Microsoft’s moves around artificial intelligence have been constant and quite visible in Windows, Xbox, and mobile apps for months. That’s why it’s no surprise that the company is exploring new uses for this technology in its flagship service as well. In recent hours, several Reddit users have shared an official survey where they are directly asked about the possibility of integrating AI functions into the Game Pass subscription.

The topic has quickly generated conversation. Some players see it as logical that Microsoft wants to extend its AI bet to all its products, while others show some concern about what it could mean for the service’s price or the traditional console experience.

AI in Game Pass: what the survey suggests

The mentioned form does not detail specific features, but it does ask if users would be interested in seeing AI-based functions integrated into Game Pass. What’s striking is that the question appears directly associated with the service itself, which has led many to think that Microsoft is studying the addition of these tools as part of a future subscription or a new level, just like what happened with Microsoft 365.

Some community reactions focus on that point: the possibility that this integration will eventually lead to a price increase. Others, on the other hand, simply show skepticism about AI being applied “just for the sake of it”, without a clear benefit for the player. The discussion has been intense: from those who fear systems that offer inaccurate help within games, to those who compare this proposal with features like Merl, the conversational assistant that already exists in Minecraft.

In the more practical aspect, there are also voices trying to downplay the situation. They point out that Xbox already uses recommendation algorithms, and that integrating more advanced models could be limited to improving that area or personalizing the player’s library better. For others, it’s just another survey among many that Microsoft conducts before making a move.

For now, there is no official confirmation or additional details, but it’s clear that the mere proposal has generated debate. And given Microsoft’s strong investment in AI throughout 2025, it wouldn’t be surprising if this type of question is part of the future plans for the Xbox ecosystem.
