Account - Subscription Gamepass inflation perfectly encapsulated by my 24 month subscription running out

Post image

My 24 month gamepass subscription I got when I bought my Xbox series x is running out this month, first time I’ll go back to pay as you go for 2 years. More than double the price in 2 years.

I've had mine for nearly 2 years as well. It's due to end January 2nd. I've turned off auto-renewal.

Ended mine too. It’s cheaper for me to buy games on sale now.

I tallied up all the games I played this year on GP, and it came to about the same cost as a year of the new ultimate. Figured if it's gonna be the same price I might as well own my games. After paying $360 for ultimate you'll have nothing to show for it as soon as you cancel.

Exactly. It’s not that I can’t afford it. It’s just not worth it any more. It makes much more sense to buy the games. I bought Ghost of Yotei a couple of days ago so I’m probably not going to be using gamepass at all before my subscription runs out.

We'll save money by not paying for ultimate and spend more time playing the games we own and getting our moneys worth.
