New AAA Xbox first party games will launch at $70.00, still on game pass day one.

Not just dev cost, but for the money they just spent on purchasing them and all the other stuff they’ve had to do to get it through.

My guess it won’t be a big leap, but the one that may make the most sense would be the family pack, when it eventually releases in other major markets. When it does I’ll add ya to it if ya like?

Oooo how many spots you have ? 🤔

My sub ends in 2025 😬

Everywhere.

The sentiment was Sony is evil/bad/anticonsumerism when they do it but when MS does it, it's okay because inflation , increased development costs and the content warrants it.

These companies don't care about all that, it's about their profit margin. They will do what's best for their companies.
Pot meet kettle.

Seriously, not sure why anyone gives a s*** what everyone else thinks, but you just described the fanboyism on both sides. Someone wants to act the fool, then they should probably expect the same medicine at some point.

We’re already full. You can stay in the guest house if you want.

I bet they’ll raise the price of GP/GPU will go up once they buyout goes through, or afterwards. We’ll probably get another notice that I’ll go up, maybe not 2023 but 2024.
It has to and that's just how sub services work, you have to keep making content which is expensive and if your sub numbers don't keep growing you are in trouble.
 
It was only a matter of time before MSFT followed this trend in pricing. It sucks but at least the blow is softened for those of us who are Gamepass subscribers. And yes, that'll go up in price at some point. But Gamepass a helluva lot cheaper than purchasing every game at full price. This is an advantage unique to MSFT.

I'd buy the "costs have increased" stuff......if they weren't making everything a live service full of battlepasses, lootboxes, and micro transactions. Games now a days make more money than ever. Get rid of all that crap and I'd gladly pay more
 
Translation=you hope not.

Did you forget that what makes sense certain companies don't do?
You mean like a normal consumer. Because who in the world would praise and want a raising of prices? OH! Right! You did. lol.

Never said it didn't makes sense either.

Who said they wanted price increases?
Nobody but this doof>> YOU are mentioning it.





To the latter part of the post..

Is a joke.

MS said that the price increase was to reflect the content, scale, and technical complexity of these ($70) titles (Motorsport, Redfall , Starfield etc.) which is BS anyways. Flight Sim, Halo Infinite, FH 5 are not worth $70?
Infinite is not for sure lol, they yanked the MP out and made it F2P and that campaign was as barebones as it could be, one biome, repeated missions, almost no story to speak of.

Yeah but if you are subbed mainly for day one games you've gotten ripped off over the last 4 years.

I buy maybe 1, max 2 full priced games a year. The rest is either on Gamepass or on sale.
Lol anyone caring about a price hike for a console they don't even buy games for (even if they retardedly caught up $500 for the console they hate to justify their battle for Sony).

And these lies are why nobody takes you serious.

Still need to play the SP campaign lol.

Will see if that's how it really is.
 
They keep talking about value and etc and taking digs at the competition and end up doing the same thing. Be real here this was ALWAYS going to happen, game pass will go up in price too once they start releasing more games. They really had no way to justify a higher price for games when they've only released two new first party games in the last 2 years.

They aren't the first one to go to $70 obviously and it's totally justified to do so but the fact that so many xbox fans were online talking about everyone else's $70 games and now all of the sudden when some games may actually be coming out next year the price is going up most of them are all for it. I wonder if they'd have done this sooner had Starfield and Redfall actually made it out this year?
I mean reality is reality. Them having to deal with rising costs is one. I can hardly get mad or blame them.

As far as gamepass goes, there will be a threshold on price people are willing to pay. If Ms doesn't get it right people will leave the service and they'll lose money.

As far as the s*** talking? Who cares? That's always going to be a thing' be it Bots or Ponys...
 
Despite saying they wouldn't do it this year but would have to eventually?
He did say that this won't last forever, but will keep it the same during the holidays. Changes nothing, I mean games will always go on sale and deals. I am okay with gamepass going up in price withwhat they been buying, not including a family pack we can have.

I see a landscape changing again and setting for next gen stuff.

Could part of the reason for “development complexity” be because of last gen development, just means work for devs to do? With it seeing that major pubs like Ubisoft raising prices as well. I just hope the next price bump isn't for cross gen upgrades 😆
