It looks like enough people dropped Game Pass to make MS take notice. Nice to have them drop the prices. Great reduction on Ultimate, for PC Game Pass not so much.

Not enough at least to lure me back at this stage - but maybe I’ll grab a month or two sub at some stage to play some games that grab me.

I think they were correct in dumping new COD releases from the subscription and have them join a year later. I don’t think COD is a priority for GP subscribers.

Same, I am patiently waiting for Fable to release on gamepass, then will pay for a month just to complete that. And if by the time Fable releases, and Doom: The dark Ages, as well as forza horizon 6 is still on gamepass, well then, that is going to be a good month of gaming for me.
