Microsoft Confirms It Scrapped the Xbox Game Pass Discount on All Games and DLC Purchases

IGN: "Microsoft has confirmed it has scrapped the Xbox Game Pass discount on DLC purchases. Instead, it’s giving subscribers more points for use in its Rewards scheme."

Can they get more awful than that?
Yes they can

Your dam right. Both daily and weekly play Points made through the Xbox phone app have been reduced!

Relientk77102d ago

I like how they conveniently did not mention this last week with the Game Pass price increase.

lodossrage102d ago

they probably didn't mention that because they couldn't figure out a way to spin taking away discounts as "value".

So instead they pulled the old "just do it and hope it goes under the radar".

But But but I was told that game pass was great and that you get a discount when you buy games and dlc? /S

Not anymore you don't. Lol.

Microsoft is "selectively" screwing you.

My MS Rewards got nerfed too. Logging in on the mobile app used to give me 5, 10, 15, 20, 25pts consecutive. Now it’s 2, 6, 10, 14, 18.

Snookies12101d ago

Rewards has been going downhill for a LONG time. Back in the day, it was pretty easy to get free months of Game Pass Ultimate, lol. I went like 7 months straight getting it free every month with just my points. Microsoft are now hellbent on doing anything they can to squeeze more money out of people at this point. Regardless of the long-term consequences.

Phoenix76101d ago

Weekly play Points down as well. From 150 to 110 for both console and pc

But I thought Xbox gamepass was getting better?

Good! .....and no more awfully boring simulators as well please!

galgor1d 1h ago

You didn't see the group of simulator games that just launched then, eh?

Next story will be about how Sony is hurting gamers by blocking trash games.

....don't give them ideas.....

gold_drake1d 6h ago

dude who made those games definitely made bank with them tho.

im glad they're gone tho

I hate those trophy whore games so good.

DivineHand1251d 4h ago

Too bad for the trophy hunters, but this action is necessary.

The existence of these games for the sole purpose of helping people pad their trophy list cheapens the experience.

It also clutters the store with garbage games.

I wouldn't even care if you could just filter them
but I like sorting by newest to oldest to see new games and this really just ruins it
