To be fair to Microsoft, Xbox Game Pass has plenty of quality exclusives.
The high-profilelayoffsthat followed, and anannouncementthat served as a bizarre proof of life further muddled matters.
It’s unclear if Infinite will ever be able to bounce back from its rocky post-launch period.
However, it shouldn’t be counted out entirely; it is Halo, after all.
Game Pass is a unique value proposition at the moment, but that could change in the coming years.
The early years of streaming services are an interesting point of comparison here.
Those hypothetical rivals could sap support from Game Pass, which could eat into its market share over time.
This same effect may come for Game Pass over time.
Currently, I would argue that Xbox Game Pass is the “hidden gems” service.
And on that point, I think many people would agree that Xbox is lagging behind the competition.
Regardless of the specific changes, something does have to give when it comes to its blockbusters.
Perhaps Starfield can help quiet the waters.
