It is not hard to get your money’s worth with Xbox Game Pass. I said that when it first launched at $5/month, and maintained that when it went up to $10/month ($15/month for Ultimate). Now it’s $11/month ($17/month) and it’s still the best deal in gaming. Game Pass added over 100 games so far this year, most of them brand new, and you only needed to play a small handful of them to make your subscription worthwhile.
It doesn’t seem like Game Pass is going to stop growing anytime soon, either. There’s already more than 40 games confirmed coming to the service next year, including Fable, Hellblade 2, Stalker 2, Avowed, Ark 2, Citizen Sleeper 2, Hollow Knight 2, The Outer Worlds 2, and Still Wakes the Deep. This week,Activision Blizzard tweetedit will begin adding games, such as Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo 4, to Game Pass in the future.
My household has been pretty cavalier about collecting streaming subscriptions, but with all the recent price increases we’ve had to make so frustrating decisions about what to keep and what cordless cord to cut. Hulu’s monthly fee just increased from $15 to $18, while Disney Plus jumped from $11 to $14. Amazon Prime’s annual price increased by $20 this year, while Max increased by $1 a month. Netflix, which increased to $15.50 last year, is reportedly going to increase again. Many of these services, including Netflix, Hulu, Discovery Plus, Paramount Plus (just increased by $2/month), and AMC Plus all offer an ad-supported tier for a lower monthly price. Even so, these subscriptions add up so quickly that it’s easy to spend more now than we ever did on cable television.
