New Delhi: Microsoft has announced its initial Xbox Game Pass line since the Ultimate plan had to be increased in price, thus evoking a dispute among fans. Microsoft has recently raised the monthly price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50 percent, about $120 annually, raising it from $19.99 to $29.99. Though the move was criticised by many players, Microsoft justified the new pricing by saying they have a broader catalogue, better quality cloud streaming, and other new partner benefits like Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft Plus Classics.
Microsoft is continuing with the rollout of its content in October 2025 regardless of the backlash. The new collection consists of both blockbuster hits and indies such as Baldur, Ninja Gaiden 4 and The Keeper by Double Fine. The new games will start releasing on October 8, and they will have something to offer all types of gamers on the console, PC, and cloud platforms.

The subscription service will drop several titles this month and players have only a short amount of time to play them or buy them at a discount. Cocoon, Core Keeper and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed will leave the Game Pass library on October 15, 2025. Microsoft reminds subscribers of the possibility to save up to 20% when purchasing the games that are leaving before removal.
