It’s a technique that companies are using in this new subscription economy that we live in and it involves something as old as getting used to a service and, when they already believe that you have hooked After all, the problems start with new formats, models and prices. And as luck would have it, it always happens that what we had before the earthquake ends up costing more once everything has calmed down. How will this happen with Xbox Game Pass.
That was so cool Microsoft there was only one modality whose price depended only on the number of formats we wanted to include, that is, Xbox
Xbox Game Pass Now Has Many Nuances
The first thing to say is that Xbox Game Pass It will now be divided into an additional category that will be between the two extremes. If at the lowest end of the price we have the Xbox Game Pass Core and at the highest end Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, now, magically, we have something that Microsoft were called as Xbox Game Pass Standard which is nothing more than the cheapest and shortest alternative to the usual service.
With that Xbox Game Pass Standard we will have the same access to everything that those who pay for it can get Ultimate with one difference, that is that the famous news of the first day will not be available and will probably take a long time to arrive. In this way, if you opt for the intermediate mode, you will find yourself without being able to play for free (well, you understand us) with the new Call of Duty Black Ops 6
In any case, for the moment, no changes are applied and you will not have to choose what to do because this Xbox Game Pass Standard It is not active and will arrive “in the coming months”. Of course, what you will notice very soon is the price increase that awaits us.
Xbox Game Pass is now more expensive
All we’ve told you so far are the plans for the coming weeks, but what already applies is the increase, which will only affect you if you are a new user of the service. If you already have an active subscription, you won’t know anything until the end of the period for which you paid. But when that time comes… you won’t find it funny.
And the new prices are like this, note:
- Xbox Game Pass Heart goes from 59.99 dollars per year to 69.99.
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate goes from 14.99 dollars per month to 17.99.
- Xbox Game Pass Standard (when released) will cost 14.99 dollars per month.
So now you know: if you want to keep up to date from day one, it will only be possible to have it with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. For everything else (catalog of nearly 500 games and online games) Xbox Game Pass Standard.
