Yet another Gamepass price increase

[minky monkey]

So, not content with putting the price up not long ago, they sent out another email increasing it another £2 to £14.99 a month.

Enough is enough, I've just picked up a 6 month subscription for £35.

Mines gone from 18.95 to 22.95…AUD. So now about £11.50.

I wonder how they justify the UK being £3.50 dearer?

PC Gamepass is £9.99 per month. Even at that price, not sure if it's worth paying .. I have a 'gratis' 1 year full sub that runs out in a few months as a bonus from a new Broadband contract a while back and I rarely use it.

Doesn't help that I prefer to play by streaming the games to my TV and a lot of the games on Gamepass will insist on opening on a screen that matches the Windows desktop resolution (which is 5120x1440 in a 32:9 aspect for me), and just pillbox the 32:9 screen if you select a res with 16:9 ratio. A real headache for streaming, I just end up not playing them and not using the service.

I much prefer Steam as I can pick up my Steamdeck and continue playing stuff using the cloud saves from that service. Also, Steamlink streaming to the TV is much less of a faff than setting up everything needed to stream Xboxlive games and usually doesn't have the same aspect ratio crap to deal with.

I've finally binned Gamepass off ... Went from Ultimate down to PC because I had not touched my Xbox for months.

Only using it for Flight Simulator so will buy the new version on release.

I'm not going to miss it
