Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that it would further increase the price of XGP and cancel the basic version of XGP for consoles, replacing it with the new XGP Standard. This subscription level will not include any content released on the first day.


According to Windows Central, Microsoft is planning to launch a new cloud-based subscription tier for XGP to provide a cheaper alternative to XGP Ultimate. It is speculated that this tier of XGP will include the first release games, but it is aimed at potential users who do not have an Xbox console, which means that the service may also be available for competitor platforms. It is said that users can also purchase games in the XGP library separately in digital form while subscribing to the new package.

The report also said that Microsoft may also consider launching a family and friends plan for XGP, an idea that Microsoft had previously tried in some regions but eventually abandoned. In addition, Microsoft is said to be exploring packages that include advertising, but is not actively promoting this plan at present.
