The price of Game Pass is still four months for the price of one full priced new release game, like it was before. But now new games cost $70 instead of $60.

I think once my current gamepass offer is up in a year and a half I'll be using the service similar to blockbuster. Only grabbing a month when there's a couple things I'm interested in trying.
So essentially it's a 100% price increase.
I've avoided the game pass, even though it's only a dollar a month. I knew it was just an enticement to get their world garden to be great and then they would turn into Microsoft and be sucky.
I'd rather stay with steam who's never treated me poorly.

I swapped from Xbox series x to ps5 recently and selling my x.
The fact I couldn't use my Xbox in Windows (I get a black screen and lots of people having that issue), and there was nobody seemingly to talk to about it, I decided to just dump it
