Fans are puzzled as Xbox Game Pass deals surfed up on the Microsoft store
The playing field has indeed changed a whole lot ever since PlayStation made the announcement of Project Spartacus. This live-subscription service will offer a four-tier subscription system that will offer a massive library of titles from both PS4 and PS5. Fans will be able to freely download titles they want based on the subscription tier that they have subscribed to.
Here are some fans reacting to it.
This fan is calling it a glitch, which has caused these titles to surface on the Microsoft store. He also stated that these titles do not carry any discount which makes it even weirder.
It’s a glitch because they’re not discounted. Also game pass deal is literally deals with gold rebranded

Other fan suggested that the low asking price of Sony’s live service is the reason behind this move. He believes, this isn’t a glitch at all, and Xbox is truly trying to outbid Sony by lower the prices even more.
Microsoft going crazy after seen low price and twice the games sony offering
and they making mess cos they have no idea how to respond.
