Xbox Insiders will be the first to try the new standard level of Xbox Game Pass. The plan costs only $1 per month for the first testers, who can also give their feedback on the pass, starting today.
Xbox has also clarified its plans for Game Pass Standard, the new level of its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, and which games will be available for it.
In a Xbox Wire post published on Tuesday, Megan Spurr, Senior Head of Xbox Game Pass Community, pointed out that day 1 games will only be available on Game Pass Ultimate and PC plans.
A new tier system that convinces almost no one
The Standard level will only have access to the regular Game Pass catalog. That’s not much, but it means that if day one games stay in the service, they could be available on Standard for ’12 months or more.’
The standard rate is being marketed to users who want multiplayer included in the Core plan for $10 per month, but also want a much larger catalog with hundreds of games and discounts.
Furthermore, there is a PC Game Pass plan for $12 per month that includes access to PC games (including new releases) and EA Play.
‘We have created a new subscription option in the Game Pass family to give players more choices when it comes to discovering and playing, and to offer different prices and plans so that players can find what suits them best,’ writes Spurr on the Xbox website.
Xbox announced changes to its Game Pass program in July, which would take effect on July 10th for new subscribers. In addition to the new tier structure, price increases were announced for all existing plans, with Ultimate going from $17 to $20 per month.
Although many saw the price increase coming, there were many reactions against it. We’ll have to see if the subscription service remains a good deal when it launches publicly.
