Do you think the new Xbox Game Pass pricing is worth it?
Game Pass Price Jumps 50% as Microsoft Revamps Xbox Subscriptions
Microsoft has raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $19.99 to $29.99 per month, a 50% increase that’s part of a broader rebranding of its subscription model. The new tiers—Premium, Essentials, and Ultimate—aim to simplify access while offering expanded features, including enhanced cloud gaming, 1440p streaming, and over 75 day-one game releases annually. However, fans are mixed on the changes: Microsoft Rewards no longer allows direct Game Pass redemptions, and some games will leave the service soon. While 2025 marks the largest-ever investment year for Game Pass, users are left debating whether the service still offers good value at a much steeper cost.
