Microsoft is bringing back its all-inclusive Xbox One subscription deal, and it includes an upgrade plan for the next-generation Xbox

As an added incentive, gamers who invest in the Xbox All-Access plan during the next year will be able to upgrade to Microsoft's next-generation console, Project Scarlett, when the new machine launches during the 2020 holiday season. Gattis said All-Access subscribers who make 12 monthly payments toward an Xbox One will be able to upgrade their plan to get Project Scarlett next year, but pricing will be determined at a later date.

"We thought that while launching Xbox All-Access, while great, we might have a lot of people who are still on the fence thinking 'Hey, do I really want to buy a console this year?' When I know a gen-nine console is coming next year?" Gattis said.

The Xbox All-Access upgrade program is a promotional deal that will continue after Project Scarlett is released. However, All-Access subscribers who enter the program after November 2020 will have to make 18 payments before upgrading to Scarlett.
