UPDATE 5PM BST: I contacted Fernando Rizo to see if I could find out more about what he shared on his podcast. In response, Rizo said: “I definitely don’t want to oversell what I know – not privy to any internal Microsoft conversations. But I had spoken to a number of devs that had Game Pass deals in various stages of negotiation who were told the deals were on hold. I don’t personally think this is the death of Game Pass or anything, probably just a new CEO wanting to get her feet under her desk and everyone aligned on strategy before the Game Pass team starts cutting cheques again.”
