Windows 365 is currently available across Business and Enterprise tiers in the USA. It starts at $32 per month for each user, and offers a dual-core CPU in the cloud with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage. The top-tier Business plan boosts the cloud PC specs to an 8-core CPU, 32GB RAM, and 152 GB of storage at $162 per month.
For comparison, the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, which is available to gaming enthusiasts across the world, costs $9.99 for the basic tier. According to internal documents seen by Windows Central, Microsoft is reportedly planning a family plan for its consumer-focused Windows 365 tier that will allow parents to keep an eye on their children’s computing activities and hop in if they need help.
But it looks like Microsoft will follow in the footsteps of its Xbox gaming strategy to hawk Windows 365, too. It is no secret that Microsoft sells consoles at a loss and recoups the costs from services like the Xbox Game Pass subscription.
Recently, it was revealed that the company even shifted the resource allocation to focus more on boosting the cloud infrastructure instead of ramping up the production of its short-in-supply Xbox consoles. The focus is evident and the foundations are ready. It’s just a matter of time before Microsoft decides on a price that is palatable to an average Windows user and offers enough benefits for them to consider splurging on it.
