## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs Xbox-specific or Game Pass-specific news rather than general gaming industry news. Prefer this over the broader gaming news endpoint (GameSpot/IGN) when the user specifically asks about Game Pass library changes or Microsoft/Xbox platform announcements. Ideal for consumer-facing agents that track subscription game library updates on a recurring basis.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window is too narrow and no new items have been published
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a 400 error
- Limit values outside 1–50 will be rejected
- Query terms that don't match Xbox feed vocabulary return empty result sets

## How this service works

Xbox platform: Game Pass additions, first-party news. 'What's on Game Pass now' is a real recurring consumer query with high bot value

## Output

A list of news items sourced from Xbox-specific feeds, each containing headline, summary, source, and publication timestamp. Results reflect Game Pass additions, Microsoft first-party game news, and platform announcements. Default returns up to 10 items; can be filtered by freshness window or keyword query.
