đŸ“ē Xbox Game Pass Price Increase

Xbox Game Pass is undergoing major changes with a price increase and a new tier without day-one games. Microsoft has announced that the price of Xbox Game Pass will be increasing across all tiers. In addition to this price hike, a new standard tier will be introduced, which will not include day-one releases. This change aims to push users towards the Ultimate Edition, which includes PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass, Cloud streaming, and day-one releases.


This decision has sparked discussions among gamers about the value of Xbox Game Pass and its offerings. The Ultimate Edition, while more expensive, provides a comprehensive gaming experience with access to a vast library of games and new releases. For those who primarily play on one platform or don't prioritize day-one access, the new standard tier might be a more cost-effective option. Learn more about these changes from Windows Central's article.


The introduction of these changes also raises questions about the availability of major titles, such as Call of Duty Black Ops 6, on Xbox Game Pass. With the increasing costs, gamers are weighing their options and considering how best to access their favorite games. For those who are passionate about the Call of Duty series, the gameplay reveal trailer offers a glimpse of what to expect from Black Ops 6.
