- Discounts have now been replaced by reward points
- “Ultimate and premium subscribers will earn 10% and 5% – respectively – in points when purchasing games and add-ons from the Game Pass Library,” explains Microsoft
More changes have been made to Xbox Game Pass, as Microsoft confirms it has removed discounts on all game and downloadable content (DLC) purchases from its popular subscription service.
Last week, ‘Charlieintel’ pointed out that the game’s ultimate members could no longer access the 10% discounts on add-on content for Call of Dutyincluding the removal of the discount on Call of Duty Points and Blackcell, a premium upgrade to the standard achievement that costs real money.
At the time, it was thought that this change was limited to Call of Duty and its DLC; However, Microsoft has now confirmed that it now reflects all games and DLC purchases.
Instead of game pass discounts, ultimate and premium subscribers will now receive 10% and 5% reward points.
In a statement to IGN, Microsoft said: “This is not specific to any game and reflects all games and DLC purchases. Instead of a discount on purchases, Ultimate and Premium subscribers will earn 10% and 5% – respectively – in points when purchasing games and add-ons from the Game Pass library of games.
“Ultimate Members continue to have a 20% discount on select games from the Game Pass Library.
This comes after Microsoft announced major changes to Xbox Game Pass, which saw three improved plans and a massive price hike for the Ultimate Membership.
Now Ultimate will cost $29.99 / £22.99 / AU$35.95 per month, down from $19.99 / £14.99 / AU$22.95. There is currently no option for a 12 month subscription.
