This follows Microsoft’s recent announcement that Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming are coming to select Amazon Fire TV devices.
Recently, Microsoft also announced that it is increasing the prices of Game Pass yet again, in addition to discontinuing the base Xbox Game Pass console tier and replacing it with the new Xbox Game Pass Standard, which will not include day one releases.
That’s as per The Verge’s Tom Warren, who has claimed in the most recent issue of his newsletter, Notepad, that Microsoft might be considering pulling back on its marketing efforts for Xbox consoles in select EMEA markets.
Though Warren says he hasn’t been able to fully verify the same, he was informed by an alleged source that Microsoft’s plan in its newly begun fiscal year is to stop marketing Xbox consoles in select Europe, Middle East, and Asia markets, and instead focus the messaging on Game Pass, cloud gaming, PC gaming, and Xbox controllers.
