Microsoft has announced that it is reducing the price of its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscription plans. The CEO of the Xbox division, Asha Sharma, posted on X that the Game Pass Ultimate has become too expensive for too many players, due to which the company is now reducing the price. However, there is a trade-off. From now onwards, upcoming Call of Duty titles will no longer join Game Pass Ultimate on day one. They will join this tier the following holiday after launch.
