    This means the Game Pass subs dropped in a big way following the last big price hike. Im expecting: 1. Xbox 1P only tier 2. COD being removed

    More flexible, you say? Interesting phrase!
  • @vicious696 Parris on x
    From the CEO herself, Xbox Game Pass is too expensive and no longer provides value Good to see her actively looking at ways to improve the service and make it more affordable for consumers
  • @carygolomb Cary Golomb on x
    Truth be told, while I do love third party games day-one, I care far more for Xbox Studios (which is still a large selection) If the Premium tier pivoted to just that (without CoD) that would still be fine with me.

    You're not ready to hear what she actually means by “more flexible”.
