"After Microsoft decided to jack up the price of its Xbox Game Pass subscriptions to up to $30 a month, it has another unwelcome surprise for members. In a statement provided to multiple outlets like Insider Gaming, a spokesperson for Microsoft confirmed it has removed the discounts for DLC that come with a Game Pass subscription, replacing them by offering points for its Rewards program."
"While initial reports discovered the change with the Call of Duty franchise, the Microsoft statement later clarified that this major shift isn't "specific to any one game and reflects all games and DLC purchases." To replace the discount, Ultimate subscribers will get 10 percent of their purchase back in Rewards points, while Premium members get five percent, when buying qualifying games from the Game Pass library."
Microsoft removed the DLC discounts previously available to Game Pass subscribers and will instead grant Rewards points on qualifying purchases. Ultimate subscribers receive 10 percent back in Rewards points and Premium members receive five percent back when buying qualifying games from the Game Pass library. The change applies to all games and DLC purchases rather than to any single franchise. Microsoft recently increased Game Pass prices by up to $10 and added 45 games, raising monthly costs to as much as $30. Subscribers lose the immediate 10 percent discount and can only recover prior rates using prepaid codes.
