Microsoft recently announced that is increasing the subscription prices for all tiers of Game Pass, and that it is discontinuing the current base Xbox Game Pass console tier.
That is going to be replaced in the coming months with the new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier, which, crucially, will not include access to day one releases. The price increase in and of itself is perhaps not entirely surprising, even if it obviously stings.
With the removal of day one releases from all console Game Pass tiers except the costliest one - which will now cost $20 per month - Microsoft has once again fallen into what was an easily avoidable pit, and in the process muddied the messaging. What sort of damage will that do to Game Pass, if any?
