No wonder Game Pass feels like a never-ending candy store for gamers—Xbox dropping over a billion bucks each year is like a cheat code for snagging an epic library. And with Phil Spencer keeping the service exclusive to Xbox, it's obvious they're doubling down as the cool clubhouse where console gamers wanna hang.

Xbox dropping a cool billion on Game Pass offerings is seriously upping the game for subscription services; it's like they're building a Netflix for gaming. Sticking to Xbox and PC exclusivity, meanwhile, is a power move that shows they're doubling down on rewarding their own ecosystem's players with some hefty value.
