Pure Xbox • • technology
Key Points:
- Asha Sharma, the new Xbox boss at Microsoft, is reportedly exploring ways to lower costs and make Xbox Game Pass and consoles more appealing to a broader audience, potentially through new pricing tiers.
- There are ongoing rumors about introducing ads into Xbox Game Pass to support a lower-cost subscription tier, although no official plans have been confirmed.
- Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters has met with Sharma to discuss possible future subscription bundle partnerships between Xbox and Netflix, but no concrete plans are currently in place.
- Sharma's considerations reflect her early stage in the role and the exploratory nature of her approach, with no guarantees that proposed changes will be implemented.
- Observers advise caution in interpreting these reports, as they provide partial insight and Xbox Game Pass has historically seen price increases rather than reductions.
