Xbox Game Pass is getting MAJOR changes, with a new tier without day one games, and a range of price increases
Xbox Game Pass is finally getting its long-awaited price increase.
We all knew it was coming. Game pass gets a price increase and a new more expensive tier for day 1 games.
I honestly can't imagine paying $20/month for it. PC game pass will still get day 1 games at $12/month (was $10 before this) but it's still not great value, and the trend of where this is going is so obvious that I wouldn't want to bother using it anyways.
You're viewing a single thread.
It is absolutely beyond me how there is a single soul that didn’t know where this was going the very day Gamepass was announced lol
I’m still glad I paid for it when it was a good deal. It’s not like I was committed. The unsubscribe button is pretty easy, and I don’t need to play a lot of those singleplayer games anymore.
You can just drop the sub now that it isn't worth it.
Don’t need to, never had it lol
I got a ton of hate online when they announced the Activision deal and I said that though they’d get COD for “free” but they would almost immediately start hiking the price a lot. This has been obvious but some people refuse to think MS wasn’t going to try and recoup their $70B?
I think people just expected them to wait until it had a larger subscriber base to make these changes. This seems like it will really kill growth.
Larger?! Doesn't it already have like 30 million subscribers already? That seems pretty solid to me ha
Does that include xbox gamepass core customers? Because that's basically an entirely different service, and it's also something you'd expect a very high adoption rate of among Xbox console owners, given the platform's historical emphasis on multiplayer games. There's also rather a lot of people who stacked many months of gamepass for quite cheap.
While the platform has certainly seen some success, it's hardly in a dominant position, so making moves that make the value proposition of the service look worse is surprising.
So? No one is forced to continue paying
What does that have to do with what I said?
Your post was a strawman
Not in the slightest.
It 100% is. You criticise people for a viewpoint which no one was expressing
I did no such thing lol. People had to be surprised by this turn of events based on the response to it in this very thread. Whether or not people are forced to continue paying for it has nothing to do with anything I said, speaking of straw men.
