Xbox Game Pass gets big price cut and loses a major perk

Following a leaked memo from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Microsoft is officially lowering the price of Game Pass, its signature subscription service. Starting today, the top-tier Game Pass Ultimate subscription costs $22.99, down from $29.99. The PC-specific version of Game Pass now costs $13.99, a few dollars less than its previous price tag of $16.49. The catch is what is included in these tiers and when.
