Xbox Series X Will Push Subscription Model For Next-Gen Launch, Phil Spencer Says
Microsoft is going to push its smartphone-style All Access subscription program for the Xbox Series X launch later this year. Speaking to IGN, Spencer said Microsoft is looking to “go big” with Xbox All Access for the launch of the Xbox Series X later this year.
In fact, Spencer used the plural, saying Microsoft will “go big with [Xbox All Access] at the launch of the consoles.” He might have simply misspoke, or he might have been referring to Microsoft’s previously discussed plan to launch more than one next-generation console this year.
In addition to the Xbox Series X, Microsoft is reportedly working on a lower-cost next-gen Xbox under the codename Lockhart. The “Series X” name designates the model name of the next-gen Xbox, which leaves room for Microsoft to release more next-generation consoles beyond the one we know about.
