But Wait, There’s More!
Before diving headfirst into these exciting new titles, it’s important to take a moment to bid farewell to a few games that will be leaving the services on November 15. These departing titles include:
- Blacksmith Master
- Football Manager 24
- Football Manager 24 Console Edition
- Frostpunk
- Spirittea
- STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl
One can only wonder if the developers will gather around a campfire and sing “goodbye” songs in their honor. Probably not, but it’s worth imagining.
The Price of Awesomeness
Just when one thinks it couldn’t get any weirder, Microsoft has decided to sprinkle some price adjustments into the mix. The new price tag for Ultimate, once a cozy $19.99/£14.99, has leapt up to $29.99/£22.99. A hefty leap for gamers looking to embrace their gaming sanctuary!
And in the name of new beginnings, the tiers have received a facelift: Ultimate, Premium, and Essential—because everything sounds cooler when there’s a rebranding involved! The good news? PC Game Pass stays alive as a separate subscription, albeit now with a monthly price tag of $16.49 / £13.49.
All is set for an explosive November, filled with new gaming adventures and awkward farewells to old favorites. Grab those controllers, as an epic gaming saga awaits. Let the games begin!
