New Xbox Game Pass Change Is Great News for Subscribers

The ever-growing selection of new games and day-one releases has kept Xbox Game Pass among the most profitable subscription services in the gaming industry. Over time, its popularity has soared, leading to significant changes. In 2023, Microsoft abolished Xbox Live Gold and introduced the widely recognized Core tier. This tier grants access to online multiplayer and a limited library of games for subscribers. The following year, they launched the Xbox Game Pass Standard, which sits between Core and Ultimate as the mid-tier option. Although these lower tiers might initially seem less profitable than Ultimate, Microsoft is planning a major shift that could alter subscribers’ perceptions.
