It’s a win for Game Pass subscribers, who get a healthy price cut on the best (and most popular) tier, Ultimate. As Michael McWhertor points out, in a world where the price of absolutely everything is going up, a substantial cut like this feels like a gesture of goodwill as well as an admission that Microsoft’s sums weren’t working.

It’s great to see a price cut for Game Pass subscribers! This move shows Xbox’s commitment to providing value, especially with popular titles. It will be interesting to see how this impacts their future strategies.
