Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Pass are getting a price hike, new Standard plan introduced

10 July 2024
The Xbox Game Pass Standard is replacing the "for Console" pass, which in turn is getting discontinued. 

Sort by:

Imagine buying a consoles or having a PC and constantly paying monthly fees to play some useless games 🤣 Instead of just buying used game for pennies or just turning your old console and playing for free games you bought many years ago, stupidly of people at its finest 😜

      Price increase not because of low growth, but because MS overpaid for ABK acquisition and MS AI escapade.
      It is costing them too much that they are now nickel and diming everything.
      This is on top of MS laying off people and closing down game studios.

But if the company starts to get RESTRICTED. Say that they will check all PS accounts if its registered on a registered country. Then it will surely be the end of the PS owners. No wonder Sony playstation has 118M registered users.

          PS5 is still sold everywhere.
          My country also dont have support.

            Playstation is a lot worst than Google Playstore, Apple Appstore, and Windows Store. First of all. When creating an account. If you're country is not in the list of supported countries. Then you're out of LUCK. My country is one of 121 countries that can't create a PSN account without getting BANNED.

              "we have so little growth on subscribers lets increase pricing"

              Lets see how this goes.

                I'm happy with steam deck and emulation thanks

                  Windows store is basically same like these.

                  There are very few games that are restricted on Playstation and wont be released on other platforms. Counter Strike is by Valve and is Steam specific. Basically Steam was made by Valve for Half Life and then they started to add other games on the platform or access to them. Also no point to say source behind counter strike as that is just a generation name for the game that is same from 1998 of it's beta releases. Only texture of the game have got some update but the basic is still same

                    Was there any good games at windows store? NO!

                    As a Windows user. The only games that I kept playing are the old games like Dota 2, Elden ring, and Counterstrike Source.

                        This is the biggest flaw about gaming console's
                        First buy expensive box and extra controller and then pay monthly to get to play games in multiplayer while buy the games also that are way more expensive then you get on PC

                        The console will cost more then to buy one good desktop computer for 10 years.
                        I built my desktop for 1000 euro 12-13 years ago and still can play all games in the market.

                        Now think of buying a console for 500 euro and pay like 120 euro per year for multiplayer.
                        For 10 years it be already 1200 euro so in total it be like 1700 euro that you could spend on desktop to have the best cpu and gpu in it so it can last you 15 years and time to time upgrade it like change GPU or add more ram.

                        Just like with console you need to buy new controllers cause these wont last long if you play a lot with them

                        I save up a load of money with desktop over a console

                        Something like 5 years old laptop can be bought for the money of a console and it be more powerful in everything over a console and you dont need to spend monthly fee to get to play games multiplayer

                        Like all shooter games make no sense to play single player so you play against computer that is full of cheats like aim bot and so on. Spot you faster then humanly possible and so on. While these get boring cause these have same patterns so you know where these bots are and what they do

                        Playstation have region blocks so i cant even make account for it in my country so it's even worse then xbox

                          Exclusives matter for me, so yeah, ps5 is better.

                            Thankfully I get mine elsewhere and it's much cheaper. A lot of my friends like to go to online key stores and just buy ultimate for the month. It's usually way cheaper and legal

                              Dont worry, knowing life and falling IQ of people that dont complain and buy everything without looking, they will soon add to it "paying for playing" where they will charge you everytime you start console/game so "you pay only when its matter, as its easier for, you, players"(or any other marketing trash reasoning they think about it)

                                Hell no, they still want us yo pay for multiplayer after we buy the console and the game.
