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.

      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.
