Ex-PlayStation boss says Microsoft is ‘trying so hard to get ‘Xbox Game Pass’ back to health’ and suggests ‘a clarifying post-mortem would do the whole industry good’

• Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden has suggested that Xbox can’t store Game Pass
• Layden said Xbox is “trying so hard to bring this to health” despite the current issues
• This comes after a leaked memo from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma revealed plans to “evolve” the “expensive” service

Former PlayStation executive Shawn Layden has suggested Microsoft may not save Xbox Game Pass, following comments from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma about wanting to “evolve” the service.

Earlier this week, a leaked staff memo obtained and reported on by The Verge showed Sharma admitting that the subscription service is now too expensive for members, as she outlined a brief plan for how she wants to change things, writing: “Game Pass is central to gaming value on Xbox. It’s also clear that the current model is not the final one.”
