Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month. PC Game Pass will also drop from $16.49 to $13.99 a month. Prices may vary by region.

Beginning this year, future Call of Duty titles won’t join Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass at launch. New Call of Duty games will be added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass during the following holiday season (about a year later), while existing Call of Duty titles already in the library will continue to be available.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will continue to have access to hundreds of games on Xbox console and PC including current Call of Duty titles, in-game benefits, online console multiplayer, and major day one releases. You can find more details on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, Game Pass Essential, and PC Game Pass plans here, and manage your account here.

Our players cover a wide breadth of geographies, preferences, and tastes, so while there isn’t a single model that’s best for everyone, this change responds to a lot of feedback we’ve gotten so far. We’ll continue to listen and learn.

Thank you for being a part of the Xbox community.

    Can they release an Xbox live subscription with no games? $120 a year for online is ridiculous

      That was their plan all along. They tried to double the price of Gold and received a huge backlash, so they walked the change back, and then merged Gold with GamePass to raise the price again without people noticing. I don’t think there’s a chance of them going back to the old price point.

      You could get a pc and not pay for online play. Just saying.

        I have a PC. I only pay for gamepass to play 360 games online. PC doesn’t help me play 360 exclusives online or games that are a risk to play online on PC due to RCE exploits like the 360 era CoDs

          No game is good enough to convince me to pay a subscription to play it online. I refused back when WoW came out and I will continue to do so. There are enough exclusives on PC.

          If the price of gamepass annoys you and you have a pc maybe you could also find games that don’t need it.
