Xbox Game Pass May Get Bundled Third-Party Services and a PC Merge, New Report Claims

A new Insider Gaming report cites Tom Warren of The Verge, suggesting Microsoft could modify Xbox Game Pass by bundling third‑party services and potentially merging the Game Pass Premium tier with PC Game Pass. This comes after Game Pass Ultimate rose to $29.99/month and a yearly cadence of about 75 day‑one releases, with PC Game Pass currently at $16.49/month for PC access. Warren also cautions that he does not expect changes in 2026. The piece also notes broader Xbox context, including AMD’s hint that the next Xbox could launch in 2027 as a PC‑consol hybrid and a nod to Microsoft’s handheld efforts like the ROG Ally Xbox devices.
