Microsoft revamps Xbox Game Pass plans and hikes Ultimate to $29.99 a month, Ultimate gets Ubisoft+ Classics and more

please clap jeb bush GIF
UBi makes some very good and entertaining games.... The dislike some have for them doesn't change that.🤷
 
LMAO time to cancel my pc game pass i aint gonna pay 30 for this. They will lose a lot of pc subs. When its going live? I wanted to play ninja gaiden and outer worlds 2, but if they want to charge 30 this month im out

The fuck you subbed to pc gamepass you jackass? 🤣🤣

Srsly tho. 1 dollar sub sure anything more gtfo here
 
PC gamers breathing a sigh of relief because the PC Game Pass only (lol) went up ~40% should keep in mind that Microsoft made a conscientious effort to not put that plan in their chart and keep it hidden. The exact same way they did with Console Game Pass just before they sunset it and told console players they'd have to choose between Standard or Ultimate.

The writing is on the wall for PC Game Pass, same as it was for Console Game Pass. Eventually you'll be forced into Ultimate for Day Ones, just like console. They're just slowly boiling the old frog.
 
They are in for a fight. I hope they're ready. PC gaming culture is completely different as there are no walled gardens allowing them to bully the customer. Most of us just wait for sales or use keysites for new games. Why would we need to rent.

Piracy is the final boss for anyone looking to sell software on PC, which is why they are constantly pushing for new ways to lock windows down.

Yes

In the other thread it was reported as a sure thing for 2026
 
So they're doing this on purpose, right?

They don't want Xbox no more and are trying to drive it into the ground, so someone can afford to buy off the Xbox branch
 
I know doom
And gloom but considering all your getting it's still a good deal. Fortnite crew alone is 12 bucks a month. Again comes down to what you want out of it. Should be a tier that's just a middle ground
 
Easy decision to switch from ultimate to essential.

I'll actually be spending a lot less on gamepass.

Congrats Microsoft, you played yourself.

I'm most annoyed that they limited the amount of store rewards you can earn.

I feel like we'll see another revamp in a few months. $29.99 just doesn't make sense to me. But rope will join it for one month to avoid buying a game then jump straight back to essential once they beat it. If it's a game they want to play long term, they'll just buy it and avoid the sub.
 

Either way, I don't install Denuvo games on my machines.
Do they have new games though? Like wheres Mafia or BL4 or even something like Stellar blade? I checked the reddits and it seems like the issue remains. People asking for Stellar blade are saying the same thing that it has Denuvo so don't expect it.

One guy did mention there is another way but it's a hassle and you still have to wait a month but he didn't expand on what he was doing and I didn't want to click the link he shared.

Not too sure, I don't pirate personally. But I would buy a game with it, if I could easily remove said trojans.
 
Gamepass used to be a great deal because of the Day1 releases. But at 30 bucks a month, it has reached a point where I'd rather just buy my games.
I was already there at the previous Ultimate standard price.

I'm still leeching on a prepaid $5/month subscription. Was going back and forth how to do once it ends. Plan B was using PC Gamepass, I don't play on console anyway, but from what I can tell that's gone now, if you want day 1 games it'll be $30/month. And this is in the US, I don't want to know what it'll be in my country…

Sigh

OK I'm out, that's pure insanity. They rise the price of their hardware, ok because they don't give a fuck about hardware. But rising the prices of a sub services THAT IS NOT POPULAR AT ALL/THAT IS BOMBING, by 50%... They are out of their minds and understand nothing of the industry.

The proof that they understand nothing is : LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING SLIDES to promote that, it is absolutly not understandable for a casual/not hardcore gamer, and even for and hardcore gamer this is a mess.

360 (ahah) dollars a year ? I'd better use that money to buy games that I'll actually OWN and who have time to play/complete 10% of "400 GAMEZZZ" per year ?

I think that this time they're done, they'll soon just become a publisher, maybe the biggest one but consoles/services will be over for them.
 
This is going to save me some money. I will sub for one month only if there is a game I like. Also not a chance in hell I buy a handheld, though I was considering it.

I would be pretty pissed if I preordered one and then they pull this bait and switch bullshit.
 
LOL.

$360 per year versus $160 per year for PS Plus Premium. Why? Because Sony and its partners use it almost entirely as a back catalog service. They make tons of money otherwise on selling games.

Gamepass cannot be sustained at these prices while they're doing day-and-date releases.

I'm probably going to drop down to essential until there's a day one game I'm interested in. Change the tier on a month to month basis.

$30USD (don't even wanna know how much that is CAD) is ridiculous. I don't play Fornite or Ubisoft games... the fact that these aren't just add ons that people can opt into is dumb as fuck.
 
*Ugly lights come on and "closing time" starts playing* Party is so over folks.

I'll die on the hill that the series X is a great console, but i've been in & out on gamepass for a good while, now i'm fully out. Although I guess I need to keep the base one to play online so MS still gets to market me as a "subscriber", the losers. Fuck off Phil and Sarah.
