Xbox reportedly testing “build your own” Game Pass subscription

by

Rumors suggest Xbox is working on a big update to Game Pass, potentially allowing players to customize their subscription plans.

Microsoft is considering letting Xbox Game Pass subscribers choose the specific games included in their subscription, according to a report by Jez Corden. This is part of their plans for the future of the service.

This change happens soon after Microsoft adjusted Game Pass prices, lowering costs for some subscription levels as they refine how the service works.

Xbox Game Pass could shift to customizable subscription model

So, I’m hearing that Game Pass might get a big shake-up! Instead of being stuck with whatever’s in a certain tier, it sounds like we’ll be able to pick and choose exactly what we want – like building our own custom subscription with the features and games I actually care about. That’s awesome!

To save money each month, players might be able to customize their subscription by removing features they don’t need. For example, they could opt out of Xbox Cloud Gaming or trade perks like the Fortnite Crew membership for different extras.

According to sources at Microsoft, the company is planning to offer more flexible Game Pass options in the future. This could mean letting subscribers customize their plans and choose the specific benefits they want.

Recent leaks from Microsoft’s internal systems have uncovered the codenames “Duet” and “Triton,” hinting at potential new Game Pass offerings. These suggest Microsoft is exploring ways to offer more flexible, customizable subscription options.

Game Pass could offer even more benefits in the future. Reports suggest you might be able to bundle in subscriptions to services like World of Warcraft, Minecraft Realms, or even Netflix, as optional add-ons. A Game Pass family plan, which has been talked about for a while, is also likely to be included in these changes.
