Is there a sub just to play online with no other features?

game pass core, iirc
The shoe is on the hand it fits
There's really nothing much to it
As the way it should be. MS the problem isn't GP its pulling back the customers you lost. GP is a bandaid. It's not going to work long term. Games are what bring people in and if everyone just plays GP day one they don't buy games later. You are a rental service now. Work on must have exclusives. Think outside the box. What you are doing isn't working

All those people who said that Microsoft won't raise the price of Game Pass after acquiring Activision are quiet right now. Gotta pay for Call of Duty somehow.

Play it Day One on Game Pass!*

*But only if you pay for the highest tier and even then it's not a guarantee (see Starfield)

lol
Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Thanks!

Looked online and can get that at $37 for a year.

Should be free though. :P
They need to make online play free.

I am unsubscribing, I just don't use it enough to justify another price increase.

This. It was a strategy to attract gamers while they built their consumer base. Just like every other streaming service.
SEXY SEXY!

Just once I wish changes would be for the benefit of a user.

Still not buying into it.
Ive been subbed to it for a while but the only games I played on it were Hi-Fi Rush and a little bit of palworld. I think I tried some dj max game or something as well?
no idea why I even pay for it
Damn that sucks
Bucks World Champions 2021
PS4 looks great
So many posts itt that I can't see o.0

Anyway, the only one that I'd consider is PC game pass, I guess

Mine has a bit more than a year left, but I'm not renewing. I just don't use it enough. I have a family and responsibilities, which means less time for gaming. I only play 4 or 5 games a year, and most of those aren't on Gamepass anyway.
rip gaming
don't care
I canceled my sub in September after two years. Initially I was fine because me and my friends played Warzone enough that I felt it was worth having for online and the added bonus of having games at my finger tips. But slowly I realized I never really got to those games. Like, I did want to play Hi Fi Rush and Starfield, but I didn't feel that sense of hype for a new game I would have if I was 20 years younger. I can wait a long time, and have. So my tally of games after 2 years that I played off of game pass was . . . Ori and the Blind Forest. One game.

Then my friends and I playing anything at all fell off like a rock. I finally just cancelled cause I wasn't getting anything out of it.

welp, just in time to stack my subscription a couple years.

They have a lot of nerve to pull this after XBox Live was completely out of service for an entire day the other week, rendering entire consoles useless since you cant even access apps like YouTube without being signed in.

Game pass has been and will continue to be a scam.

My Xbox Ultimate Gamepass Membership was going to run out next year.

I went ahead and grabbed 12 months of Core for $37 since they probably will be in demand soon.

My Ultimate Gamepass was also extended with this.

Not sure why that was given extra, but I'm not going to complain. :)

This is what they hope for. It's a loss for you completely to keep using it. Just buy the games you want.

Turns out Zio did the same thing. Game pass, is, a, scam. Patience will save you time and money. I don't have infinite hours to play games, a service that provides hundreds is a service that is begging to be forgotten and drain people of money for no gain.

Shareholders gotta get that unsustainable infinite growth.
Wrestling fans are the worst thing about being a wrestling fan.
It was never sustainable. Youre getting blockbuster games day one for paying 15-20? It was just a matter time til they raised prices. And its still a good deal. You can subscribe a month and beat the latest game for 50 bucks less than it costs purchasing the game.

Of course, its still a tall ask of a price for many people to pay monthly, specially when all else keeps going up as well. Entertainment is the first thing to go/cut corners.
Mas dicen, que en las dimensiones de nuestro ser... hay muchos detalles por conocer...
20 bucks a months is 240 bucks a year. That's some doe right there.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I love GP and get so much use out of it. It has introduced me to games I would have never tried before.
Same tbh.

But then I also havent really ever bought a game in forever as a result.

We already know how this ends looking at Netflix.

It starts off good then turns to poo while raising the price multiple times in 1 year.

I dont like it for the industry

with production costs games were already struggling to make a profit at millions of copies sold, how can companies budget for a wide variety of games when they just go on streaming right away?

Netflix's problem was competition and throwing money around like it meant nothing.

XBOX Gamepass was just not a long term viable solution from the start with the amount of money they were pouring into it to have games on their platform. It solely existed as a draw to the XBOX and thereby Microsoft ecosystem. Since they pretty much have given up on trying to compete in the console market, they now have to find a way for it to make financial sense.

Streaming is inevitable, though. I think if the film and tv industry can figure out how to create huge profits with straight-to-streaming models, then so can the gaming industry.
I don't believe they've figured it out yet either though. They have massive userbases, and I love and prefer streaming, but it just doesn't bring in enough money as physical media or theaters for individual works.
...I think I'm done here...

A three dollar price increase isn't the worse thing in the world. Obviously anyone would have preferred the previous pricing, but the increase could have been much, much worst for far, far less. *Cough*PS+*Cough*
