More games are added to Game Pass than removed from it almost every month. If and when the Acti Blizz purchase is finished, there could be a huge number of other games added (by my count, there are about 50 Activision-published games on the OG Xbox, and about 170 published on the 360, another 50-ish on Xbox One/Series consoles) and they've said they hope to get as many as possible on there. Possibly through another backwards compatibility update too, now that these games are a priority for the Back Compat team.
A day could come where Microsoft has so much first-party stuff on there, that they'll have little need to add third-party titles. And to the degree they choose to do so, they might not have to pay much for them (Game Pass may have ground to such a point by then that developers want their games on there to get eyeballs on them, and sell DLC/MTX, and sell copies of the game when it leaves Game Pass). Perhaps a day will come where Microsoft essentially gets almost free content for Game Pass from third-parties, if they've grown Game Pass subscribers enough. I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's end-game with the service?
