Xbox Slashes Game Pass Prices

In a rare concession to gamers, Microsoft is lowering the monthly cost of its flagship gaming subscription.

Effective immediately, Game Pass Ultimate will drop from $30 to $23 per month, essentially reversing a controversial price hike from last year.

However, the discount comes with a major change: new 'Call of Duty' titles will no longer be included in the service on their release day.

This strategic shift aims to boost subscriber numbers while protecting the high-value sales of its most popular franchises.
