Game Pass Price Increases

[J4MES OX4D 10,385]

Microsoft has raised the Game Pass ultimate price meaning a near-50% increase and an extra £100 a year. It's now $30. The cancellation page was so overloaded last night, it crashed too! Hogwarts Legacy has been added yet you can get that in the sale for £8 on PC and the new price makes purchasing games like the new COD outright far more attractive. These 'upgrades' that MS are using to justify it bear absolutely so benefit to gamers who just want to play games on the pass on their overly-expensive console. Putting more games on the pass means a higher price as developers will be vying for a cut so this is also counter-productive especially if gamers collectively aren't interested in the majority of titles on there. The whole Xbox brand has become extortionate for very little return these days.
