They increased ultimate price too
From the markers of Xbox, Xbox One and Xbox Series, get the best deal of gaming with GamePass Core, GamePass Console, GamePass PC and GamePass Ultimate!
The enshittification of Xbox live has begun, as we all predicted it would when gamepass became a thing.
Enshittification of Xbox Live was day one of launch, dude. Online used to be free, nobody charged for it until Xbox did.
As long as they don’t change my $60/yr price point, I’m ok with it. I never really played too many of the games with gold games anyway.
Lmao, I’m sure I won’t have to wait long either. Subscriptions tend to climb unfortunately. I used to pay $10/mo for netflix, what’re we at now? Like 16-18?
Personally I’m fine with this. It would be nice to get a refresh more often than “2 to 3 times a year” though…
So…Gold once gave us 2 Xbox One and 1 360 game a month to keep for as long as we had Gold, regardless if they were in the “library” or not.
In the last 12 months, the service has “evolved” to just a tiny part of the Game Pass library and pretty much nothing else.
Glad I’ve got a PS5 instead of a Series X because this “service” has completely died.
This is why I’m not happy with the Activision aquisition. It’d be one thing if Microsoft had become a pioneer of QOL improvements for the consumer. But they’re not making any improvements. They’re regressing. At least Sony still feels like they’re trying to evolve into a better corporation. Their shift to Stars was mostly an upgrade. Microsoft continues to be anti-consumer at every chance they get.
