Microsoft says its recent Xbox Game Pass price cut is already showing positive results. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said the lower prices are “helping move Xbox in the right direction.” In April 2026, Microsoft reduced Game Pass Ultimate from $29.99 to $22.99 per month and PC Game Pass from $16.49 to $13.99 per month. Microsoft made the changes to attract more users and make Game Pass more affordable after many gamers complained about earlier price increases. However, a big change is that new Call of Duty games will no longer come to Game Pass on day one. Players may need to wait about a year after release before those games are added.

Xbox has reportedly canceled its planned Game Pass Family Plan. The subscription would have allowed up to four users to share access to the full Game Pass library at a discounted rate. It was tested in countries including Ireland and Colombia but was ultimately dropped after EA strongly opposed the shared library concept and its impact on game sales.

Several upcoming games have reportedly appeared in the Xbox Game Pass “Coming Soon” section ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7. The titles include: -Clockwork Revolution -Fable -Tropico 7 -Witchbrook -Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy -There Are No Ghosts At The Grand Armatus All of the games are listed with TBA release dates and are expected to launch day one on Game Pass.

Dune: Awakening is out on Xbox Series and PS5, with Game Pass on September 22. Funcom’s open-world survival game was already on PC. Consoles get a full single-player mode, private servers, optional PvP, extra story, maps and a rebuilt endgame. Standard is £31.99. Deluxe £58.49. Ultimate £74.99. Alternate history where Paul Atreides never existed. You pick Atreides or Harkonnen. First announced for consoles back in 2022.

Rumor, not confirmed. ResetEra post says Game Pass gets rebuilt in 2027. $12.99 with ads. $19.99 without. Cloud yanked out and sold as $5.99 for 25 hours. Multiplayer as its own $10.99 sub. Family is another $5.99. Day one games off the service starting Feb–April. Price drops $3 because the new releases leave with them. Nate the Hate did not vouch for the list. He said the poster has been right before. That’s it. Xbox already capped cloud hours for November. This rumor just finishes the unbundle. You keep paying. You get less of the thing that made the sub worth the price.
