The PC Game Pass is moving from $11.99 to $16.49.
Game Pass Standard is now called Game Pass Premium, and it’s still $14.99.
“Game Pass Essential” is the new name for Game Pass Core, basically the bottom tier needed to access online multiplayer for Xbox consoles.
You can no longer exchange Microsoft Rewards — which is getting a profile boost thanks to the upcoming Windows 10 cutoff — directly for an Xbox Game Pass subscription.
Now, you’ll need to buy Xbox gift cards and cash those in for a Game Pass subscription — but said gift cards are available in $25 increments, while Game Pass Ultimate now costs $30 a month.
