Xbox Game Pass has become a benchmark in gaming thanks to its more than 400 titles available with a single subscription.
However, maintaining that library comes at a multi-million dollar cost: figures have leaked ranging from US$50,000 to US$50 million per game.
What Microsoft pays for each game on Game Pass
Former Microsoft business manager Iain MacIntyre revealed that the company has paid from US$50,000 for indie titles to US$50,000,000 for AAA games.
The data became public after the recent layoffs at Xbox and was shared by analyst @bogorad222, a specialist in tracking executive profiles.
How much does it cost to maintain a subscription like Xbox Game Pass?
The figures clearly show Microsoft's financial effort to sustain a service that adds titles such as DOOM: Dark Ages, Oblivion Remastered, or Expedition 33 to its 2025 catalog.
