"Microsoft has revealed a host of changes to Game Pass, the biggest of which is a major price hike of $10 for Ultimate subscribers. PC Game Pass is also being retired and rolled into the other tiers. Read on for a breakdown of all the changes, or check out the table at the bottom of this article. First up, there's been some name changes. Now we've got Xbox Game Pass Essential (formerly Core) and Xbox Game Pass Premium (formerly Standard)."
"PC Game Pass is being retired. Existing customers can keep the subscription going, but will face a price increase from $11.99 to $16.49. Pricing remains unchanged across the two lower tiers, but Ultimate subscribers are now going to have to pay $29.99 per month to get all of those day one Xbox "exclusives". That's a $10 increase over the previous price. Pricing outside of the US has not yet been confirmed."
"Xbox Game Pass Premium (($14.99, £10.99, €12.99/month) also now covers PC, console and cloud and promises 200+ games. Notably, Microsoft is promising that all Xbox-published games, like the upcoming Fable, will be available in this tier within one year of release. 50,000 worth of reward points will also be up for grabs. However, Call of Duty titles are excluded from that one-year promise."
Microsoft restructured Game Pass tiers and pricing. Xbox Game Pass Essential (formerly Core) costs $9.99/£6.99/€8.99 and now includes a 50+ game library across console, PC and cloud plus up to 25,000 Microsoft Reward points. Xbox Game Pass Premium (formerly Standard) costs $14.99/£10.99/€12.99, covers PC, console and cloud, and promises 200+ games with Xbox-published titles available within one year of release plus 50,000 reward points. PC Game Pass is being retired; existing PC subscribers can keep subscriptions but face a rise from $11.99 to $16.49. Ultimate remains named Ultimate but increases to $29.99 monthly, a $10 hike.
