Overview
- Microsoft lowered Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $22.99 and PC Game Pass to $13.99 on Tuesday, with changes taking effect immediately in many regions.
- Future Call of Duty releases will no longer hit Game Pass at launch, arriving about a year later during the following holiday season.
- Existing Call of Duty entries stay in the library, and Essential and Premium tiers keep current prices and perks.
- Asha Sharma, who took over Xbox in February, said Ultimate had become too expensive for many players and signaled more learning and changes ahead.
- Analysts said day-one Call of Duty did not materially grow subscriptions, so the price cut paired with delayed Call of Duty access looks like a course correction.
