I wonder how much the monthly points for it will increase? Since I’m using the auto redeem option.
I guess I should also consider unsubbing every couple of months.
Just one more “Fuck you” from MS to the Xbox consoles.
The new tier is… blegh.
The removal of Xbox Game Pass Console sucks, was great value for those who weren’t interested on playing online.
20$ for GPU isn’t a bad deal, but it’s not cheap stuff anymore, good for some, not so much for others, if it included stuff like expansions it’d be nice
Surprisingly the PC Gamepass remains the best deal, even if it got a price increase, for 12$ you get GP and EA Play, i guess it’s still on growth mode and sooner than later it’ll get exclusive price increases without affecting the console tiers.
Xbox really hates its console userbase lol
Yeah, these changes suck and pretty much driving away console users. It is what it is, but I don’t understand all of these changes. PC gamepass seems like a solid deal
I already have Ultimate and play on both PC and console. A price increase is not something I’m thrilled about but I’m not upset about it either, it’s just the way of the world. Prices for stuff go up over time.
So reading more on it and currently console game pass users will retain all of the current perks. But all future users will not get day one anymore, I do wonder if that includes day one 3rd party games or just first party?
I can definitely people not consider Xbox at all with the change for new console users. Specifically because ultimate could be too expensive and console won’t give you first party games day one, core is just for people that want to play online and it could literally go away if Microsoft makes Xbox live not be a requirement for online play on non F2P games.
Do we know how many of them are using the gold trick ? I think that’s the tricky part to gauge because I feel that number will decline once the trick is blocked
So it looks like 23 cad is about 16.87 usd. Are they just trying to adjust to make it equivalent? The official price is 16.99 in the US even if you can get it for less
What other changes are people talking about?
With the information provided in the article this looks like an exchange rate adjustment to me. Have they said it’s going up everywhere? 1USD is currently $1.36 CAD. Which comes out to right around $23, right in line with the exchange rate.
Windows central has more details.
I think it’s going up to $19.99 in the US.
The tier below Ultimate no longer gets day one releases.
Seems like it you just want Xbox console Gamepass, now is the time to lock in.
I guess I assumed most people here were on Ultimate anyway…
increasing everywhere
Most people are just paying regularly and don’t know about that.
For new users, current users will keep day one.
