There revamping again with huge price increase.
Personally the addition of Fortnite Crew is useless nor am I arsed for Ubisoft games mostly.
I don’t see this as enough to justify cost increase.
Was always coming I felt but considering all this generation seems to be is “games cost allot pay is more” and manufacturers pleading poverty increases consol prices it’s just greedy imo
Can I still just pay a £50 a year fee or something for online gaming and buy my own game once every 5 years? Absolutely no way I'd spend more than £10 a month on gamepass. I will just play something else or buy second hand games again.

this was always going to happen, get everyone on it at a low price and get the userbase then once you have that ramp up.
expect it will be closer to £50 in the next 5 years

I'd half started doing that. A mate was selling his Series X, so I grabbed that and sold my Series S on. Then bought used copies of the couple of games I do play most on a physical disc.

Ouch, thats a big increase. Pretty glad me and the wife both stocked up for 2 years or whatever it is earlier in the year using the conversion trick
MS trying to kill off Xbox brand asap. Console sales so low most shops don't even sell them anymore, hardware price Increases, game pass price Increases and most games going multiplat. Probably worth getting out of Xbox to one of the alternatives at this point.

Hmm £23 a month huh. Mines up for renewal in Dec so thats a tough call. Hopefully some Core deals will still be an option then.
Im far to casual a player fot these prices so GPU was great for me. Now I might do the math on a half decent PC machine and jsut pay for games.

cdkeys have increased there 3 month price from £31 to £36, still a "bargain" vs the new price. I expect them to adjust there prices again very soon. Maybe stock up if you indeed to stay as an ultimate member
Also MS have already adjusted the conversion rates accordingly

Mine was due to expire 3rd october and I needed it to lapse to renew using a 12 month core conversion, I got totally shafted today haha. Anyone who recently stocked up on ultimate via "cheap" 12 month core codes did very well for themselves vs the new pricing/conversion

It’ll happen to all subs eventually, especially given the high base cost of games now. I suspect I’ll just go back to buying what I want to play.
Saw this coming almost 2 years ago when Phil Spencer started with his mixed messaging on Xbox's future. I have absolutely zero regrets selling my Series X. I do feel sorry though for the Xbox fans who have been there since the beginning and have a large library of Xbox / 360 games. Hard to give up something you're heavily invested in ( from a financial and sentimental perspective ). To everyone else, get out while you can and pick a platform with a future.

Seriously ? That's going to kill a lot of ongoing subs then.
Made that choice last year and have been buying all the games I want to play on Steam ( and the Playstation storefront for 1st party Sony titles / JRPGs ). Let's face it, most of us probably have a good idea what games we'll enjoy ... with some discipline and being prepared to wait 6 months or so for sales etc it works out cheaper for most than paying for a full year's subscription service.
