Microsoft reportedly spends one billion dollars a year to bring third-party games to its Game Pass subscription service.

Bloomberg reported that, "Microsoft now spends $1 billion a year getting third-party games on the subscription service." The site said Microsoft offers "flat fees of millions of dollars upfront" to add titles from smaller publishers to Game Pass.

If you’ve been holding off renewing your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Membership, the time may have finally come. While a three-month membership is normally $50, there’s actually a way to pay less for the same service.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers can share their subscriptions on Xbox consoles by setting a home Xbox. On PC, players have to sign into dedicated apps.
