Heads up, subscription collectors: Netflix and Xbox have casually discussed packaging their services together. That is, Netflix and Xbox Game Pass in one neat checkout moment, if both companies can make the math work.
What was said
Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters confirmed conversations with Asha Sharma, the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming, about the possibility of a bundle that combines Netflix and Xbox Game Pass. Peters said they have "kicked around ideas" and advised people not to "eliminate any possibilities."
Why this is not a done deal
Peters emphasized the obvious but important point: any bundle has to be a win for customers and for the companies involved. He noted that Microsoft is still figuring out how to make a Game Pass bundle work for Microsoft, which suggests this would not be a slapdash offering but something that needs careful design.
New leadership, new questions
Peters also praised Sharma's approach, quoting her focus on expansion with the line, "How do we do more?" That attitude appears to be driving talks about options like joint subscriptions or other ways to increase the value of Game Pass.
Other Game Pass moves to watch
- Previous reporting indicated Microsoft has been experimenting with bundling third-party services into Game Pass, though big changes were not expected in 2026.
- There are claims the new Xbox leadership is exploring lower-priced Game Pass tiers to make the service more appealing to a broader audience.
- Recent Game Pass additions for March included big names such as Resident Evil 7 and Cyberpunk 2077, along with titles like Planet of Lana 2 and Disco Elysium appearing across the two waves of releases.
What to take away
Right now, this is at the discussion stage. Netflix and Xbox have talked about bundling, but no agreement or launch plan has been announced. The idea makes sense on paper: one bill, more perceived value. The tricky part is getting the pricing and business arrangements right so both companies gain and customers feel they get a better deal.
