This week on The Expansion Pass, we’re breaking down one of the most important shifts happening in gaming right now.
Is Xbox Game Pass becoming too expensive?
New data shows subscription spending is rising fast—but Xbox leadership is already signaling concern about pricing and long-term value. Meanwhile, PlayStation continues its steady approach with PS Plus, and Nintendo’s Switch 2 is helping drive major hardware growth.
We also dive into Metro 2039’s reveal and how real-world events are shaping its story in a major way.

🎯 Topics include:
<ul>
<li>Game Pass pricing concerns and future direction</li>
<li>PS5 vs Switch 2 (Circana data breakdown)</li>
<li>Metro 2039 reveal and thematic shift</li>
<li>PlayStation Plus April lineup</li>
<li>Rockstar security concerns ahead of GTA VI</li>
</ul>

🎮 Also discussed:

<li>Fur Squadron Phoenix impressions</li>
<li>Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel</li>
