Xbox Game Pass gets price cut but won't include new 'Call of Duty' games
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- Microsoft has reduced the monthly price of its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $29.99 to $22.99 and PC Game Pass from $16.49 to $13.99, aiming to attract more subscribers.
- The company announced that new "Call of Duty" titles will no longer be available on Game Pass at launch but will be added about a year after release, reversing an earlier strategy made after acquiring Activision Blizzard.
- This strategic shift comes under new Xbox gaming chief Asha Sharma, following leadership changes and challenges like declining console sales and competition from Sony and Nintendo.
- Sharma acknowledged that Game Pass had become too expensive for many players, prompting the price cuts and changes to content availability as part of a broader effort to revitalize the Xbox brand.
