The recent price increase to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has seriously reduced its value, making one of the service's alternative tiers the new best option (if you're able to use it well, that is).

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has jumped to $30 a month, and for the first time, the subscription doesn’t feel worth it to me. While Microsoft has added perks like Fortnite Crew, Ubisoft+ Classics, and improved cloud streaming, these extras don’t align with what I actually value.

As good as Xbox Play Anywhere is, it's still indie studios doing the lion's share of the work here. Ahead of the Xbox Ally and OEM Xbox push, this probably isn't good enough.
