Microsoft could be preparing a highly anticipated feature for the Xbox Store. A recent leak has discovered references within the official website’s code that point to the arrival of the “Buy now, pay later” system, a modality that would allow dividing the cost of certain products into several payments.

For now, there is no official announcement, but the text chains found make direct reference to two of the most well-known platforms in this type of service: PayPal Pay Later and Klarna.

PayPal and Klarna could arrive at the Xbox Store

According to the leaked information, the future feature would offer different options to fractionate purchases made from the Xbox ecosystem.

Among the references found are messages such as:

• “Buy what you want and pay later”.
• Options to divide the payment over weeks or months.
• Integration with PayPal Pay Later.
• Compatibility with Klarna Flexible Payments.
• Specific buttons to continue the process with each platform.

A new integrated payment feature

Additionally, the text refers to modalities such as payment in four interest-free installments or longer financing plans, although the exact conditions and countries where it would be available are still unknown. The leak suggests that this feature would be integrated directly into the Xbox website, facilitating the purchase of games, consoles, or accessories through deferred payments.

As with this type of discovery, it’s wise to take the information with caution. The presence of these references in the code does not guarantee that the feature will finally arrive to the public, as Microsoft may be conducting internal tests or developing features that never get activated.

Still, the possible incorporation of PayPal Pay Later and Klarna would mean a new alternative for Xbox users and would align Microsoft’s digital store with a trend that is becoming increasingly widespread in e-commerce.
