Not gonna happen as the gamepass style services are extremely expensive. Nintendo switch online is cheap but that is only because the games on the service are extremely old stuff made back in the 1990s and the online functionality is a lot worse.

Im not a fan of the idea of everything being a subscription. For that much money you can buy a bunch of games on sale/used. If you need to buy xbox gamepass core for multiplayer. Then play all the games on core that you want and then dont buy other games until you dont have need it.

I am NOT a fan of the price increases at all. However, the BIG problem with the recent announcement of Game Pass changes and price increases is they nerfed Game Pass for Console, and only giving Day One Releases + Cloud Gaming to console users with Game Pass Ultimate. This is BS. Game Pass Standard SHOULD include Day One releases. I have always seen Ultimate as the COMBINATION of the best of both console and PC. I would prefer to see: - Game Pass Core = Xbox Network + Back Catalogue + Deals @ $9.99 per month (or $69.99 Annually) - Game Pass Standard = Xbox Network + Back Catalogue + Day One Releases + Deals @ $14.99 per month - Game Pass PC = PC Back Catalogue + Day One PC Releases + Deals + EA Play @ $11.99 per month - Game Pass Ultimate = Combination of Game Pass Standard & Game Pass PC + Cloud Gaming + Perks @ $19.99 per month Only Ultimate would include Cloud gaming natively. I would then create Xbox Cloud Gaming as a separate item that could be added to either Core, Standard, or PC for $1.99 extra per month. Bottom line: There needs to be a Tier for console that includes Day One Releases without having to go to Ultimate (where console gamers are paying for PC access and Cloud gaming they may not want or ever use). And YES! Online access should be FREE on consoles!

For $3 more i get to play jedi survivor diablo etc $70 games that id have to buy to play its still worth it

Store sales being locked behind Gamepass subscription is just sad. Next gen ill be switching over to PS6 and obviously continue on pc/Steam.

I wish when you talked about this subscription you didn't just focus on the Chislet POV. In my opinion there are three parties to the subscription: 1) customers, 2) studios and 3) Microsoft. I think there's probably some negatives on the economics for companies...it creates a safety net but I wonder if it also reduces the heights of some companies' revenue

What I like about game pass is they sometimes shadow drop games with big names. Games on my wishlist like RE3, Dead Island 2, Callisto protocol and now Mafia DE I can just install & play.

The tiers aren’t that confusing. The naming convention is easier to follow than PS Plus where the games included in Premium rather than Extra really don’t seem to have any rhyme or reason to them. With Game Pass Standard all you need to know is you’ll have to wait a set amount of time for new games.

Price hikes always leave a bad taste in fans, but stopping things like stacking subscriptions can anger us more to the point of cancelling altogether.

The phrase "CoD Tax" has been coined for the Game Pass price increases, but a price increase was inevitable, regardless, of Xbox acquiring Activision/CoD, or not. However, Xbox is gambling on the appeal a "cheaper" GP subscription will entice casual CoD players more than the PlayStation $70+ price tag. What they fail to realize is the majority of CoD players are on PS, already. So, if a PS player wanted to get a "cheaper" deal, they still have to fork out $300-$500 (Series S, or X) for a new console + Game Pass Ultimate that includes online. Nobody is talking about these "hidden" fees... Especially, not Xbox. Also, let's say, a CoD player decides to play BO6 on GP, console or PC. They'll quickly realize to maintain access to the game, they'll have to keep paying a monthly GP subscription that eventually adds up to far more than a one time $70 purchase where they own the game outright. So, it's not as easy a sell as Xbox is hoping, but we'll see this Fall, if the CoD-Game Pass gamble pays off, and if it raises GP subscription numbers on the back of these price increases, or not.

@absurdlynerd9904

Ай бұрын

The majority of CoD players are on PC. Xbox knows this won’t flip PS players to Xbox for the most part but it could convert a lot of PC CoD players to Game Pass subscribers and then they’ll stay for their other first party games because “well it’s only $20”.

Dude the Game pass deal includes enough games 1st and 3rd party to merit the price. Streaming capability plus PC or Console access make it a complex product for sure. However the value is understated by all sides. We're talking a debut pricing that was competitive with single game services such as WoW yall clowning to dispute the offering. It'd take substantially less titles and more cost to get chapped over the new business model that has been ubiquitous and embraced by devs and gamers alike. Not the old-school disc and download days players like myself get nostalgic over; when games were complete and accessible... Offline no less. take heart and play more fun titles than ever.

If AAA game = $70 & GP Ultimate = $20/month then 1 year of GP Ultimate = $240 which is more than the cost of 3 games/year. I don't buy three AAA games per year, so I certainly wouldn't subscribe to a catalog worth 3 AAA games/year if I don't own the games at the end.

