Do you think this could work for Game Pass, I've been thinking about how I'd change it recently if I had the financial ability to kill Xbox Live, Lol.

Game Pass Lite

  • Rebranding of "Game Pass Core" to "Game Pass Lite"
  • Xbox Live Removed - Multiplayer Now Free
  • No 3rd Parties
  • 1st Parties Only - 12 Months After Release
  • Stick it on Steam.

Game Pass Regular

  • Merge Game Pass Console and Game Pass PC into one.
  • 1st Parties on Launch + 3rd Parties.

Game Pass Ultimate

  • All The Benefits of Regular
  • Additional Benefits: EA Access, xCloud, 1st Party DLC.

Question: Would the added benefits of 1st Party DLC for Ultimate, along with EA Access and xCloud, be enough to convince you to stick to Ultimate if Xbox Live no longer existed? Would Game Pass Lite be bigger or smaller than it is right now, without the addition of Xbox Live, but with all 1st Parties (12 Months After Release) and it being available on Steam?

I've been thinking lately that I really don't like how there's Game Pass Xbox and Game Pass PC, I think it would be better streamlined, like we don't have TV Subscription services separated by device, they're just one sub, I also don't think merging them both would hurt Xbox's bottom line much either, it'd be so much clearer and also Xbox Live makes things too awkward but I get it's harder to get rid of that.

The idea is great but I think that 1st Parties after 6months instead of 12 is better because if you just have access to the 1st party, the catalog will be quickly "dry"
