Looking Ahead
As Xbox Game Pass faces competition from other gaming services, fans may be concerned about the future quality of the platform. With PlayStation players now able to stream games directly from PS Plus, Xbox may need to step up its game to retain its player base.
While the library of games for Game Pass Ultimate members remains strong, other subscribers may feel the offerings have dwindled in recent months. It remains to be seen if Xbox will make improvements to the service in the near future.
