Possible new tier ‘TRITON’
It seems Microsoft may soon expand its Xbox Game Pass subscription lineup, as new reports suggest it is working on a new tier. Codenamed ‘TRITON,’ this new plan is rumored to include only first-party titles developed by Xbox Game Studios.
The Twitter user ‘@redphx‘ found the information from the Microsoft backend through data mining. Let’s check out more details in this article.
A First-Party only subscription tier for Xbox Game Pass
A well-known dataminer has identified references to this new layer in Microsoft’s backend systems. Unlike the existing Game Pass plans, which offer a mix of third-party, indie and first-party titles, this new tier TRITON may only provide the Xbox Game Studios titles.
In the leaked list, there were many popular titles included, such as DOOM Eternal, Dishonored 2, Fable Anniversary, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Gears 5, Halo 5, Halo 2, Hellblade, Ori 1, State of Decay 2 and The Elder Scrolls Online.
For many years, Xbox players and subscribers have requested a cheaper Xbox Game Pass option that will only focus on the first-party games.
This new tier could do the job for the gamers who are mainly interested in the Xbox Studio exclusive games rather than other indie and third-party titles.
Microsoft can also retain the subscribers, especially after the recent price changes across existing Game Pass tiers, which have led many subscribers to cancel their subscriptions.
