It sounds like Game Pass pricing will drop soon

    $30 a month. I stopped paying that. That’s like 4 games a year in subscription fees. I’d rather just buy 4 games. I don’t need endless games for that price.

      Are there even 4 90$ games worth purchasing in any given year?

      Most of my library is in the <30$ range

      I dumped it when it went from $5 to $10 a month for PC gamepass.

      $120 a year gets me A LOT of games on Steam sales.

      I know I’m not the target audience, but it was pretty nice playing tons of games for $5 a month.

      At $30 I don’t think I could even justify that. It’s absurd. Even as a one off to play everything I could…I’d rather use that $30 for literally anything else.

      Somehow it’s always AI. Just like it was blockchain before that. And “the cloud” before that.

    Keep in mind when she says that, that Microsoft is probably not looking to lower the price of GamePass, but to find other things to include in that price. I sincerely doubt they’re going to lower the price and just leave the cash on the table - they’re going to add something to the subscription to keep the people already paying $30/mo from dropping. To make it feel more worth their while.