Just the top of my head for this year: Senua 2, OctoPath 2, Chained Echoes, Second replay of Persona 3 Reload, Jedi Survivor. Still the best deal in gaming to me.

Course it is. Still getting thousands £/$ worth of games.

I don’t understand why almost nobody is talking about the inevitable ad supported Game Pass.

It was briefly mentioned in this but feel like Microsoft's own production problems kneecapped the original Game Pass pitch from the beginning. The whole "Get Game Pass to play Xbox Studios games Day 1" was the pitch and initially the annual price of Game Pass was approximately the cost of buying two full priced games a year. So the math was if you were going to play two new Xbox Studios games that year then everything else was a bonus. But they've barely managed to get out two full priced games a year. Most years it's just been Obsidian (their true workhorse) filling in the gaps. So Game Pass has always been more about the games they've signed from other publishers. And as the costs have gone up it's less and less worth it to get Game Pass to play their games. But even with these price increases it's currently still a pretty good deal if your playing a lot of the $30 / $40 games available Day One on the service. Since I find there is at least two of those a month I'll check out. I was just reading through their official announcement page and it doesn't really seem like they've clarified what "Day One" games won't be on the standard tier. Obviously their own Day One games, this seems mostly to be a way for them to not include Black Ops 6 Day One but does it included the smaller technically Day One games they've signed from various indies? Like Flock came out today and unlike their own catalog those games are usually only signed for about a year so if their going to delay putting all Day One games on the Standard tier when it does come to that tier will it be available for less than a year? It just feels like their are a lot of logistical questions that we probably won't really know the answer to until the end of next year. Thankfully I got a crazy deal on GPU just before the last tier change so I'm good till 2026 and I can let these changes play out before I decide if I want to resubscribe but I feel like if your paying month-to-month right now you really should be only subbed if the games your playing that month cost more to buy than your sub.

The prices of everything eventually go up. Why is this crazy? It's a business, not charity.

Exactly sony raised theirs by 35% last year!

over 90% of GP users are already on Ultimate. Does $3 a month tip the scales if you're the type of customer interested in GPU? If you play anything mp that isn't f2p you need to then spend at least $75 a year on Core for mp access. Is it worth doing that and buying games that are on GP outright for most? The $240 a year ignores the value that is in the service if you're a customer interested in the 40+ day one titles and 500+ vault titles in the service. Do you want to use cloud? Do you play non-f2p mp games? The tiers were made less confusing, it's a straight upgrade path now, too. - Core gets you MP, deals, small vault - Standard gets you mp, deals, large vault - Ultimate gets you mp, deals, biggest vault, day one, PC, cloud, GPU perks, and ea play - PC gets you PC vault (over 500 now), day one games, and ea play for PC If you were on game pass console (very few were) you can keep it at the same price as before for as long as you keep it active. Nothing about this is "confusing" when it's your job to properly understand it.

These two are always so joyless in their videos. You're talking about video games for chrissakes, cheer up!

I mainly play Fallout 76.Luckily I get my ultimate through my son's account and he won't bat an eye about an extra $3 because it IS worth it when you see the price of new games these days! For me I'm just trying to keep up my Fallout First subscription, Sadly, Fallout 76 is pretty much unplayable without it! 😓

If you offer more content, you can’t ask for more money?

It was expected. It’s not THAT complicated. Especially as the PC tier is irrelevant to console users. Three tiers. Basic: Play on line. Standard: some stuff. Everything: Everything

Goodbye Game pass. It was fun but now it's too expensive. I don't need another £15 subscription in my life when food and energy is getting more expensive. Also, it will keep going up annually, so nah.

Please teach me how to get 13 months that’s gone you buy a Xbox live gold that’s $60 then pay for a 1 month ultimate game pass you get 13 months that deal is gone Microsoft now takes months away from you once you upgrade to ultimate you get 7 months instead of 13 months this has been happening since they changed it to core nobody is complaining

I cancelled a few months back and thanks to gamepass making sure i own nothing my xbox sits forgotten about and unused. This essentially just ensures im done with microsoft.

I prefer to own my games and movies. Too many subs these days. Too many things come and go. And what about dlc?

Ahh yes GameSpot talks about Game Pass again, I wonder how they'll misinform their audience this time

Whatever you say. The fan still think it is the best

When you guys are slow folks finally going to catch on. MS is nefarious when it comes to the gaming industry. They have no respect for gaming culture whatsoever. Abandon them, like they abandon every single promise they make.

