Xbox Insiders will be the first to check out the new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier, and can do it at a very low cost.
Xbox Insiders will be the first to check out the new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier. The plan costs just $1 per month for testers, who can also provide feedback, starting today.
Xbox has also clarified its plans for Game Pass Standard, the new tier for its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, and which games will be available for it. In an Xbox Wire post published Tuesday, Xbox Game Pass senior community lead Megan Spurr noted that day-one titles will still only come to the Game Pass Ultimate and PC plans. The Standard tier will only have access to the regular Game Pass catalog.
Recommended Videos Standard is being marketed toward users who want the multiplayer included with the Core plan at $10 per month, but also want a much larger catalog with “hundreds” of games and discounts for $15 per month when it launches. Otherwise, there’s a PC Game Pass plan for $12 per month that comes with access to PC games and EA Play, and the Ultimate plan, which is now priced at $20 per month and comes with everything, and is the only tier with cloud gaming.
“We created a new membership option in the Game Pass family to give players more choice in how they discover and play games and provide different prices and plans so players can find what works best for them,” Spurr wrote. Xbox announced changes to its Game Pass program in July, and that they would go into effect on July 10 for new subscribers. Beyond the new tier structure, it revealed price hikes were coming to all the existing plans, with Ultimate going from $17 to $20 per month. While many saw the price hikes coming eventually, there was a lot of backlash. We’ll have to see if the subscription service remains a good deal when it publicly launches.
