Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is Now $360 a Year - Is It Still Worth It?

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate just hit $360 a year and gamers are NOT happy about it. Microsoft is trying to justify this massive price hike by bundling in EA Play, Ubisoft Classics, and Fortnite Crew, but is it actually worth it? Let's break down what you're really getting for your money: The Good: Day-one access to huge exclusives like Doom, Gears of War, and the highly anticipated Silksong EA Play included for sports and shooter fans Fortnite Crew membership with monthly V-Bucks and Battle Pass The Not-So-Good: Ubisoft Classics is the basic tier, not the premium version with all the best games Fortnite Crew comes loaded with cosmetics and jam tracks most people won't use They REMOVED the game and DLC discounts that made Game Pass even more valuable Here's the reality check: Studies show the average gamer only buys about 2 games per year. At $70 per game, that's $140 annually. Game Pass Ultimate is now asking for $360 - more than double what most people spend on games.
