New Xbox CEO Proposes Game Pass Changes
- Game Pass pricing has raised concerns among players
- Asha Sharma aims for a more flexible subscription model
- Future adjustments may address affordability issues
The newly appointed Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma, has communicated to Microsoft employees that the current pricing of Game Pass has become prohibitively expensive for gamers. In an internal memo, she recognized the need for a revised approach, stating, "Game Pass is central to gaming value on Xbox, but the current model isn’t the final one. We need a better value equation for players."
Sharma plans to explore options for a more flexible subscription structure that will take time to develop. Currently, Xbox Game Pass offers four tiers: Essential, Premium, PC Game Pass, and Ultimate, providing varying benefits and pricing.
While discussions on potential modifications are ongoing, the memo reflects a commitment to making Xbox’s gaming subscription more accessible. Details on what these changes may entail remain forthcoming.
