Xbox has been in what seems like a constant state of flux since Asha Sharma took over as CEO in February. The Microsoft gaming division has gone through layoffs, studio sales and tweaks to its core products and services as Sharma has attempted to turn the brand into a viable business, and bigger changes are reportedly on the way. Alongside the possibility that its next-gen Project Helix consoles could start at $1,800, the company is apparently also revamping its Game Pass subscription to make it much more flexible.
