Microsoft Employees Retain Free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Despite Complaints

Microsoft has reversed its decision to remove the free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate benefit for its employees after receiving complaints. Xbox chief Phil Spencer personally looked into the situation and confirmed that there will be no change to Game Pass availability in 2024. Microsoft employees will continue to have free access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a benefit they have enjoyed since its launch in 2019. The initial decision to remove the benefit was not known to Spencer and appears to have been a benefits/HR decision.
