Changes to Xbox Game Pass tiers are inbound due to the rumored inclusion of the new Call Duty on Microsoft's subscription service.

Xbox fans, and some of their employees, were blindsided earlier this month when Microsoft announced a number of their studios were being shuttered, including the “gut stab” closure of Arkane Austin, developer of the acclaimed Prey and the more troubled Redfall.

That’s big news, but most of the games mentioned so far have been projects that were acquired by Microsoft after they began development, not traditional core Xbox franchises like Halo or Gears of War. Well, it seems like even those may be about to make the jump. On the most recent episode of Game Mess Mornings, wanton leaker Jeff Grubb had […]
