Xbox Game Pass plant anpassbare Pakete nach Leaks zu 'Duet' und 'Triton' bei gleichzeitigen Preissenkungen

Nach den gestrigen Preissenkungen beim Xbox Game Pass, die Call-of-Duty-Titel zum Start ausschließen, deuten Berichte auf ein kommendes flexibles Abosystem hin, das es Nutzern ermöglichen soll, ihre Pakete individuell zusammenzustellen und die Kosten potenziell weiter zu senken. Jez Corden von Windows Central erläutert die kolportierten modularen Optionen.

Im Nachgang zu Microsofts Ankündigung vom 21. April, die Preise für den Xbox Game Pass Ultimate um 23 % zu senken (auf 22,99 US-Dollar monatlich in den USA) und neue Call-of-Duty-Titel um etwa ein Jahr zu verschieben – Teil der Erschwinglichkeitsinitiative von CEO Asha Sharma – sind neue Details zu zukünftigen Erweiterungen bekannt geworden. Der Windows Central-Reporter Jez Corden, der den Preisrückgang korrekt vorhergesagt hatte, berichtet, dass der Game Pass es Nutzern bald ermöglichen könnte, ihre Pläne anzupassen, indem sie Komponenten wie Xbox Cloud Gaming, Fortnite Crew, EA Play oder Ubisoft+ Classics abwählen. 'Nutzer können effektiv entscheiden, welche Inhaltspakete sie als Teil ihres Abos sehen möchten', schreibt Corden. Die durchgesickerten Microsoft-Backend-APIs enthüllen die Codenamen 'Duet' und 'Triton', was auf modulare Bündel hindeutet, die Alternativen wie World-of-Warcraft-Abonnements oder einen Xbox Game Pass Family Plan integrieren könnten. Dies baut auf Sharmas laufenden Reformen auf, nachdem die Preiserhöhungen von 2023 bis 2025 und interne Analysen zeigten, dass der Day-One-Zugang zu Call of Duty der Monetarisierung im Spiel geschadet hat, da Abonnenten weniger Battle-Pässe und Skins kauften.
