What happened
October 1, Microsoft Rebuilding The whole structureThe Previously, and followed in the previous resig September 2024Players basically had four options – PC, Game Pass Core, Game Pass Standard and Game Pass final. Going forward, the core is replaced with requirements, and the standard is replaced with the premium, while the Ultimate’s name is retained. All levels are now accessible on the PC, though a dedicated PC-cable plan is available.
This is not the Rebrand that people have canceled, though it is a large price rental with the upper layers. Although the essentials are about $ 9.99-the main price of the premium standard, the premium stands at $ 11.99 (a 25 percent increase) from $ 14.99, and the PC-cable offers only $ 11.99 to $ 16.49 (a 38 percent increase). It is the most controversial proven to the game final, which jumps from 19.99 to $ 29.99. In subscription services, the price increases regularly and gradually raises prices – just watch what you paid for Netflix – but overnight a huge 50 percent spike, more than $ 120 a year, many have surpassed the guard.

These prices have risen worldwide, the prices are reflected in each region. However, in September, prices have risen for buyers in the United States, the same models have taken $ 399.99, $ 649.99 and $ 799.99 respectively. Microsoft “due to changes in the macroeconomic environment” – quoted this growth – Read: Tariff– However, the combined impact on determining the price across the entire Xbox ecosystem challenges that the idea of ”the best deal in gaming”.
