Microsoft Launching Xbox All-Access Financing Program

There were rumors last week that Microsoft is launching a new monthly financing program called Xbox All-Access that bundles an Xbox One console with Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass for a monthly fee. That program is real, and it’s currently available on the Microsoft Store.Xbox All-Access gives subscribers a Xbox One X or Xbox One S, Xbox Live Gold, and Xbox Game Pass for no upfront cost as long as they sign a two-year contract. The Xbox One S plan starts at $22 per month, while the Xbox One X plan starts at $35. That price is pretty comparable, if not less than, what useres would pay to buy the products separately. A Xbox One X costs $500, while Xbox Live is $60 per year and Game Pass is $10 per month.All-Access is a financing program, not a leasing program, and it’s similar to how smartphone plans work. Members own the consoles they finance, while the monthly fee covers the cost of both the hardware and the services. The deal reportedly works with any Xbox One hardware or bundle.
