Microsoft could be working on cloud version of Game Pass, ‘exploring potential’ for ad-based tier

Mircosoft has recently gone the extra mile with its Xbox Game Pass service, undergoing a near-total restructuring. Following its axing of the Game Pass for Consoles and introduction of Game Pass Standard, the company could be working on new tiers based on the cloud or featuring ads.

Windows Central brought this information forward in a July 22 report. Jez Corden claims that Microsoft is “working towards a cloud-only version” of Game Pass at a lower price than the Ultimate tier. This new variant would be aimed at those who do not wish to purchase an Xbox console or do not own consoles. Cloud-based services have been removed from the lower tiers of Game Pass when Microsoft hiked prices, and some services, such as Game Pass for consoles, were discontinued entirely. The company might now want to provide cloud gaming to owners of lower tiers rather than just Ultimate subscribers.
