Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- A ResetEra moderator, Slayven, shared a rumor suggesting Microsoft plans to significantly change its Game Pass subscription model, including a small price reduction but removing day-one new game releases from the service.
- The rumor states that cloud gaming will be separated into its own add-on costing $5.99 for 25 hours, with additional family plans and online multiplayer becoming separate subscriptions.
- These changes would mark a major shift, removing Game Pass's defining feature of day-one blockbuster releases, though Microsoft has already begun distancing new Call of Duty releases from the service.
- Insider Nate the Hate supports Slayven's credibility based on past accurate information, but the timeline and details remain uncertain and should be treated cautiously.
- Confusion remains over cloud gaming plans, as Microsoft recently announced reduced but continued cloud gaming hours for subscribers, raising questions about the rumor's accuracy.
