Following the announcement of the price increase, Microsoft has once again made adjustments to the XGP service. According to the latest news, the company will limit the XGP cumulative purchase time starting in September to gradually phase out the XGP console version service.


Microsoft recently announced that it will make major adjustments to Xbox Game Pass, the most notable of which is the restriction on the cumulative duration of the Xbox Game Pass console version. Starting September 18, players will no longer be able to purchase an Xbox Game Pass console version subscription for more than 13 months.

The move means that players will no longer be able to enjoy lower prices and secure long-term membership by purchasing multi-month or multi-year subscriptions. Microsoft said the change is to gradually phase out the Xbox Game Pass console version and replace it with the new "Xbox Game Pass Standard Edition."

According to previous news, although the Xbox Game Pass standard version will replace the XGP console version, it will no longer include the benefit of "joining XGP on the first day of release", which was one of the most attractive highlights of XGP for players before.

Microsoft's move has sparked controversy among players, some of whom believe that limiting the duration of overlays and eliminating the Xbox Game Pass console version will reduce the cost-effectiveness of the game and may lead to player loss. How Microsoft will develop the XGP service in the future and how players will adapt to these changes will be a focus of attention.
