Why Game Pass Ultimate Is STILL the Best Deal in Gaming, Despite the Outrage
22Social media is melting down over Xbox’s new Game Pass plans, calling it theft, demanding to cancel, and saying the value is gone. But here’s the reality: the outrage is pure noise.
In this video, I break down why Game Pass Ultimate is STILL the best deal in gaming, why $30/month makes sense when games now cost $80 each, and how Xbox is quietly building the Amazon Prime of gaming by bundling Fortnite Crew, Ubisoft+, EA Play, Riot Games perks, cloud streaming, and more into one subscription.
This isn’t about a simple price hike. It’s about Xbox positioning Game Pass for the future of streaming and if they can match GeForce Now’s quality, that $30/month will be worth it for streaming alone.
