FTC Calls New Xbox Game Pass a "Degraded Product"
For those not as caught up on the changes, Xbox Game Pass for consoles is already not available to new members any longer as that option has been removed entirely with Xbox Game Pass Standard more or less taking its place. Xbox Game Pass Standard is kind of like the previous option albeit with the huge caveat that it doesn't include day-one releases. On top of those retooled options, both of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC subscriptions are now more expensive with no real incentives or perks attached to those price increases unless you're just wowed by the prospects of what's coming to Xbox Game Pass soon.
People are not very happy about these changes, and neither is the FTC. The new documents filed by the commission specifically pointed out the price increases and the discontinuation of Xbox Game Pass for consoles as a product. Recalling its issues with the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard acquisition, the FTC basically says "I told you so" in the filing.
