Microsoft may be preparing to launch Xbox Game Pass in China. Code references found in the latest Xbox PC app update point to a project called 'Project Saluki' that is described as a 'China market expansion for Game Pass, Rewards, and subscription tiers.' The discovery was reported by The Verge.
Code references suggest China expansion
Microsoft has been selling consoles in China for years and already sells games through Activision Blizzard in the region. However, not all games may be approved by Chinese regulators, which could result in a smaller library or a China-specific subscription tier.
The company has not officially confirmed the expansion. The evidence is based on code strings in the app update, and the details remain unconfirmed.
Microsoft has not provided a timeline or further specifics about the potential launch. The Verge first reported on the code references.
