There are gamers and pundits with concerns about the future of Xbox Game Pass owing to its amazing low price.

I think it’s going to be a really interesting… as Xbox [Series X] launches next year … and it will be interesting as people think about ‘Wait a minute, I already have this library of games on this platform.” Now, he has added to those remarks.

The Future of Xbox Game Pass Looks to Be Stable

Speaking with Stevivor, Spencer said, “I know some people — I’ve seen it — some people say, ‘Oh, they’re just kind of burning money left and right in order to gain customers so they can trick you into raising the price later. There’s no model like that, for us. We feel good in the business that we’re running now. We’re definitely investing in it, but not investing in a way that’s unsustainable. We’ll do promotional deals and stuff — any service will, but it’s a business and it’s a business that does well.”

Also, Ben Decker at Microsoft said to The Washington Post, “We’re committed to Game Pass being available on the next generation. It’s not an experiment on the current generation of consoles. This is a service that our members can count on being on whatever products we introduce in the future.”

So, it sounds like Xbox Game Pass is here to stay. That is awesome news for fans of the service. Take a look at what is new on Xbox Game Pass, and be sure and sign up if you do not yet have a subscription. It is an amazing deal, and should remain one during the next generation of Xbox.
