New leaks suggest that Microsoft is planning further significant changes related to Xbox Game Pass. The company is working on new subscriptions intended for the Chinese market and a system that allows games to be transferred from discs to a digital library.
Microsoft is reportedly preparing new versions of Game Pass
According to information published by Windows Central, the internal project for the new subscriptions is called "Saluki". The packages are primarily aimed at the Chinese market, where platforms like Valve Corporation and Steam have gained enormous popularity. The details of the new subscription plans remain a mystery, but Microsoft is reportedly looking to attract gamers in China more strongly and increase the significance of the Xbox ecosystem there. The company has been increasingly focusing on Game Pass as a key pillar of its gaming strategy for some time.

The leak again mentions the mysterious project "Positron". According to sources, Microsoft is exploring the possibility of creating a system that converts physical games into digital licences assigned to the user's account. This is to prepare for future Xbox consoles, which according to earlier leaks may completely eliminate disc drives. Such a system would allow access to older collections of games even on hardware that operates solely digitally.
Microsoft is already developing different variants of Game Pass, an example being the recent combination of the subscription with the Discord Nitro service. The company is clearly trying to increase the number of Xbox users beyond traditional consoles. There are also increasing signals that the next generation of Xbox is to be more akin to a PC and primarily based on digital distribution of games and subscription services.
