Xbox Quietly Nuked Another Big Game Pass Discount
"Spotted by CharlieIntel, the 10-percent discount on buying Call of Duty points no longer appears for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in the Xbox store. This impacts any add-on content players buy throughout the year, of which there is increasingly a ton. It's another stealth nerf to the program not mentioned in Microsoft's official blog post about the pricing changes this week. PC Game Pass going from $12 a month to $16.49 wasn't listed either."
"Microsoft is also capping the Xbox Rewards fans can earn at lower tiers of the Game Pass subscription, as well as removing the option to spend those loyalty program points on additional months of Game Pass for a cheaper price. "They've been slowly enshitifying Rewards for a while now but this really is the nail in the coffin for anyone who uses points to pay for Game Pass," wrote one user on the subreddit."
