Microsoft plans customizable Xbox Game Pass subscription options

Microsoft is planning to let subscribers build their own customized Xbox Game Pass subscription bundles instead of paying for fixed tiers, according to reports from Engadget and Mezha.net.

The potential changes follow a period of organizational shifts at Microsoft's gaming division since Asha Sharma took over as chief executive officer in February, Engadget reported. According to Engadget, the division has experienced layoffs, studio sales, and modifications to its core products and services under Sharma's leadership in an effort to make the brand a viable business.

Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service originally launched on June 1, 2017. The service provides access to a rotating catalog of downloadable and streamable video games across consoles, Windows computers, mobile devices, smart televisions, and web browsers. [9]

Alongside the planned Game Pass overhaul, Engadget reported that Microsoft is exploring next-generation Project Helix consoles, which could potentially start at a price of 1,800 dollars. [2]
