Xbox Game Pass has had quite a week, with the latest rumors suggesting that Microsoft is considering an option for Game Pass that would be a pick your own style of offering. Earlier this week, Xbox head Asha Sharma made an announcement about big changes coming to the Game Pass service. It had become “too expensive” for many people, and prices would be changing.
Xbox followed through on this statement, making the prices cheaper the exact same day. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, for example, went from $29.99 down to $22.99 in a matter of minutes. Sharma also confirmed that Call of Duty would no longer be available as a Day One game, but only for future titles, such as the upcoming Call of Duty game releasing later this year. For the long-term health of the service, these are good changes. The price is lower (though not low enough), and Microsoft won’t be cannibalizing its own franchise by giving away the newest games for free on launch day for subscribers. Still, more could stand to be done to bring the true value back.
Xbox Game Pass “pick your own” could be a massive benefit for gamers
Following the reports about Xbox Game Pass’ price changes, Windows Central put out a report detailing the changes. It was also stated that Microsoft is considering the idea of a pick your own option for the service. This would, as the description suggests, allow subscribers to pick and choose parts of the service to sort of make their own monthly package. This could allow the price to decrease and make it more worth it to subscribers who may have let their service lapse.
While none of this has been confirmed, it already seems to be exciting current subscribers. A post on the Xbox Game Pass subreddit has several comments from users who are praising the possibility of this being added. These would certainly be good changes. Mainly because subscribers would have more control over what they pay for. That being said, nothing is set in stone just yet.
