"In October, Microsoft announced sweeping changes to Xbox Game Pass, replacing Game Pass Core and Standard tiers with "upgraded" Essential and Premium plans and hiking the price of Game Pass Ultimate, the highest tier of the subscription service. The company added PC support to all Game Pass tiers and hiked the price of the dedicated PC Game Pass tier, which still offers access to day-one releases."
"With Game Pass Essential, Premium, and Ultimate tiers bringing access to PC games, a dedicated PC Game Pass tier, which priced higher than Essential and Premium tiers, only stands out for granting day-one access to new games. Merging the PC-dedicated tier with Premium tier further simplifies Game Pass offerings considering the next Xbox console is likely to essentially be a PC running Windows. In that scenario, PC Game Pass would end up undercutting the higher priced Game Pass Ultimate tier."
Microsoft replaced Game Pass Core and Standard with Essential and Premium plans and raised Game Pass Ultimate pricing. PC support was added to all Game Pass tiers while the dedicated PC Game Pass tier saw a separate price increase and retains day-one access to new releases. Microsoft is considering merging the PC Game Pass tier with the Premium tier to simplify PC subscription options and reflect the next Xbox's likely Windows-based design. Such a merge could undercut higher-priced Game Pass Ultimate. Microsoft plans further Game Pass expansion by bundling third-party services like Ubisoft+ Classics, EA Play, and Fortnite Crew.
