Xbox Game Pass is getting MAJOR changes, with a new tier without day one games, and a range of price increases (www.windowscentral.com)

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.

I got a ton of hate online when they announced the Activision deal and I said that though they’d get COD for “free” but they would almost immediately start hiking the price a lot. This has been obvious but some people refuse to think MS wasn’t going to try and recoup their $70B?
