Xbox consoles gain 1440p streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers

Microsoft is rolling out 1440p game streaming on Xbox consoles for Game Pass Ultimate members, delivering higher-bitrate streams on Series X/S and Xbox One X/One when displays support it; games you own outside Game Pass can be streamed as of 2025. The update also adds PC‑app navigation sounds, easier removable-storage formatting on ASUS ROG Xbox Ally devices with driver updates, and comes as Microsoft reshapes its gaming leadership with Asha Sharma taking over from Phil Spencer.

Forza Horizon 6 Hikes Early Access Price, Sparking Fan Backlash

Kotaku reports that Forza Horizon 6 raises the cost for early access: Premium Edition is now $120, and even Game Pass Ultimate subscribers must pay $60 to upgrade for four days of early play (up from $50). The article argues this ‘early access tax’ is steep, especially since Horizon 6 is a $70 title and the delay is only a few days. The game launches May 19 on PC and Xbox, with Premium access on May 15 and a PS5 release planned later this year.
