Xbox Responds to Game Pass Day One Release Rumour

Did you hear the latest rumour about Xbox Game Pass? Apparently, there's chatter that Game Pass might stop including day one releases in 2027. But Xbox has already responded, so let's break it down.

The rumour started from a ResetEra moderator, who claimed they don't post rumours unless they have "some meat on the bone." Well-known leaker NateTheHate backed them up, saying the person has a track record with successful rumours. That gave the rumour some weight, even though it was still in a grey area.

Xbox didn't stay quiet for long. In an update, they said: "We regularly test different Game Pass offerings..." That's a pretty standard response, but it doesn't exactly deny the rumour either. It's more of a 'we're always experimenting' kind of statement.

So, what does this mean for you? If you're a Game Pass subscriber, day one releases are a huge perk. The idea of losing them in 2027 is definitely concerning. But remember, this is just a rumour for now, and Xbox hasn't confirmed anything.

We've seen rumours like this before, and sometimes they turn out to be true, sometimes not. The fact that NateTheHate has suggested the source has a good track record makes it more believable, but it's still not official.

Xbox is clearly keeping an eye on the situation, and their response shows they're aware of the chatter. They didn't outright deny it, but they also didn't confirm it. It's a waiting game at this point.

For now, it's probably best not to panic. Game Pass is still going strong, and day one releases are still happening. But it's something to keep in mind for the future.

What do you think? Would you still subscribe to Game Pass if day one releases were dropped? Let us know in the comments!
