Microsoft has just announced a long list of games coming to Xbox Game Pass this month. Many titles are being switched from Game Pass Ultimate exclusives to the cheaper Premium tier. This is great news for anyone who downgraded their subscription following the news of price hikes a couple of months back; the Ultimate tier saw a 50% price increase.

It’s worth noting that, according to a poll we ran, the majority of Game Pass subscribers canceled their subscriptions. Regardless, with the cheaper Premium and Essential tiers now in place, perhaps it’s a good time to check in on what you can get on the platform right now.
