This shouldn't come as a surprise. MS has been offering game pass at a good value for a while now to entice users and grow their platform. Now it's time to start squeezing value. Standard enshitification cycle stuff here, and a good reason not to play their game.
I mean, if you play games often but not a day 1 person, it's still a good value at $19.99.
I'm an old dude with managing a family and had fame pass casually while having maybe 1-2 hours a week to paly games. It never bothered me for what I was paying for to casually play a ton of good games. Buuuut with the raise in price I'm just going to cancel.
Same situation, I packed up my Xbox because we're looking to move. Cancelled Game Pass Ultimate sub for now, but maybe I don't end up resubscribing.
