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.

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.
