New leaks suggest that Microsoft is planning more significant changes related to Xbox Game Pass. The company is said to be working on new subscriptions intended for the Chinese market and a system that allows transferring games 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 PC platforms such as Valve Corporation and Steam have gained immense popularity. The details of the new subscription plans remain a mystery, but Microsoft is reportedly looking to attract more gamers in China and enhance the significance of the Xbox ecosystem there. The company has been increasingly focusing on Game Pass as a key pillar of its gaming strategy.
Positron may allow the transfer of games from discs to a digital library
The leak again mentions the mysterious project "Positron." According to sources, Microsoft is looking into the possibility of creating a system that converts physical games into digital licenses assigned to a 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 game collections even on hardware that operates exclusively digitally.
Microsoft is already developing various versions 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 set to be more like a PC and primarily based on digital game distribution and subscription services.
