Oh boy. That would drive subs through the roof.Microsoft must be laughing, how many subs can we push. They'll have to do something like axe Gold or make the all in one value so good that it basically does under the table. It starts to look a bit ridiculous when you have so many subs, crossing over, gold games, game pass etc. Don't get greedy.
I do think the idea of Xbox Game Pass and an xCloud-like subscription makes a ton of sense.
Yeah, I'm trying to go over the different ways it could be done.if i were to guess, they will either have an xcloud sub or include it with gold, but have it included in game pass ultimate as well.
$20 per month?
Ultimate is already $15 and no way they allow you to stream from their hardware for free - they pointed out you can use your own console for free which implies xCloud is a cost.
Bundled with doesn't mean 'included at no cost with'
Game streaming is free not xCloud.Yeah, I'm trying to go over the different ways it could be done.
Other article he did say free. So...maybe no new sub for xCloud but included in an existing sub.
What's interesting is what about connecting to your console to remote play.
No reason for remote play to have additional cost.Yeah, I'm trying to go over the different ways it could be done.

It's almost as if I said something a long time ago...and it happens.

Bro... Looking at people saying shit I've been saying for like 2 years when people said shit like it wouldn't work because of "economies of scale" and a bunch of other bullshit. It's all the same shit. I called MS IPs being in GamePass, I called raytracing in consoles nextgen, I called tiers for GamePass... Months or years in advance and get shitted on. Every idea I've said is slowly but surely coming true. Maybe just maybe, I know what the fuck I'm talking about.
And Xcloud will come too....
My word.....
Microsoft flexing some muscle to encourage people to jump in... Whew.
Yea, it's smart. Once people are sucked in, they'll keep paying.

I have 36 months of xbox live gold, xbox game pass and xbox game pass for pc due to the one dollar deal. I'm set for the next 3 years. If they can add xcloud to the mix. It will be Xbox Voltron confirmed.
Explain this dollar deal to me please, sounds interesting.I have 36 months of xbox live gold, xbox game pass and xbox game pass for pc due to the one dollar deal. I'm set for the next 3 years. If they can add xcloud to the mix. It will be Xbox Voltron confirmed.
Do this:
if you still have some months of gold or gamepass left in your account you need to buy less gold/gamepass months because you can only have a total of 36 months in your account .Get up to 36 months of xbox live gold as cheap as you can find ( i bought 3x12 XBL gold for 43€ a piece) and then go to the store and update your xbox account to ultimate for 1 dollar. You need to use paypal, debit, visa because it has to be set as renewable but it will only cost you 1 dollar until your sub ends.after that its 12,99 or something. but you can cancel when the time comes.
With Xbox Ultimate you will have xbox live gold, gamepass for console and gamepass for pc for only the price you paid for your XBL gold you bought.
Whatever Xbox live or game pass months you have. Ms combines them all to one. Let's say you already 12 months of live and 3 months of game pass. If you sign up for game of ultimate for just a dollar. Ms combines everything. You will now have 15 months of ultimate. If I'm wrong anyone correct me.
Oh really? I did not know that.
As someone with Gamepass who looks at games like Halo 5 and says "I kinda want to try this, but fuck downloading 70 gigs to play the single player for 40 minutes and then never again", this would be a godsend. Something where you go to a gamepass game and it presents "start download" or "stream now" would be incredible.
How's Microsoft making money off gamepass if people are taking advantage of gamepass discount and stacking for months for a cheap ass price. Instead of them getting revenue with originally price point they taking in far less with all this good ass discount.I have 36 months of xbox live gold, xbox game pass and xbox game pass for pc due to the one dollar deal.

I know, no worries. I'm just looking at this thread and seeing people thinking that xCloud will only be apart of Ultimate...This ain't the model. I've said this last year, it will be apart of all gamepass tiers. It will just be certain things differentiating them.
Microsoft has thousands of acres of trees that grow money.How's Microsoft making money off gamepass if people are taking advantage of gamepass discount and stacking for months for a cheap ass price.

For instance poster is set for 3 years he got a good ass discount according to him hard to see how they making money with people getting it for the low, except they only care about how many people is subscribed?
Gee it's almost quite like this week is full of news.This is like the fifth thread about what Phil is saying in the first page, can we have an OT for him
If they do this, i dont know how anyone can compete, thats amazing value.
They got me. Been on Xbox live for 12 years and now have three years of ultimate stacked. Also never paid more than $40 for gold.Gold is $10 a month
Ultimate is $15 a month
Maybe Microsoft wants to convert those Gold users into Ultimate users.
Although if people aren't interested in game pass then they still get money out of you either way but imagine the cat amongst the pigeons if Microsoft made online play free next gen and just depended on Game Pass and X Cloud which could be the new replacement Ultimate.
Get ready then. :)If xCloud gets bundled with gamepass, that will be the ultimate deal for me. I'd probably sub forever.
