@Wario64: Xbox Live Gold will apparently transition to Xbox Game Pass Core on Sept 1st
-includes online multiplayer and various benefits -same price as XBLG -Existing XBLG subscribers will convert to Core -includes 25 Game Pass titles -GWG offers will end
So they finally did it? Last time they wanted to increase the Xbox live price, people went crazy. Now they rename it and throw some games you might never play and raise the price to 10€.
That’s a lot. Imagine how gamepass will look like in ~5years if it becomes really big. Sold my Series X some weeks ago since I was never using it. I was almost exclusively playing on my PC.
The price of Game Pass Core is the same as the current price of Xbox Live Gold. This is basically a rebranding exercise (and the long-expected culling of Games With Gold).
