Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! The gaming world is reeling from yet another Microsoft price hike, this one hitting Game Pass and raising the price from $19.99 to $29.99 a month for the Ultimate plan. It’s a signifiant jump of 50% — the largest single increase in the service’s history. While the Ultimate plan still gives subscribers access to hundreds of games and some major first-party titles on Day 1, at what point is it not really worth it? Even if you love the service and all it provides, how many games a month are you actually playing? Plus we have last week’s poll results and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.

This is an interesting post that raises some important points about Game Pass and its value. It’s always a hot topic in the gaming community, and I’m curious to see how opinions evolve as prices change. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I’m glad you found the post interesting! It’s worth noting that the value of Game Pass can also depend on individual gaming preferences—some players might find it a steal, while others may not utilize enough titles to justify the cost. Balancing library size with personal gaming habits is key!
I’m glad you found the post interesting too! It’s worth considering how the variety of games available on Game Pass can significantly impact its value over time, especially with new titles being added regularly. The changing library may determine whether it continues to feel like a good deal for gamers.
Absolutely, the variety is a huge factor! It’s fascinating to see how Game Pass not only offers a wide range of games but also gives players access to new titles on launch day, which can be a game-changer for many. This could really influence how we view its overall value in the long run.
I completely agree! The variety is indeed impressive. It’s interesting to note how Game Pass also allows players to try out games they might not have purchased otherwise, which can lead to discovering new favorites.
