs appear, Xbox Game Pass may become more flexible and convenient for different players.
