Recently, rumors indicate that Xbox Game Pass is about to usher in major adjustments, including changes in PC Game Pass, Ultimate-level price increases, and new, cheaper, ad-supported versions.

Rumors come from Slayven, moderator of ResetERA forum.He said the source is reliable and has provided accurate information in the past.The specific time of these changes is unclear, but some may be launched next year.

The first major change is that PC Game Pass will be gradually cancelled. It is speculated that if players want to play Game Pass on the PC, they can only choose the Ultimate version.The price of Ultimate subscription is said to rise to $25 in the United States, but the specific time is uncertain, and this price increase may also be postponed to 2026.

It is rumored that there will be no major adjustments to the Xbox Game Pass Core and Standard subscription hierarchies, but they will be renamed to "Game Pass Essential" and "Game Pass Premium" respectively, which corresponds to the subscription hierarchy of PlayStation Plus.

The biggest change is said to be coming in 2026, which is to join the subscription hierarchy that supports ads.This tier may be available for free, but with time limits and mandatory ads will be inserted.

Since the information in this report cannot be verified at this moment, we need to be quite cautious about these rumors.However, considering the ever-changing gaming market and the frequent adjustments to the Game Pass service in recent years, these rumors are not completely unreliable.

The controversy over the Xbox Game Pass has been very intense since its launch in 2017.If these changes really come, the controversy will only be even more intense.Although Microsoft has never publicly disclosed the specific performance of the service, it is rumored to be in good condition.Therefore, the company will still focus on developing Game Pass in the future.Chris Charla, head of Xbox's ID@Xbox project, has confirmed that the service is not only welcomed by partners, but 2025 is also the year Microsoft invests the most in Game Pass.