As a potential Xbox/Gamepass customer the price increase doesn’t make a difference to my sense of value I’d get buying in to the system. Price increases always happen and the value still looks really good if you’ve got the time for the games. Also as a potential customer, I already have a backlog of critically acclaimed games for other systems to play that I’ve bought cheaply on sale because I’m sure I’d like them and are now gathering dust. Obviously I should just play those. I reckon if I had already bought into Xbox Series I’d stick with Gamepass just fine and be content with it. There’s just no pull towards Xbox for me this generation however. I’m actually still happily gaming on PS4 and Switch. PS5 appeals more than Xbox but if I were to buy any remotely new hardware it’d be a Steam Deck. Maybe Gamepass could get me there?

All the current MS strategy is telling me is that Phil flat out lied to Series S/X owners. They are not the priority. On the contrary, they are treated as second class citizens. I think I've seen like 5 Series S/X ads in real life. Marketing for their console is already next to non-existent in the UK, and they are thinking of cutting it back even more? They put 1st party games on PS5 and make PC Gamepass objectively better than Core and Standard. Almost as if they actively wanted potential new consumers to play anywhere other than Series consoles. I'm sorry, but I'm done. I'm not throwing my Series X away or canceling what's left of my legacy Gamepass subscription, but this was the last Xbox console for me.

It's worth 20. I got to spend 850 for just a Big Mac

It's really not that complicated. I dont understand why it's hard to recommend when there is no other competitor really doing anything comparable. Basically, if you play more than 2 full priced games a year on the subscription, you're getting your moneys worth.

I renewed then the very next day they announced 20 a month. I canceled and got my money back. If I really want to play bo6 I will just wait a month until Black Friday.

I'm on Ultimate and it's about what 20$/month now, an increase of a cup of coffee? and you got to play ton of games on XBox and PC, how is this not still a good deal? You guys are ridiculous, lot of KZreadr just talk about this kind of things, cause they got nothing else to talk about.

Because they are not talking about you. They are discussing the big picture what it means the future etc Did you watch the video?

Bit of a simple way to look at it. Sure I can go buy 24 x $10 games on steam. Is that a better deal? Two games a month, I own them forever and not locked into a subscription. For you maybe Gamepass is good value but doesn’t mean that for everyone.

You used to be able to get access to day one games for $10 a month just like a year ago? It’s doubled to get that access.

@@RETR0_P0CKETit’s been $17 for over a year. It was $15 for multiple years before that. I could be wrong but don’t remember it ever being cheaper than $15 and if it was it was many years ago.

it is if you share it with 2 people lol.

As a non cod player I have no interest in continuing as a gp ultimate subscriber. I can live without day one releases

I don't personally care about cloud or PC and day one releases as long as they come on later date to standard BUT EA games is also not on the GP standard make it useless.

I don't know. Why don't you all just answer the question and spoil it for us like the rest of your content.

Well, this is what it will mean for me. I will be forced to pay $100 a month just to play Call of Duty multiplayer online. Does that sound like a good deal?

It's not bad but it's not amazing anymore

“Probably”

I mean to get black ops free and play 5 other games I play free that basically pay for the yr and to try other free games

The library is much less than steam and I hate fomo. So it isn't for me, even before this update.

Tamoor nails it when saying it feels more like Microsoft now than Xbox. Also worrying how many of the Summer Games Fest exclusives were at the presentation way before the Series X release. Where's Everwild now!?

Why these 2 Dolts are speaking on Xbox is beyond me 😂

Phil Spencer is completely incompetent and he's always been. Out of touch with anything in his department, shutting down Arkane and Tango, killing XBOX'S Flagship franchises like Halo and Gears of War with DEI hiring. He needs to go the damage has already been done.

Microsoft have lost the plot.

Nah, it was obivous gamepass was unsustainable, devs hated it and it was burning money, the price will go up thurther. Anyone with a brain knew this was gonna happen.

yeah but nar its still the best deal in gaming

People should just shop around for games they actually want. You will usually only play one or two games at a time and most games that land on gamepass go through multiple sales before they hit gamepass. It was the reason I cancelled my gamepass.

I know this isn't new but I just want to say I love this format of you guys just chatting about the news 😊 stay awesome Gamespot

The most unacceptable thing is introducing the Game pass standard tier without day one games that would cost the same as legacy Game Pass for Console with day one games. Either there should be a price difference or legacy tier should be converted to standard once the stacked up subscription is exhausted. Same price, but no day one games to new subscribers could not be justified at all.

Sounds similar to Ubisoft. You pay the cheaper price for the "classics" & the higher price for newer games. Still an OK deal if you want to play a new single player game & beat it in a month. To be fair, I don't think Microsoft really care about selling you an Xbox anymore. If you get the tier with cloud gaming, you can play on your smart TV.
