Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is getting a price hike. “Starting today, we’re introducing three upgraded Game Pass plans based on how players play: Essential, Premium, and Ultimate," said Xbox. Today’s Game Pass Core subscribers will automatically move to Essential, Standard subscribers will transition to Premium, and Ultimate subscribers will remain in the Ultimate plan. These are in addition to the over 400 games currently available on Xbox consoles, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud. Xbox says the new pricing is due to all the new games being added to Xbox Game Pass.
