## Summary

Microsoft is reportedly planning to let Xbox Game Pass subscribers choose which features they pay for, replacing or supplementing the service’s fixed bundles. The change could give customers more control over costs and make Game Pass more attractive, though it is unclear whether it would reverse Xbox’s wider business difficulties.

The reported à la carte options could include console games, cloud gaming and online multiplayer, with a tiered structure; details have not been confirmed. Current plans range from Essential at $10 a month, with more than 50 games, to Ultimate at $23, with over 500 games and bundled services. Xbox has also begun previewing game streaming for people without a Game Pass subscription.
