    Yeah, for $1 (between 9.99 and 10.99) this is just a price decoy / asymmetric dominance exercise.

    Core will go away (or at least deprioritized from a marketing perspective) once they’ve successfully transitioned everyone off GfG.

      Gamepass console doesn’t include online multiplayer. You need ultimate at 15 a month to get both the gamepass library and online play.

        Ah man, that’s kinda goofy. I have PC Game Pass and I know they’re technically different products.

          I agree it’s goofy. It’s just dumb that online multiplayer is still locked behind a paywall. I have Ultimate and I think it’s a good value at the moment but it still ticks me off I can’t play online on my Xbox without an active sub. Not to mention that Microsoft puts ads on the Xbox homepage that are not optional. Feels like they’re having their cake and eating it too.
