Xbox Game Pass may shift to customizable subscription tiers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Microsoft is reportedly planning a significant overhaul of its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, moving away from fixed tiers to a more flexible, à la carte model. This new approach would allow subscribers to select specific features and add-ons, such as online multiplayer, game streaming, or bundled subscriptions like EA Play, to customize their plan and potentially lower the cost. The reported changes come as Xbox, under CEO Asha Sharma, navigates a period of strategic adjustments aimed at improving the business's financial viability. AI

IMPACT Potential shift in subscription models could influence how other digital services bundle and price their offerings.
