A recent online poll has surfaced, suggesting that Microsoft is weighing the introduction of a cheaper Xbox Game Pass option. The Windows Center portal appears to be the source of these hints.
The report describes a low-cost tier that would grant access to a game library similar to other Game Pass plans but would include advertisements that appear before gameplay begins. It also implies a single-user policy, restricting play to one person on either PC or Xbox. In contrast, other Game Pass plans allow up to five users across devices such as PCs, consoles, smart TVs, and mobile phones.
The proposed price point for this potential new tier is reported as around 3 euros (approximately 200 rubles). By comparison, the current cheapest Xbox Live Gold option costs about 7 euros (roughly 480 rubles).
Microsoft has not confirmed the authenticity of the survey results at this time.
Previously, socialbites.ca claimed that the top picks for Christmas gifts included PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
As the gaming subscription market evolves, observers note that any official confirmation would come with clear terms on pricing, regional availability, and whether ads would appear in gameplay or only during menus. Analysts and fans alike will be watching for any official statements that could impact how players access and enjoy Xbox titles across Windows and console ecosystems. The conversation continues as more details emerge, and industry watchers emphasize the importance of transparency and value in any new subscription model.
