This is obviously just a money grab at this point, isn't it?

News of the family plan ending in August comes just days after Microsoft bumped its overall Xbox Game Pass monthly prices. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has move from $14.99 per month to $16.99 (€14.99 / £12.99).

I think gamers are just different based on taste. I tried the subscription and didn’t find anything I wanted to play (see my other comment). There are gamers who like it because they want to play games they wouldn’t buy. I buy games I want to play. I pay less than 120 bucks a year on games because I wait for discounts on Steam, I guess. For me the GamePass isn’t useful, as I’ve learned by trying it. For others, it is useful because they want to play all the games they can.

Given what you get for game pass, is it costing more really a deal killer? If you have the internet it's still super worth it, and if they double the price it'll still be pretty good.

I hope they don't kill family share feature also...

Is this service maybe better for people with an Xbox console? I tried Game Pass for PC and wasn't impressed. I won't be renewing. I'm glad I could try it for cheap to see what it's like, though.

We never got it in Germany anyway. Which was annoying, cause I would have really liked it for my best friend and I.
