"Microsoft is raising the price of its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription again and rebranding some of its Xbox Game Pass plans. Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate will be priced at $29.99 per month instead of $19.99 - a 50 percent increase. Microsoft is attempting to justify the price hike with a variety of upgrades across all of its Xbox Game Pass tiers."
"Xbox Game Pass Core is being rebranded to Xbox Game Pass Essential, and the Standard plan is now Xbox Game Pass Premium. "What's new for everyone across all three Xbox Game Pass plans is bigger game libraries, including PC games across each of the plans," explains Dustin Blackwell, director of gaming and platform communications at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. "There is also unlimited cloud gaming, which is new to Essential and Premium subscribers.""
"Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is moving from $19.99 a month to $29.99 a month, which is a surprising $10 increase. While Microsoft increased the price of Game Pass Ultimate last year without improving the subscription, it's adding a bunch of improvements this time around. "[Game Pass Ultimate] will now include access to more than 400 titles globally, this includes the majority of our partners who want to continue to bring their future games to Xbox Game Pass," Blackwell explains."
Microsoft raised Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $19.99 to $29.99 per month and renamed some subscription tiers. Core becomes Xbox Game Pass Essential and Standard becomes Xbox Game Pass Premium. All tiers gain larger game libraries and PC game availability. Essential and Premium now include unlimited cloud gaming. Game Pass Ultimate will include access to more than 400 titles globally and is adding 45 games immediately, including Hogwarts Legacy and several Ubisoft titles. The service will offer more than 75 day-one releases per year, a 50 percent increase over the previous year, and adds Ubisoft Plus Classics to Ultimate.
