Game Pass Evolution: Price Increase, Day-One Editions, and Exclusive Bonuses
Oct-25-2025
This month brings a mix of adjustments and fresh content for Game Pass subscribers, highlighting new titles and service enhancements set to excite gamers everywhere.
Microsoft began the month by revealing a notable increase in the Game Pass price along with several other service modifications. In addition, a sizable collection of titles—including a lineup of Ubisoft classics—is now on offer, reinforcing the value of the subscription despite the price change.
The excitement continues with the announcement of a new set of highly anticipated Day 1 games that will soon join the service. According to a recent update from a well-known source, these upcoming titles are scheduled to be available on Game Pass. They have noted that titles indicated with a single star will not be accessible on Game Pass Premium at launch, while those marked with two stars, which were already part of other subscriptions, will now appear as part of Xbox Premium. The details are summarized below:
- Single-star titles: Not available on Game Pass Premium at launch
- Double-star titles: Previously available with other subscriptions, now included with Xbox Premium
Additional benefits accompany the new releases. Among these is a special reward package exclusive to Game Pass members who play Albion Online, offering even more value for those subscribed.
Finally, be aware that three titles will no longer be part of the service after October 31. Subscribers interested in retaining any of these games can take advantage of a discount available through their current subscription.
