What’s happening in the world of fun

Xbox Game Pass for PC has been bizarrely cheap since it launched into beta last year: an initial $1 trial month rolled into a $5 per month subscription, which was more than worth it for a library of over 100 games. But all good things must come to an end, and since midSeptember, Xbox Game Pass for PC has exited beta and its monthly price is now double.

It’s not unexpected: the $5 per month was always a limited offer and the usual $10.95 is about what you’d expect to pay for a subscription service. For reference, in the US Netflix Standard is US$13, and Spotify is US$10.

According to an official tweet, the service will enter ‘General Availability,’ which seems to suggest that it’ll be available in more regions, though at the time of writing these regions aren’t specified anywhere.
