Ditch it and add day one Xbox games. Perhaps you can roll in World of Warcraft or Minecraft Realms subscriptions instead, or even other benefits like Netflix, per rumors, or the long-awaited Xbox Game Pass Family Plan.

Microsoft has leaked "Duet" and "Triton" codenames for Xbox Game Pass via its back-end APIs recently, suggesting that packages of services are in the plan's future. Don't want Xbox Cloud Gaming? Remove it and lower the price. No need for Fortnite Crew?

Microsoft sources tell me that the longer-term goal for Xbox Game Pass is to make it more flexible. A sort of "pick your own plan" formula for Xbox Game Pass is on the cards, essentially, where users can effectively decide what packages of content they want to see as part of their plan.
