Xbox Game Pass Standard Tier in Testing? What’s This About? 🤔

[Tony01]

Hey folks,

Just came across some interesting news—looks like Xbox is testing out a new “Standard” tier for Game Pass!

So, the details are still pretty vague, but from what I’m gathering, this could mean a shake-up in how we’re all accessing games on Game Pass. Maybe they’re looking at offering a cheaper option with fewer perks, or there could be some new features on the horizon. Either way, it’s got me curious about what Xbox is cooking up.

Anyone else hear about this?

Introducing a Standard tier for Xbox Game Pass could be Microsoft’s way of making the service more accessible to a broader audience. If they price it lower, it might attract those who’ve been on the fence about subscribing.

However, I’m curious about what features might be trimmed down compared to the Ultimate tier—could we be looking at a package with fewer games, no PC access, or maybe limited multiplayer options? While it’s great to see them experimenting, I hope they strike a good balance between value and affordability, ensuring that each tier offers something genuinely appealing.
