We've heard rumours in recent months about how Xbox might be planning some kind of overhaul to Game Pass in the near future, and now the folks at Fortune have also reported that something big is coming to the service.

The outlet says that "according to people familiar with the strategy", Xbox Game Pass will soon allow players to "choose features à la carte", including add-ons for "console-only games, cloud gaming, and multiplayer".

Here's the part in the report that mentions this:

"Xbox is planning a major overhaul of Game Pass that would have players choose features à la carte, including add-ons for console-only games, cloud gaming, and multiplayer, with the system operating on a tiered structure, according to people familiar with the strategy."

We've already had a taste of this in recent times with the announcement that Xbox Cloud Gaming will soon come with time limits for Xbox Game Pass members, and buying extra time will be available as an optional add-on.

It sounds like they're going to be taking this one step further with the "à la carte" style system, although the wording here is still very vague and it remains to be seen how it'll shape up. We've already had multiplayer-exclusive and console-exclusive services related to Xbox Live and Game Pass in the past, so are we going back to that kind of thing?

Might it be a situation where you just tick boxes for the things you want, and the price rises accordingly? We'll have to wait and see, but it's certainly an interesting development for Game Pass in any case.

How do you think this'll work? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.
