Microsoft is reportedly planning to unveil a monthly Xbox subscription service that bundles an Xbox One S or Xbox One X, Xbox Live, and the Xbox Game Pass (the latter of which has been called "the Netflix of games"). Dubbed "All Access," the package's monthly price will change depending on the type of console you get.

According to Windows Central, gamers can expect to pay around $22 per month for an Xbox One S bundle and $35 per month for Xbox One X. The Verge, meanwhile, suggests at least some of the packages would be 24-month subscriptions and that the service has been codenamed "Project Largo" by Microsoft.

Windows Central did the math and the All Access subscription service works out cheaper than buying the bundle at retail price — but only just. However, it is a convenient way to pay for a console in installments, especially if you can't afford to buy a console off the bat.

Current reports suggest All Access is set for a US-only launch, but Microsoft could expand the subscription service in the future.
