"Oh no," dozens shout.
Microsoft has today announced a price reduction for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, though the services will not feature Call of Duty day one releases as a trade off.
Here in Australia, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will drop from $35.95 AUD to $25.95 AUD per month, while PC Game Pass drops from $19.45 AUD to $16.95 AUD per month. In the USA, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will drop from $29.99 USD to $22.99 USD per month, while PC Game Pass drops from $16.49 USD to $13.99 USD per month. Other prices “vary by region”.
Microsoft added that while existing Call of Duty titles will remain inside the subscription services, new releases won’t be added until “about a year” after their launches.
“Beginning this year, future Call of Duty titles won’t join Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass at launch,” Microsoft said in a statement. “New Call of Duty games will be added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass during the following holiday season (about a year later), while existing Call of Duty titles already in the library will continue to be available.”
No changes were made to Xbox Game Pass Essential or Xbox Game Pass Premium tiers. You can take a look at what’s being added and removed from all tiers in April here, and in May here.
