Xbox Game Pass News: Major Titles Removed in New Subscription Model
Xbox Game Pass Standard Launches
As Microsoft rolls out the new Game Pass Standard, subscribers will find themselves cut off from some high-profile titles such as Diablo 4 and Starfield. This change has raised eyebrows in gaming news circles, highlighting the implications of subscription-based access.
Key Changes in the Subscription Service
- Game Pass Standard eliminates day one releases.
- Cost is £10.99 per month.
- Subscribers now face removals, affecting around 40 titles.
These removals include favorites that players had come to rely on. The significant absence of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and notable indie titles from the platform amplifies concerns over content accessibility.
Impact on Subscribers
- Ultimate subscribers can still enjoy full access for £14.99.
- A PC membership will still offer day one access for £9.99.
- New releases may take up to 12 months to appear on the Standard tier.
As Microsoft aims to enhance Game Pass subscriber numbers, the community watches closely for any further developments. The standard membership seems to be a mixed bag—promising new titles while limiting player access to beloved games.
