Microsoft is preparing a major restructuring of Xbox Game Pass that would allow subscribers to assemble their own plans à la carte, according to Fortune. Rather than relying entirely on prepackaged bundles, players would be able to pick and choose specific add-ons such as online multiplayer access, cloud streaming, and console-only titles. [1][2]
The service is currently divided into distinct tiers, including an Essential tier at £6.99 per month, PC and Premium tiers priced at £10.99 monthly, and an Ultimate plan at £16.99 per month. Higher-end packages bundle perks like Ubisoft+ access, elevated reward points, and extended cloud streaming, options that some users rarely touch. [1]
The impact of the proposed model will hinge on standalone pricing. Players seeking only core features like multiplayer could see lower monthly bills, while subscribers who combine numerous individual add-ons might face higher total costs than under the current Ultimate tier. [1]
