Last year, Xbox Game Pass got a massive, 50% price hike that made the top tier of the subscription service a whopping $30 per month. New Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma seems to recognize that's a problem, according to a leaked memo which suggests she's keen to offer a cheaper – or at least "more flexible" option for players.
"Game Pass is central to gaming value on Xbox," Sharma says in an internal memo to Xbox employees, which was obtained and published by The Verge. "It's also clear that the current model isn't the final one. Short term, Game Pass has become too expensive for players, so we need a better value equation. Long term, we will evolve Game Pass into a more flexible system which will take time to test and learn around."
