The FTC has expressed concern over recent Xbox Game Pass price increases and the introduction of a new, lower tier that lacks day-one game releases. The agency alleges Microsoft’s actions constitute ‘product degradation’ and are aimed at exercising ‘market power’ in response to Call of Duty’s availability on Game Pass. This latest move follows ongoing scrutiny of the Activision Blizzard acquisition by the FTC, raising questions about Microsoft’s commitment to keeping games accessible across platforms.
