Microsoft has reduced the monthly prices for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, effective today. This price cut comes with a significant change: new Call of Duty games will no longer be available day-one, launching on Game Pass approximately a year after release.

• Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is now $22.99 (down from $29.99), a 23% reduction, while PC Game Pass is $13.99 (down from $16.49), a 15% decrease.
• The price adjustments are attributed to Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma, who stated Game Pass had become "too expensive for too many players."
• The decision to delay new Call of Duty releases on Game Pass is linked to reports that including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at launch cost Microsoft over $300 million in lost sales.
