Game Pass Ultimate reaches $19.99/month, Game Pass for Console will be phased out
Xbox Game Pass changes: No longer the best deal in gaming? | Spot On
Microsoft has announced sweeping changes to the pricing and structure of its Game Pass subscription service. There are price increases across the board: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate goes up to $19.99/month, up $3. And the basic console tier will be phased out and replaced with a new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier that won't include initial releases like the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
The changes were reported by Windows Central and confirmed by Microsoft on an official Xbox support page.
Effective immediately, Xbox Game Pass for Console is no longer available to new subscribers. Members who already subscribe to Game Pass for Console and have automatic payment renewal enabled will be able to continue using it, including the access it offers to Day One games.
