Microsoft is reportedly planning a substantial revamp of Xbox Game Pass that would let subscribers choose individual features in an a la carte format, according to a Fortune profile of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma published October 20, 2026. Details of the plan remain limited, but the report signals a potential shift away from the service's current fixed-tier subscription model. The news comes amid broader scrutiny of Xbox's strategy under Sharma, as the company also faces reports about steep future hardware pricing, suggesting Microsoft is reassessing how it monetizes its ecosystem.
