This week on the Eurogamer Newscast
Microsoft has announced major changes to Xbox Game Pass, and it’s causing quite a stir among gamers. Xbox Game Pass for console is being replaced by Xbox Game Pass Standard, which will no longer include new day one games from Microsoft, Activision, Blizzard, and Bethesda. Additionally, the prices for the service are going up.
The question on everyone’s mind is: are these changes signaling the end of Game Pass as a must-have subscription for Xbox owners? Or, with Microsoft’s recent impressive summer presentation showcasing the upcoming 2025 slate, are gamers now more inclined to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, where day one launches will still be included?
Joining us this week
On this episode of the Eurogamer Newscast, I am joined by Ed Nightingale and Victoria Kennedy from Eurogamer to dive deeper into these changes and discuss their potential impact on the gaming community.
