Xbox Game Pass 或推“Á La Carte”按项选功能系统

Xbox's Game Pass has long offered relatively few choices, with just three tiers to choose from, with the more expensive plans offering features like day-one game availability, access to certain online games and their more premium features, longer cloud game streaming allotment, and a larger game library. This seems to be on the cusp of changing, though, with a new report from Fortune making mention of an upcoming á la carte service that would allow players to build out their own feature-set for their Game Pass subscription.

The change is described as a planned "overhaul" of Game Pass, suggesting that the existing Game Pass tiered subscriptions may disappear when the new system comes in. An á la carte Game Pass system would allow subscribers to tailor their Game Pass experience, and, while this may result in a more affordable bottom-end for Game Pass, something that Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma, has expressed interest in before, it may also result in a more "complete" Game Pass experience ultimately costing more.

The á la carte Game Pass offering was mentioned as part of Asha Sharma's plan for the future, with the insiders who spoke to Fortune citing a 2027 launch date for the offering. In fact, much of Sharma's current strategy to turn Xbox around—meaning to increase profits, revenue, and player counts—seems to hinge on Xbox exclusive games and Game Pass subscriptions. The Xbox CEO has already increased the top-end Xbox Game Pass pricing earlier in 2026, at the same time as the company introduced the Game Pass Essential tier was introduced.
