Regarding the price of Game Pass he commented:
First, we always want to give you options about how you build your library. You can subscribe to Game Pass and play or purchase the game. Currently, millions of users have subscribed to Xbox Game Pass and many of them are happy to use it. Although the main premise is to add more value, I think the price is inevitable to rise in the future. We have recently increased our prices once, but the decision was made after careful consideration. We believe it is important to provide services that are recognized as being of sufficient value, even if prices increase.
