Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Drop and Call of Duty Changes Announced Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription service is undergoing a pricing adjustment, with the monthly fee decreasing from $29.99 to $22.99. Simultaneously, the PC Game Pass tier is also being reduced, dropping from $16.49 to $13.99 per month. The updated rates are effective immediately and may vary depending on the region. The changes come alongside a revised strategy for the inclusion of new Call of Duty titles in the Game Pass library. Beginning this year, future Call of Duty games will no longer be available on Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass at launch. Instead, these titles will be added to the service during the subsequent holiday season, approximately one year after their initial release. Existing Call of Duty games already in the Game Pass library will remain accessible to subscribers. Microsoft emphasized that the pricing adjustments and policy changes reflect feedback from its diverse player base, which spans various geographic regions, gaming preferences, and tastes. The company noted that while there is no single model that suits all players, the updates aim to address concerns raised by the community. The decision to delay new Call of Duty titles on Game Pass was also framed as a way to balance the service’s content offerings with the broader gaming ecosystem. The announcement was accompanied by additional updates about upcoming titles and content for Xbox platforms. Albion Online, a long-running MMORPG, is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S today, expanding its availability to players on the newer hardware. Additionally, several new games and titles, including Kiln, Aphelion, and Final Fantasy V, are set to join the Xbox Game Pass library in the coming weeks.#microsoft #call_of_duty #xbox_game_pass_ultimate #albion_online #kiln
