So don't worry, everyone.

But this is one of the more tangible steps that Xbox has taken.

Matt, we talked plenty about the Game Pass price hikes when those happened.

Do you think this is sufficient to bring people back into the tent?

‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

Yes.

And remember that whole, this is an Xbox campaign.

Now it's not an Xbox anymore.

There's a lot of, you know, publicizing of internal memos and notes.

And there's a lot of we're reevaluating this and we're thinking about that and we're not quite ready to divulge our plans.

But it's also somewhat frustrating in that there's a lot of sort of hot air and kind of pandering to the base and you can change a logo, but...

you're going to need to do something more significant than that.

And to be fair, the Game Pass price drop is an actual tangible change.

The Ringer-Verse

So the Game Pass growth has sort of slowed and stagnated.
