Say goodbye to subscription stacking on Game Pass for Console.
One of the best aspects of Xbox Game Pass for Console is being completely removed from the service by Microsoft. Within recent days, Microsoft made big waves as it announced it would be increasing the cost of Xbox Game Pass . Not only would all tiers of the subscription platform be going up, but a new offering dubbed" Xbox Game Pass Standard" is also set to go live in the coming months.
In a breakdown on the official Xbox website, Microsoft revealed that it's going to start preventing Xbox Game Pass for Console from being able to be stacked for multiple years at a time. When Game Pass has gone on sale at various retailers in the past, some subscribers have chosen to buy many months or years worth of the service and add it to their account at once to ensure their membership remains active for the long haul at a lower price.
"As of September 18, 2024, the maximum extension limit of Game Pass for Console will be 13 months," Microsoft said in its FAQ."This will not impact any time you currently have stacked on your account that exceeds 13 months and will only impact your future ability to stack more than 13 months after September 18, 2024."The main reason that Microsoft is ending subscription stacking for Xbox Game Pass for Console is because it wants to end this tier of the service entirely.
The good news here is that if you're already an Xbox Game Pass for Console subscriber, you'll be able to continue being one in perpetuity as long as you continue to automatically renew your membership. Furthermore, Game Pass Ultimate isn't being impacted very much by these overhauls outside of a broad price increase to $19.99 per month.
