Microsoft has been on a roll for the past few weeks with Xbox Game Pass. The FTC appealed their Game Pass price hike, raising concerns about their previous promises. But in the midst of all this, it seems the software giant is testing things internally to give consumers more choices for Xbox Game Pass, as they are now looking to add more Game Pass tiers.
Microsoft, DROP THE GAME PASS requirement for CLOUD GAMES!
As reported by Windows Central, Microsoft appears to be introducing different tiers of Xbox Game Pass with different features. Currently, only four levels of Xbox Game Pass are available to consumers: Standard Game Pass, Game Pass Core, Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass. However, if Microsoft follows through with its plans, two more Xbox Game Pass subscriptions could join this list.
They will launch a Game Pass tier that will only allow you to cloud stream the titles. So you should be able to play the games in Game Pass via the cloud if you have a compatible system. Windows Central sources also claim that this tier will be relatively cheap, and subscribers can buy games and stream them later.
The above tier makes sense because Xbox Game Pass recently launched on Amazon Fire Stick, allowing users to play Xbox games via the cloud. So releasing a cloud service for gamers on these platforms would increase the user base.
