‘Fable’ May Be The Last Straw For Day One On Xbox Game Pass

Forbes was first to suggest that Fable may be the last game to be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. The outlet noted that Microsoft is reevaluating its day-one release strategy for the service. Other outlets picked up on this theme. Windows Report, PlayFront, Notebookcheck and Tech4Gamers all noted that Fable's release could be the last day-one Game Pass release.

Tech Times also noted that Halo, another Microsoft property, posted series-low Steam numbers. However, the idea that Fable will be the last day-one Game Pass release is not universally accepted. OpenCritic, IMDb and VICE all noted that several games are leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of July. Theverge.com, PCMag, CNET and mobalytics.gg all noted that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is currently available at a discount.

Theverge.com and PCMag both noted that three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can be purchased for almost half off. The idea that Fable may be the last day-one Game Pass release is not universally accepted. However, the fact that several games are leaving the service at the end of July suggests that Microsoft is reevaluating its strategy. The current discount on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate may be an attempt to attract new subscribers before any changes are made.
