New flexible subscription model

The company intends to let users pick and choose the benefits they want rather than buying a preset bundle. This change aims to make the service more affordable for both new and existing customers.

Current tier pricing details

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate currently costs $23 per month and includes a library of over 500 games. The tier also provides day-one releases, bundled Fortnite Crew, EA Play, and Ubisoft+ access.

Broader strategic context

These adjustments follow a price cut to the most expensive tier announced after Asha Sharma took over as CEO in February. The gaming division has undergone layoffs and studio sales while Sharma attempts to turn the brand into a viable business.
