Honestly though, I still think it’s 100% worth it. Gamepass I mean. I recently switched from console and got my first gaming PC. I literally leave it hooked up in my living room and play with a controller anyways.

Gamepass is a god send especially since I don’t have much time to play. I can at least try out a bunch of games and if I get bored I’m not out $60+.

I was thinking of adding a series x to my collection but I can’t handle these price increases for a current system that has been out for a few years.

This is where PS+ will be in 5 years…

• Introduce PS+ as optional
• Require PS+ for online play
• Introduce digital only console
• Introduce PS+ tiers (with the middle tier being most appealing to the mainstream)
• Increase pricing, abandon physical games, full market control

The only thing that can stop this happening is either support of physical sales, or additional marketplaces for digital games

I am fully aware we are in the golden age of GamePass. It’s such a ridiculously good value right now it is almost inevitably going to go downhill eventually. I have ultimate and use it on Xbox, PC, and mobile a ton. It’s like the golden years of Netflix 10 years ago before everyone pulled their catalog and launched their own service. I know eventually it will be bad, but I’m enjoying it right now. And extra $2/month doesn’t bother me, but I know it isn’t the first increase we’ll see.

I probably get the most value out of gamepass compared to other streaming services we use.

They could at least expand gamepass friends and family along with the price hike though.
