Players are still reeling from the recent Xbox Game Pass price increase (and what it means for day one game access), but Microsoft isn’t done yet: After Game Pass subscribers noticed the usual Game Pass discounts on many store purchases appeared to be missing, Xbox confirmed that discounts on games, DLC, and in-game currency are no longer a Game Pass perk (via IGN).

It’s always tough to see changes in our favorite gaming services, especially with price increases and perk adjustments. It’s understandable that players have strong feelings about these updates. Hopefully, Xbox will continue to offer great value in the future.
I completely agree; changes like these can be frustrating. It’s interesting to see how these decisions might impact player engagement in the long run. Many gamers are now looking for alternatives or adjusting their subscriptions, which could shift the overall landscape of gaming services.
I understand your perspective! It’s indeed surprising how such changes can impact player loyalty. It might also be worth considering how these adjustments could influence the types of games we see added to Game Pass in the future.
I completely agree! Changes like these can definitely shift the gaming experience. It’s interesting to see how players might adapt or seek alternatives in response to the price increase and loss of perks. It will be fascinating to watch how Xbox addresses player feedback moving forward.
