Rumors: Microsoft is thinking about adding a cheaper and more accessible tariff to Game Pass than Ultimate

The introduction of the Standard tariff without games on release day will not be the last change that awaits the Game Pass subscription in the foreseeable future. This was reported by Windows Central editor Jez Corden in a recent article for the publication.

According to Windows Central tipsters, Microsoft is currently working on an all-cloud Game Pass plan that will be cheaper and more accessible than Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (the only plan for Xbox Cloud Gaming users).

The cloud plan will be intended for those who are not interested in buying an Xbox or are not ready for the initial costs of mastering a particular console. Unlike Netflix, the service will also allow you to purchase games.

Corden also reports that the Game Pass family plan may still be released, but in a modified form. In an experiment conducted in 2022 and 2023, publishers found the plan ($25 for five people) to be too generous.

As for the ad-supported plan that Amazon Prime TV and Netflix already have, Microsoft is not actively working on it, but there is still a possibility of such a plan appearing in the future.

Previously, Microsoft announced an increase in the price of Game Pass, eliminated the opportunity to sign up for Xbox Game Pass for consoles ($11 per month) and announced the Xbox Game Pass Standard tariff ($15) with access to multiplayer, but without games on release day.

The changes occurred shortly before the release of Call of Duty games on Game Pass. Modern Warfare 3 is rumored to join the catalog on July 24, and Black Ops 6 (out October 25) will be the first in the franchise to launch simultaneously on subscription.
