Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Возможность Приобрести По Старым Ценам У Крупных Ритейлеров

Русский Текст

Несмотря на недавнее повышение цен Microsoft на подписку Xbox Game Pass Ultimate с $20 до $30 в месяц, некоторые крупные ритейлеры, такие как GameStop, Amazon, Walmart, Target и Best Buy, продолжают предлагать ее по старой цене в $20 за месяц или $60 за три месяца. Это временная акция, и для участников GameStop Pro стоимость становится еще ниже – $19 за месяц или $57 за три месяца.

Повышение цены на 50% вызвало негативную реакцию у пользователей, особенно после предыдущего увеличения стоимости консолей. Хотя рост цен на подписки ожидаем по мере их развития и монетизации пользовательской базы, столь значительное повышение стало сюрпризом, даже с учетом добавления таких бонусов, как Fortnite Crew и Ubisoft+ Classics.

Цены также выросли на PC Game Pass (с $12 до $16.50), но предоплаченные коды по-прежнему можно найти по старой цене на Amazon. Подписки Game Pass Core и Game Pass Standard были переименованы в Game Pass Essential ($10/месяц) и Game Pass Premium ($15/месяц) соответственно, без изменения их стоимости.

В будущем, по мнению отраслевых аналитиков, Microsoft может представить более дешевый уровень Game Pass с рекламой, чтобы привлечь новых подписчиков. В настоящее время Game Pass уже приносит Microsoft значительный доход, достигнув почти $5 миллиардов годовой выручки.

Despite Microsoft`s recent price increase for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $20 to $30 per month, several major retailers like GameStop, Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy continue to offer it at the old price of $20 for one month or $60 for three months. This is a temporary promotion, and for GameStop Pro members, the cost is even lower – $19 per month or $57 for three months.

The 50% price hike sparked negative reactions from users, especially following previous console price increases. While subscription price increases are expected as services evolve and monetize their user base, such a significant jump was a surprise, even considering the addition of perks like Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics.

Prices also increased for PC Game Pass (from $12 to $16.50), but prepaid codes can still be found at the old price on Amazon. Game Pass Core and Game Pass Standard subscriptions have been renamed to Game Pass Essential ($10/month) and Game Pass Premium ($15/month) respectively, with no change to their cost.

In the future, according to industry analysts, Microsoft might introduce a cheaper, ad-supported Game Pass tier to attract new subscribers. Currently, Game Pass already generates substantial revenue for Microsoft, having reached nearly $5 billion in annual revenue.
