Xbox reputation is in a pretty rough place right now. After some already unpopular price increases for hardware and software earlier in the year, Game Pass is now more expensive too, with Game Pass Ultimate to go up in price by 50 percent.
To make things worse, the Xbox owner gets a full-screen ad and tells them about how wonderful the new deal is. Some Game Pass subscribers have begun to notice this, with the ad that greeted them when they started their consoles or opened the Xbox app on another device. It seems to be both warn users of the price changes and try to encourage those who are not already ultimate subscribers to make the jump.
Xbox gives its players ads about how well the new, more expensive game pass subscription is
This was discovered by Tom Warren from The Verge, as well as Pure Xbox, and several others in the answers. I underwent a while back, and I didn't get the ad on any platform, so it seems to be focused on those who are on a different playing card subscription other than Ultimate (although ultimate subscribers still seem to get a full-screen pop-up about the changes).
Now, on the one hand, it is good that Xbox warns everyone to this before $ 29.99 is unexpectedly taken from their accounts. However, this is less of a warning and more of an attempt to make this sound as a positive change. Certainly ultimate subscribers will get Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft Plus Classics that are thrown in there together with their Game Pass offers, but this is still a steep price increase, and at a time when games just become more expensive.
So, a full -screen ad trying to sell this as some kind of winning profit is not very good. It's no wonder that the website to cancel the Game Pass subscription seemed so overwhelmed yesterday that it continued to crash.
It has been a rough year for Xbox and its fans. Earlier in the year, console prices rose, and then it was revealed that Rog Xbox Ally X would be priced at an eye -catching $ 999.99. This is quite shock after Xbox placed itself as affordable and consumer friendly at the beginning of the console generation.
