Microsoft To Combine Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Into $14.99-a-Month Subscription (theverge.com) 44

Microsoft is planning on launching a new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription that combines Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass into a single monthly charge. From a report: Twitter user h0x0d first revealed the new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, and it claims the service will be priced at $14.99 per month. The Verge understands that Microsoft will likely unveil this service alongside the company's new disc-less Xbox One S All-Digital edition later this month. The combination of Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live subscriptions into a single monthly charge means Xbox owners will save around $5 per month compared to the $19.98 monthly subscription price for an existing combination of the two. It's not a massive savings, but the new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offering will make a lot of sense for Microsoft's new disc-less Xbox One S since this console won't include a Blu-ray drive and will rely heavily on digital downloads and Xbox subscription services.

  • At $15/month that's waaay cheaper than taking my kid to a movie, or out to a water park or out.... oh wait. I see what they did there.

    • They're kids. Kick them outside and they'll make their own games as long as their imagination hasn't been completely eroded.
  • I've been a PlayStation Plus subscriber for ages, it would be great to have it combined with PlayStation Now. The reason I didn't change from PlayStation Plus is I had a bunch of free games, and I get a discount for having both PSP & PS Vue.
    • I have PS Vue, but no Playstation (XBox instead). Vue works fine on the Roku. Wish it would run on the XBox, which offers nothing similar.

After the last of 16 mounting screws has been removed from an access cover, it will be discovered that the wrong access cover has been removed.
