Microsoft's Xbox PC app hints at China expansion for Game Pass

An Xbox PC app update contains code references to Project Saluki, hinting at a possible China expansion for Game Pass, Rewards, and subscription tiers.

The same update also mentions Project Positron, which appears tied to a disc-to-digital conversion feature.

Microsoft has not confirmed either project, so both ideas remain speculative.

A China launch could give Game Pass access to a huge market, but it would require a localized catalog and regulatory approval.

The disc-to-digital hint fits Microsoft’s broader move toward all-digital Xbox hardware and services.
