Double Down on Game Pass
Game Pass is the Xbox brand’s redeeming feature at the moment. Quite possibly the only thing that kept them from fading into obscurity last generation.
We’ve already seen several high-quality titles shuffle in and out of the library. Subscriptions are increasing at an incredible rate, and PC players are feeling increasingly inclined to subscribe.
Game Pass has proven its worth at least in terms of appealing to gamers, but now it’s time for Microsoft to really double down on the service. Of course, the first-party output as previously mentioned will help, but third-party titles are always among the most popular games on the market.
Microsoft has already taken steps in the right direction with the inclusion of EA Play, but now maybe it’s time to start looking at third-party launch availability too.
There were rumors back in October of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla being included in Game Pass at launch, but those have since been debunked. However, a move like that could be that final push Microsoft needs to finally win over the nay-sayers.
